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.
