Unique content aquarium site. Over 100 pages text.

    I am looking to sell an unique aquarium related website. This site was original made for a client who ordered the site and than disappeared from the face of the earth. Perhaps my fault since I didn't demand any up front payment. I have been unable to contact the client for several months so I decided to sell the site.

    The site has more than 100 pages of unique content. I have not pointed any links to it and it is therefore not indexed in the search engines. No traffic or revenue. The site utilizes php includes to make it easy to edit the site and make sitewide changes. It is Adsense ready.

    Url: http://www.keepingaquariumfish[dot]com
    old domain: aquariumforum[dot]info will also be included in the sale. Had the site resting on this domain while I was waiting to hear from my client.

    I am looking for 1000$ or more for this but might accept a little lower bids. Bin 1500$ which still is way below what the client was supposed to pay for this site.

    Payment via paypal only.

    I will welcome all and any questions.

    Copyscape shows the same.

    Whois.sc shows aquariumforum.info might be yours (registrant name)

    Please advise on this.

    Very sorry. Didn't think aquariumforum.info ever been indexed.
    It is the same site but I didn't really like the name so I changed it.

    Buyer will get aquariumforum.info domain as well and can do a 301 redirect to the new domain if they want.

    Lets say midnight, 0:00 GMT Monday unless BIN is met. The auction time will be extented for 4 hours after the last bid if bids are made last minute to avoid sniping.

    However I reserve the right not to sell if I don't get any bid I feel happy with.

    I'm still a little confused ... Were you redesigning aquariumforum for your client, or adding content? Aquariumforum.info is over a year old, and has indexed forum pages filled with porn spam. Did you change domains to detach your good content from the spam content?

    I'd be happy to bid if I understood the history better.

    Thanks,
    tasty

    Sorry for not answering sooner. I didn't get any notification.

    I created aquariumforum.info for a client. I didn't think it ever had become indexed as I just have had it sitting a long time while I was trying to contact the client. I knew it had been a long time since I created the site but didn't think it had been a year already. I changed the name since I didn't really like the domain aquariumforum.info as I didn't think the extension fits the domain.

    The buyer gets aquariumforum.info as well as the new domain and can choose which one to use.

    About the spam. I didn't know about it as I hadn't look at the domain. I just but up the content on a new domain I liked better.

    I hope that answers the questions.

    High bid 700$
