    You know it's a quality sale when the seller's username is the name of the site ;)

    Good luck with the sale, wish I had the money right now.

    Can you post traffic stats, as well as posting stats from the vbulletin control panel?

    Yep you are right, selling my baby, how much and work and not sleeping nights are put into it (all coding except the design I have done myself). It has lots of features that no other vbulletin forum does have like YouTube video http://soccervideoclips.soccerfriend.com

    Check out automated stats (link from the homepage)

    Also I hacked photo gallerie so it is not enough just to register on the site, but the member have to make 10 posts in order to be able to view the photos and this a driving FORCE that will make users to actually post on the forum so forum posting services are not necessary (right now I turned it off but if the potential buyer wants to see how the hack works I will turn it on)

    Also pR4 SiteB]

    And the webalizer stats
    www.soccerfriend.com/stats/soccerstats.gif

    And VB control panel registrations stats
    www.soccerfriend.com/stats/vb_stats.gif

    NOT TO MENTION BRANDABLE DOMAIN NAME

    dude, you have a nice site, BUT your are asking too much for it. Usually, the sites are sold for 10X upto 12X months revenue. Your revenue is $35 per month, so a normal value would be around $350... $420

    ... and you are asking at least $1200 (3 years revenue!), and the BIN is $5000 (12 years revenue!)

    if you reconsider the start price, and BIN, i might make a bid.... but else, no way!

    good luck.

    were myspace.com or youtube.com bought for 10X upto 12X months of revenue? it is not only revenue that determines the value of the website.. it domain name, traffic, PR, pages indexed on Google, keywords..

    off course I understand your desire to lower the price.. ;)

    of course there are other factors... but for little sites (like yours, comparing with YouTube, for example) this 10x-12x is a good orientation point. just browse this Sites submforum and see if anyone ever sold a website for 12 years' revenue :D

    Personally i agree, its a nice site and some of my sites are actually getting hits from yours, due to someone putting my link on a topic :)

    but i think your pricing your site based on the work you have put into it.

    Basicaly coming up with a price based on what your heart thinks its worth not your head, ive done it before now but people will only pay what they believe it to be worth - which as said by adolix is 10-12 months revenue.
