Selling Penny Auction Site: BidOasis.net - Proof of users, HUGE potential

    I am taking offers on an established penny auction site bidoasis.net for outright purchase.

    I simply do not have the time anymore, I started the site in October and brought in a good amount of money from credit purchases and item purchases, but finding a great marketing partner has proved very hard and my outside workload has doubled since I opened. To see the site go here:

    http://www.bidoasis.net

    The site is like most penny auction sites (see swoopo, madbids, landofsavins etc), the users purcahse credits which they will use to either enter or bid on auctions. I currently have the script designed to run 2 styles of auctions: seat auctions and penny auctions. Seat auctions the users pays a flat fee to enter the auction and gets unlimited bids. Penny auctions are the more common styles that sites like swoopo, quibids, bidcactus all use, where you pay per bid to win. Users like these sites a lot because they are fun and you can get a great deal on the auctions, I even have some testimonials up on the site for users to see. You make your profit on either the cost of each bid (.25c per bid, so a $50 gift card needs to go for 2.00 for you to make money) or on teh cost of the entrance fees the user pays to enter an auction then get unlimited bids (typically, .75c-1.00 per $10 of auction worth for those auctions).

    Other features I have purchased for the site is the script license name being removed from footer and a chat box. The major function of the chat box is so people can talk to each other and incoming users will know it is a legit site, also it is a quick way for you to answer users questions.

    Here is a quick screen capture of the last few days my site was open (site accidently went down for awhile, we got the problem fixed however). You would be purchasing a site with an active established userbase who enjoy this site very much, and with an established userbase you will find that new people who see the site are more willing to join and will not have to undergo the process of trying to build one yourself, all you need to do is market market market and grow your userbase. JaguarPC is hosting it and they are an excellent, affordable host.

    With this site, you are essentially paying what I paid for the site, art, chatbox and footer removal, and nothing else. The site is up and ready to go whenever you are.

    If you are good at marketing and getting mass quantities of people to see your sites, this site would be great for you. Please PM me with offers or ask questions in this thread. Can also IM me on AIM @ Tsiguy96
