First off, this is not a final thing, I'm seeing what type of offers I can get. If I get good offers, I may CONSIDER selling.

I bought a previously popular web site a few months ago for about $25.00 or so (the site had been dead for about a year), and developed it into its former glory. Previous to the site dying, it got about 7,500 unique hits per day.

Some stats:

Month: Jan
Unique: 25359
Bandwidth: 9.16 GB

Month: Feb
Unique: 34101
Bandwidth: 13.03 GB

Month: Mar
Unique: 51521
Bandwidth: 36.89 GB

Month: Apr
Unique: 74324
Bandwidth: 60.47 GB

Month: May (as of 5/18)
Unique: 46414
Bandwidth: 27.61 GB

The site is active, and has a forum (IPB) that is fully modded, and customized with roughly 3,100 members, and about 100,000 posts. It's fairly active and gets about 30-40 new members a day.

Within the last few days we've been getting about 4,000-5,000 unique hits per day, and that is increasing. We are busiest during weekends.

The actual site has over 400 pages of content, run from a custom made content management system, hundreds of guides, lots of tutorials, daily posted news (by unpaid staff), a portal, and more.

The site is run by about 15 unpaid, yet very talented staff members.

The site does require a lot of updates in order to mantain traffic, and is a fan site for a popular online game (Neopets). I've run it purely as a hobby, not a job, and due to time limitations and the site getting expensive due to bandwidth (images are hosted on another site that uses 50 GB/month) costs, actual site uses 80 GB/month.

I'd still be able to manage the web site, the bills would just be sent to you. The site which we are a fan site of has fairly strict terms regarding ads, as does our site. We do not allow popups or spyware, or anything that could harm a user's computer. Google Ads or related would be best.

Offer what you'd like, I'd be interested. Nothing less than $250 though.

i get this when I visit the site Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Not currently, but ads could be put on the site, and revenue wouldn't be a problem.

Are the unique figures Unique Visitors or Hits? What are the updates required to be made? Also, how much do you pay for hosting? Please let me know.

interested but due to your PM i'm a bit confused. Are you selling this site as 100% ownership? as you're saying you want to stay on and manage and telling us what ads we can run and not run. Will the buyer be able to 100% fully own the site and put up whatever advertising he wants?

Ditto!

I submitted my BID and this is what he replied: "Would I still be able to manage it? Where would the ads be, etc.?"

Very Confusing!

I want to still mantain control, while the other person is paying for and generating income from the site

When do you stop taking offers?

Why do you want to maintain control?

Does the buer need to pay you something for maintaining the site?

I'm a bit confused too...
