How much for these sites????

I have been trying to get my sites sold for a while now and they dont seem to get much interest.

My first site is a hosting/design company with $2565 income a year. It also comes with free hosting for a year and custom CMS and custom website with master rights to both.

My second site is www.arcadeland.net it is a very good site with a custom skin, great domain and a consistand 50 uniques a day and 500 games plays a day. It will also come with 1000 free games to upload one bought.

My third is www.arcadex2.com it has an amazing domain name but havnt really done much with it. This will also come with a custom skin and 1000 free games.

The final one is the largest one i have. It is www.arcadeflash.info it has between 300 and 600 unqies a day everyday and comes with 1000 free games. This one i think is worth the most.


Many hosting/design sites go for 10-12 times monthly income but i have had a bid of $800 with bin of $1200 and still no one goes for it. Also many arcade sites go for between $60-$200 without any advertising or traffic.

So how much would you say they are worth?

Have you tried to sell them on other boards? You might get some bids if you list them on multiple boards.

I think your main problem is the designs for the sites. They don't look like they're worth much. But, that shouldn't be a problem if you could give the buyers solid stat and revenue proof.

10 month revenue is about right. I know they're like your babies. At least I treat my sites that way. However, maybe you need to list them at prices under what you would like the starting price to be.

With a low starting bid, the buyers would think that the final price will not cost them much. Low starting prices gets the bidding rolling, the more the bidding the better your site will look to interested parties that haven't bid yet.

I see that you have 1000 games as your incentive, but another problem is you're using what perceived to be an obselete arcade script. *They're all the same to be, but gss and gs scripts are more popular than phparcadescript these days.

Sitepoint worries more about design. Digitalpoint worries more about traffic and revenues. I don't know about Webmaster Talk. Hope you'll get some good prices for your sites soon

assuming you have full traffic and revenue stats. don't allow your buyers to doubt the value of your site. be as honest as possible.

start the bidding at $200-250 (1 month revenue).

first:
the site doesn't look like it's making 2500/year. honestly, it looks like an empty cheap template.

second:
you have missing pages, error pages. that's a big negative!

third:
if you could, show some sites hosted by your mga-networks. you're not just hosting, design too right? it includes design so post up the portfolio of the site.

fourth:
will anything change after the new owner take over? will the employees stay? how many clients are returning? hosting and design clients. how much are you making from adsense? that's also important.

basically, break down everything and make it easy for the buyer to see and understand that your site does generate the stated yearly revenues and that it's consistent and will not drop drastically after the new owner take over.

like i said, be completely honest. ask them if you're missing anything at all. answer pms and bids quickly. update the auction regularly. you do not have to set an end date for the auction.

list it at $200-250
bid increment is $100
bin at $2000-2500

no end date. if they're bidding, let them bid. if the bidding slows down and it's close to your price range, then set an end update to get another 100-200 in case someone wants to come in at the last moment to take the site. that's what an end date should be used for.

if bidding is slowing down and the price is not right, negotiate with the people that have pmed you. get it close to your price range. but, don't approach them. let them come to you. don't look desperate. if the bidding stops at a cheap price, people will contact you to offer something close to your bin. to get more bids, update your sale thread regularly to get more attention. you don't have to all questions in the same post. save some answers to bump your thread up to the top.

**this is all if your revenue is legit

Aim for 6-12 times your monthly revenue. Anything over 6 months is a good value.

^agreed. if he set starting price at $200-250 and BIN 2000-2500. his buyer will more than likely meet him half way.

1000-1400 is a good price.

Who is your reseller hosting account through. If you decide to keep your site. Get a new reseller. Or at least don't post your uptime stats.

I might be interested in purchasing your hosting site.
Pm me or email me more info about it. info@webserverzone.com

arcadeflash.info has 1876 uniques this month already with 326000 hits and 3 days almost 100% downtime due to server upgrade.

Would this help the sale having this information?

Have sold a banner for $15 per month on arcadeflash.info

Space for another 2, and 20+ text links. With small amounts of advertising it could be worth $250+ per month with adsense on and $5-$10 per text link!
