idEa247.com Website & Directory for Sale
Hi Everyone...

The web development website http://www.idea247.com is up for sale. I am very busy with other projects and do not have the time to maintain it. Asking price is $1000

It includes a directory powered by Links2.0 by Gossammer Threads with modifications.
http://www.idea247.com/links/pages/

If you do a search for "internet ideas" the site usually comes in anywhere from number one to ten.

The price includes all transfer fees and hosting for a month or as soon as you find a new host.

Thanks..

It still seems like it isn't totally developed?

What made you come to the $1000 price tag?

How many hits do you get monthly?

Not meaning to be rude but it just seems like you offer logo design and programming - there isn't much else to the site unless I missed something?

There seem to be quite a lot of dead images too.

That's about the only page that's not done. The price covers design, the directory and all the work that I've put in since 1999 Tongue

<<<<Not meaning to be rude but it just seems like you offer logo design and programming - there isn't much else to the site unless I missed something? >>>> We'll, there's a directory as well...
Besides the directory, there are many internal pages.
<<<There seem to be quite a lot of dead images too. >>> Like I said... have not had time to maintain it.


If you simple figure websites cost around $500... Then $1000 isn't too much to ask for the entire package...

To be honest I can't say how many hits it's getting at the moment cause the stats haven't been updated since I moved servers.

Mmm I guess before spending that amount of money I'd need to have an idea of why you think it's worth the $1000 - without the hits stats I don't think you've put a good case forward.

Saying you think it is a good deal based on the price of a basic website isn't convincing.

I think most websites today are valued on their revenue and membership base and potential. You can get a poorly designed site that is probably highly valued and vice versa.

As you are selling the site I can only assume it brings in no revenue which then tells me that I'd probably have to end up re-doing the site anyway so I'd be spending $1000 just for the domain name.

hmmm, can you sell GT scripts like that?

I need some cash for a better computer. $1000 for my site wouldn't be bad. I can always get a new name.

Going prices for a businesses seems to be 6 months of revenue +10% if growing and -10% if stagnant or fading. I have no idea what an internet site would go for ...

Sorry if I sound sarcastic but just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

Beyond submission to Google, I never tried to market the site. I just feel it's a good opportunity for someone or a development team to clean it up and run with it. I planned to add a freelancers script where programmers, designers and webmaster's can come together but like I said, I'm spreading myself too thin and need to take care of a different project that means more to me as an artist and spiritually.

I'm certainly open to criticism on this and open to negotiation as well. I just feel close to this site 'cause I've worked on it since '99 like I said and it's sorta like letting your first baby go Tongue

On the other hand, since I run my own server, I could just leave it as is and weave in and out to approve/decline sites that are still being submitted. I just hate to leave things half-baked.

As far as selling GT scripts, not sure how that works but I'd rather sell the whole package than hawk the script on it's own.

I'm sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, it wasn't intended. I was just looking for some sort of evaluation as to why you thought the value of the site was $1000. Obviously you can charge what you wish - I'd probably try to sell my own sites for more than they are worth, then at least if you have to barter you still make a nice amount :)

Edit:
