(The typo in title above can't be fixed, can a Mod please fix it).
Are you buying based in intrinsic value plus traffic. If so I can PM you some good ones you may like?
P.S. Watch out, there is considerabe false stats given by sellers on the forums. I seriously doubt if I would ever buy another traffic name based on several proven false stats names I was badly burned on, some for much more money than the one I am writing about. It has happened too many times on the forums :veryangry:
As a more or less perfect example of that I purchased Buts.us based 100% on its high stated traffic and links to screenshots he supplied in the sales thread. Without the traffic said to be 77-visits a day I would not buy the name no matter how low priced since such a name in the .us ext is little more than reg fee without traffic.
At first I had it on my server where the traffic was obviously not there starting the same day as the domain transfer since I put it online with a temp page immediately and the DNS resolved right away. When I complained to seller asking for refund (plus a $50 fee for my trouble and aggravation) he said no to that cliaming the screenshots were legit and the 77-day stats were according to Sedo.
So I then moved it to a non-optimized parked page at Sedo (which same non-optimized sedo page seller also had running). I had it there for all of March and after 32-days it had exactly a dismal 28-total visits, or less than 1/day :veryangry: Based on the proven false stats it should have had 2,464 visits instead of a worthless 28 total.
The seller said I should have asked for a traffic test but the reason I did not is with a low priced $125 name it did not seem warranted, especially because someone else woud have quickly posted sold before I could even start a traffic test based on the stated high traffic.
Bottom line is always ask for a traffic test but the problem is someone else may post sold without a test if the traffic claim is high. Next best option is don't buy any names based on stats, which advice I plan to follow.
