I am selling this because its too much for me to handle. This website is a monster and I am involved with too many other things in my life and this took on a life of its own. There needs to be some modifications to the stylesheet as you can see it looks pretty bland but its very easy to spice up. It comes with a template system and is VERY VERY easy to control the design with a basic knowledge of html. If you come any little bugs I can fix them for a very low fee or you can have someone you know fix them yourself. there are no bugs that I know of at the moment. The script currently accepts paypal and authorize.net you can input your info through the backend and disable/enable whatever payment module or you can use both. The starting bid is $200 but the reserve is much higher, i will accept private offers if the offer is reasonable. take a look at the site, what you see is what you get pretty much. I can also allow serious bidders to take a look at the admin panel.

Price (or starting bid): $200

Is an auction?: Yes

The buyer can do whatever they want with the script except sell it unless it includes the domain with it.

 

how come the buttons at the top dont work?

 

part of some of the work that needs to be done. Nothing drastic. My computer sucks so much that i cant open even my ftp client.

 

you would think for $8,000 they would give you working buttons

 

lol!!!!

 

What webdesign company charged you 8K, and put you a 160KB banner ???

I beleive you bought the restaurant database. I don't remember the website, but I saw it receintly, it sells a database with all US restaurants and a script. So you payed something like $100, not $8K.... am I wrong?

 

Does sound a bit crazy... $8,000 for this site??? I'm sure I could get a programmer from Yahoo to build me a site for that amount

I have a lyrics site that has over 250,000 lyrics in the database... but I sure wouldn't go around inventing that it cost me $8,000 to build it

 

fryman, you're my guest for dinner today. i just found this restaurant and I want to try it

HMMM how strange, look also at this: http://www.atfood.com/restaurant_info.php?r_id=488786

 

Sounds good... I'm in the mood for a good bidibipup and a few cocuts spiced with some bla bla bla...

 

lol!!!!

 

Yeap, You are right I bought that database and use it in my site http://www.BestDine.com also added two more databses. One for bars and one for drinks. I think that I did it over a weekend or two. The rest of the functioanlity mentioned above I can probably add in another week or so. I SAVED MYSELF 8K! BTW I used no buttons, but the links work.

 

Thats a nice looking website

I cant belive some of the things people try and pull. This isnt the first time I have seen some take a $15 website and try and pass it off as gold. Maybe that shit works on ebay but I dont think its going to go very far on a fourm where people are a little more sophisticated and actualy know what they are buying.

 

$15 website? That sort of remark doesnt even deserve a response. First of all my site does a zipcode radius search, not a plain zipcode search. Secondly you didnt even see what the admin panel looks like. You dont know the half of the stuff that went into the website so stop being ignorant and troll on someone elses thread.

And to the idiot saying i bought the database from the guy....WHY DONT YOU TRY CHECKING THE DAMN DATABASE BEFORE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. NO I DONT EVEN OWN THE DB FROM THAT GUY, NOBODY ON THESE FORUMS HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN MY DATABASE, THIS WEBSITE HAS 80 PAYING RESTAURANT OWNERS WITH LOGO's, MENUS ETC ETC.

 

Can you give me a breakdown of the costs of the website, I want to see where the $8,000 went.

EDIT: Saw this over at SP. Might want to have a look at it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7552903636&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT

Did that one cost you $8,000 too? According to your ebay listing it has more listings in the database, by your gorilla math it must have cost you at least $15,000 then.

Your feedback is also very bad:
"received notice from ebay saying suspended this seller"
"I have a FRAUD claim with EBAY & PAYPAL against this seller - BEWARE"

 

Yeap,

It looks like a cookie cutter websites. Check this one out http://www.atfood.com. Also, I can get a zipcode databse with latitude and longitude and do a "Circular" reference in an afternoon at best. Hey Good idea I will do that. Also, If you have some development experience, you can dowload the ChefMoz data dump and parse it into a database for free including reviews.

 

I will give you $8,000 to make it for me

 

Don't even bother with this guy,, It only takes a few seconds of looking at the html source code to tell you everything. People like this are amazing.

 

My bet is he is still in High School, probably 16. Bad grammer and scam artists are usually too young to know better, or just stupid. I'm giving him a break and calling him young. But I could be wrong.

 

evilmonkeyspanker what do you see in the html that tells you *everything*??

 

LoL ! NP If you are interested in the table, send me a PM with your email. I will send you the table with the Latitude and Longitude in excel (13MB). For Free
The rest is a triangulation formula which you can look up in the internet.
