do i have to do anything to maintain the site or can i just sit back and watch the profits roll in? If i bid $6000 will i easily be able to make it back within a year with no marketing?

 

Yes you can, you don't have to do a thing as the site will continue to receive updates from my dedicated server. Please bid at the link provided.

 

Will i have your guarentee that i won't have to do a single thing and not lose traffic and profits and you'll ensure a smooth and non time or money costly transition?

 

also will you help me set up the additional banner ads and will it affect traffic

 

How come in the News section of the site it says that you are having problems with the links and downloads if the site is automated. Also it stated that you have already started done the first semester exams when in this thread it says you are about to start college and that's why you have to sell this site.

 

I cannot guarantee your success, as the market is always fluctuating.

I do not recommend you buy this site, as it seems you do not have the slightest clue to run one.

Problems occur when the server is down, this applies to everything else really. Starting college in first year, why are you doubting such frivolous things.

 

a bit to steep for me mate.. but how about selling me the script??

if possible please pm about it.

 

Only 10.5 days left until auction ends, bid while you can

 

Way off target with both starting bid and BIN. Anime sites are very common and hard to monetize well. Most sell for 3-6x monthly revenue if even that.

 

why are you trying to ruin his thread. If your not interested then don't bid. I think this site is worth more than $5K with all the custom code and revenue. Goodluck to OP. I would have joined in the bid but holding to money at the moment (if you know wat I mean )

 

When you don't get the amount your looking for PM me. I'll pay a reasonable amount, for an anime site.

 

Thanks Hope to find good new owner for the site.

 

great website!

I will go to bid it!

 

Thanks, I can't edit original post anymore, forgot to put this in.

 

BIN has been lowered to 11k as requested.

 

what programming language is it written by?

 

php and some php-cli

 

Only 2 days left before auction ends.

 

How do you know this? His name seems to be Vietnamese
