My work is closing and I must find some funds in the next few weeks to make ends meet, the server is located at my work (we’re an ISP) and I have to either find a host for it or sell it, right now I’m leaning towards selling it if I can get a serious enough offer. This site has some real potential and if I had the time/money I would not think twice about keeping it

I owned this domain for years, I've been offer several hundred dollars for it years ago just for the name. Back in October 2004 I decided to do something with it. I am selling this as a complete site including the $300 forum software, custom designed logo (not clip art I paid an artist to design it), custom programmed caching front end, custom designed RSS engine, and some extra ASP software such as Absolute Banner Manager XE - Version 2.0, Absolute News Manager and many plug-ins. I paid over $290 for the Absolute software, Weblog Expert log analyzer $75, custom sql news system. The site is on a Windows 2k server box and is in ASP. I am willing to sell the whole Dell 400SC 512m ECC P4 2.8gig 800Mhz FSB, 120Gigabyte HD server.

The server was pruchased back in October just to run this site. I will sell the machine, but not the Windows 2K & SQL license you will need to attain your own license for the installed software. You do not need to buy the server, I am offering it incase you want the entire site as it is working now, I will include the server for $450 plus shipping.

I had Chis Mohler call me from OverStock.com, he's the affiliate manager, around 3 weeks ago, he told me they we're sitting around and was thinking of the perfect domain name for a deal site, they decided on KickAssDeals.com and seen I had it. He contacted me directly and wanted to help me get the site going. He said he has affiliates that make over $5,000 a month and with my site and domain name it should pull in some serious traffic, I'll provide his contact information to the buyer.

I do have 10,000's of real visitors a month. Many are subscribed to the feeds by RSS, I seen a few web sites use our feeds on their front page and in their forums. This site requires someone to spend some time with it to make it fly. I'll give the buyer the programmers email address of the SQL news system I am using. I designed a caching system to allow the site to take 1000's of hits without getting a beating processor wise. 90% of the front page is built using cache files.

I do not update this site for days or some time a little over a week and yet the traffic keeps coming, I have promoted it some with google adwords back in November for a short period and synicat8., but it’s been a while and yet the RSS feeds are still growing. I have made some affiliate commissions with the site, but really not a high amount, mainly due to lack of involvement and advertising funds. For a site that’s basically 3 months old I’m happy with the results.

There is no guarantee of performance or income, but I believe anyone that can understand traffic will clearly see this site’s value if you can capture your market correctly. I processed a detailed report in PDF format and it can be downloaded from – http://www.kickassdeals.com/Report.pdf

PM all offers, I hope to find a buyer within the week. Thank you.

what is your BIN?

I honestly do not have one set, every one keep's PMing me asking how much. I am seeking bids for the site. I will take all bids for the next few days and decide very soon. If I get an offer "I can not refuse", I'll sell it now.

I am realistic, but I need to cover my investments and time spent on the site up to date. All serious offers considered or other ideas as welll, had two partnership offers PMed to me.

If someone wants it, I'll post screen shots of the sites admin tools, just request it here in the forum topic.

What is the source for the content? Hand Managed? If so, how much time does it require?

Yes it's hand managed thats why come I haven't had the time to update it much. The time can be between 5 minutes to whatever you want to invest. The more active you are the better your results. I noticed this trend when ever I updated the page my vistors would jump because of other forums and sites using my feeds and because of all the end users subscribed to my RSS feeds. I could do automated, but all the spyware programs out there now that change the affilate codes of sites like this, require me to cloak anything that isn't Amazon, hence why come I've been doing mainly Amazon deals, because they are faster to ad. I have a cloaking script on the site. Doesn't require that much time, but being i have no time, anything that reequires more is too much.

I'm getting all kinds of odd PM's. I just took some screen shows of the admin sections. The site was setup so little HTML editing would be needed to keep it running. I have wysiwyg editors for the most part. I wanted it to require as little as time as possible some of these editors really reduce the time involved since you do not have to edit the pages it's all sql/database driven.

Notice most the stats do not track clicks because the ad is offsite, but notice the amount of the hits that are tracked ;)

I have been accepted by perfomics, linkshare, shareasale, commision junction, befast (befree) and many others for an affiliate site. Such companies as Office Max, Office Depot, CompUsa, Circuit City, Sears and many others have approved the site to be an affiliate. I do not know how it would work, if possible I would turn over the affilate accounts as well. You would have to change account information such as social security and address to match your own if they allow it, if not you would have to reapply

Instead of answering how much will I take for this site via PM 60 times. I am placing a BUY IT NOW price of $3500 with out the server. You get the domain KickAssDeals.com (its at godaddy.com), full FTP access for 1 week to download everthing from the server and 1 copy of Timbuktu to remotely control the server so you can dump the SQL database. I really didn't have time to answer that many PMs and think this is the best route.
This price is far below what this site is worth, but I can not wait long to sell it.

Post sold and PM me if you want this insane offer.

I want to stress to everyone this site requires a host that provides Windows IIS / ASP & SQL it's built for speed. It will not run on Linux, I'm throwing on over $600 worth of software that I licensed for the site!
