Wow - very steep asking price. With an annual profit of just over $4000, is it really realistic to ask for a minimum of $17,500? That means that if it carries on in the same way, it will be 5 years before the buyer would even see a profit.

That's odd because the site was created in April,... Unranked in alexa, and a page rank 0.

I'll gladly buy your site, but you'll need to come down about 900% on the price.

ryangassxx is clueless. One of the four domains was created in April, the other three have been around for years and are ranked on Alexa. Get all the facts before you post false statements.

Angelosanto - The valuations shown are from buysellwebsites.com's valuation calculator. The site also has the potential to add significantly to it's net income, but I just haven't had the time to add other sports to the site's RotoUmpire service. Adding football would potentially double the site's income.

If you are seriously interested, let me know and I'll shoot you a document with a lot more details on the site's potential, Alexa rankings, etc.

No sweet heart,... that's not the correct way to use the feedback system... The feedback system is to be used between people who have made a transaction with one another.. You don't just leave someone negative feedback because someone said something in the forum you don't like..

And it was not lies.. If anything it was an oversight on my part, but not lies... I did a whois on 2 of the 3 domains you're selling and that was indeed the case for those 2.. I should have looked at the third before drawing conclusions and I apologize for that.

We need to do something about this erroneous feedback now,..
