Marketing:
Due to other recently launched sites, I have not been able to spend any time marketing this site, but for a fee I could assist you greatly doing the same or simply give you some pointers. Thus far we only had launched the site and it has been in 'stealth mode' ever since.

Market Niche:
This site has a very great potential, simply because artists are always looking for free galleries to post their art work on and get inspirations from. Currently they are paying quite a lot of money to post their work in galleries and this would be an ideal solution for the same. Furthermore the easy way of submitting artwork to the site will help the site to quickly spread amongst the artists.
With a good marketing campain the site could become a gold mine.

Reason for selling:
I very recently have launched two other sites, which take up most of my time due to their marketing campaings
and other ongoing development/expansions of the same.

What you will get:
- extremely unique and eye catching domain name: Mic(dot)helangelo(dot)com
- Custom Logo (+ Copyright) (Value $250+)
- Custom UI (Value $1K+)

- Lunarpages Hosting ($70) [Ending Aug 2008]
- Unique Site Idea (Pricele$$)

Starting Bid: $400
BIN: $4000
Auction End: 11/11/2007 [12AM PST]

Please let me know if you have any question regarding the site .... will only accept Paypal!

 

I just looked at this site as I'd be interested in an art site... your deluded if you think you'll get a starting bid of $400

Fully customised? It still says "Pligg 9 Beta" on the homepage!

 

Thanks for your valuable contribution, if you would have read carefully then you would have noticed the "Fully customized UI and custom logo" - The content can be changed very easily from "Pligg" to "Mic.helangelo". Regarding the 'delusion' - please try finding someone to recreate the site for your convenience, including custom logo, custom UI, hosting etc. for less.
If you have a good offer then place it, if you have any questions the please do also let me know as I am more then happy to entertain them.

 

I think your starting bid/BIN are too high for a site with no revenue. Not trying to be mean, but you will not get any serious bids at that price.

Is there any traffic?

 

machinecontroller thanks for your feedback, just to make sure we are all on the same page. I am selling the site for the cost of development. As described above the site has been in stealth mode, meaning only 5 folks know about it other than those visiting the thread. Usually when launching a site I do my share of marketing, etc, but for this site I am simply too overloaded to work on it. I have launched several other sites in niche markets, which are quite successful - if you would like to have reference urls for the same then send me a PM. Nonetheless what you will be getting in this auction is a well UI customized Digg-like site for Artists, including logo, unique domain name, and business card design.

The site has a tremendous potential when marketed wisely, the starting bid of $400 is somewhat close to the reserve price that I have set myself and of what I am willing to sell the site for - should it be too high for your wallet then that is quite unfortunate, but I rather not sell the site then donating it. If you have a good offer between the starting bid and the BIN that I have set then I would be willing to give it a thought and call the auction short. Nonetheless the starting bid of $400 will remain as set.
