I am thinking of selling www.pichub.com which is an established image hosting and photo journal site.
The site doesn't make much income now as most are using it for the image hosting but since I added the photo journal part to the site it has a lot more potential to make money. You can put adsense ads or YPN ads on the photo journals. Here is an example of someone's photo journal.

revenue: I have had days as high as $7.20 and as low as $.12. This month has been slow. This site needs some promotion or some good links from the right sites.
The value of the site is in the potential, the domain name and the fact that you get over 1300 members with email addresses. What I was thinking of doing was stopping the free image hosting and making it strickly a photo journal site. That would decrease the bandwidth usage and increase the revenue. It would require a different marketing approach though.
I am not in any hurry to sell this but will consider good offers. I paid $800 for this a few months back and have put in a few hundred bucks in improvements to give you an idea of what minimum offer I am looking for.
here is the alexa for the last 6 months.

As you can see it has had some good traffic and was as high as 11,000 at one point. The previous owner had server problems after the sale and before we could change to our server it was offline for about a week. That stopped a lot of momentum it had. Then we decided to add the photo journal feature which I believe was a good improvement to the site but we haven't promoted it much as of yet to see any results from it. I have a lot on my table now and this site could do extremely well I think with some attention.
One of the reasons I think this site has a lot of potential is that I saw that roachhost.com sold for $100,000 on ebay in December 2005 I believe and what the guy was doing then is simular to this site. He just had a lot more members using the photo journal part of the site and I just added this feature.
The new script was coded by my programmer and there isn't resell rights.
This is not an auction and I reserve the right not to sell but I will sell to a good offer.
