Let's start this off at $100 per site. Highest offer (above my reserve) by Friday July 21 10PM MST takes it.
Free push to the current registrar. One month free hosting. Full instructions will be provided. Free email support while you host with me.
PayPal payment only (no eChecks). Posted on multiple forums. Post SOLD to claim @ BIN. I reserve the right to refuse any bids, other than BIN, and end auction at anytime. Thanks for looking!
Instead of starting from scratch, these sites are a great (and cheap) way to start your own Star Wars site - all at least 6 month-old (some more), indexed, backlinks, PR, nice designs, great CMS, content! What more could you ask for?

If you can increase the targeted traffic to these sites, you'll see a corresponding increase in income. As I mentioned, I have not promoted these sites at all, so anyone else with some elbow grease and SEO could do better.

allstarwars.net PR3 SOLD @ BIN
- All Star Wars - All the Time!
- 6 Month-old site running on latest version of Joomla (V 1.0.10) with a GPL template (that I modified somewhat). This site is the ideal foundation for a Star Wars portal/fan site. You can easily add more features like a guestbook, forum, etc.
- About 2,910 backlinks

Adsense (since February 11): $7.16. Other affiliate sales, will have to check, assume none.
- No promotion done for this site, but has lots of potential with some time and effort. Stats: http://lukeskywalker.net/axs/ax-admin.pl

Here are the revenue figures for all the sites, as far as I could muster them:
- The two Amazon shops - income is impossible to calculate 100% accurate because I do not track per site. But I can make an estimate according to the AOM notices I received when items were added to the shopping cart (that, of course, does not necessarily translate to sales):
- lukeskywalker.net: $181.95 in sales (not commissions)
- theempirestrikesback.net: difficult to say because I received a bunch of traffic from fatwallet.com regarding one product @ $19.99 (see the AXS stats) and everyone (47 shopping cart reports!) was putting the item mentioned into the shopping cart, but according to Amazon only 2 sales @ $19.99 e.a. were actually made from this, plus some other items over time: so about $77.11 in sales (not commissions)
- Adsense (only added at various later dates)
- allstarwars.net: $0 (Adsense were added later)
- lukeskywalker.net: $7.16 (since February 11)
- darthplagues.com: $3.64 (since February 26)
- starwarsblog.net: $0.54 (since March 4)
- starwarsforum.net: $0.34 (since March 1)
- starwarstrilogy.net: $4.26 (since February 11)
- theempirestrikesback.net: $0.14 (since March 28)
- Other income: once again, I do not tract sales from individual sites so cannot tell you with great accuracy how much each site earned for what - for our purposes therefore assume $0
If you can increase the targeted traffic to these sites, you'll see a corresponding increase in income. As I mentioned, I have not promoted these sites at all, so anyone else with some elbow grease and SEO could do better.
