developed World War 2 site(s) for sale, PR5

[Wise]

Hello,

I am considering selling part or all of my World War 2 Network of Sites if the price is right of course. The main part of the sale relates to the forums but I will consider selling the entire package but only on sensible offers.

The sites do not generate any income, this group of sites were more personal than profitable for a change due to my own interests in the War, the google ads used on the forums are used to raise money for Veterans Charities. But of course you will have your own advertising ideas on the site.

I will try and keep this as short as possible k:


----------------------------------------------------
Main Site: Http://www.ww2talk.com

The forums have a pagerank of 5 and its around 69,000 on alexa.

The site was established at the end of February 2004, so thats just 5 months old at this point.

Domains included in the sale are:

ww2talk.com (Google Pagerank 5) @ Namecheap until Jan 2005
wwiiforum.com (Google Pagerank 4) @ Godaddy Until April 2005

Stats for the 5 months on the forums so far are:

Total Posts 4186
Total Topics 743
Total Members 342

Visitor Stats according to Webalizer:

Total visitors

For the month of July the totals visits were 9878 (still today to go)

You can see the stats here, I have only copied the webalizer folder for your benefit so the stats are only accurate from time I finish this post and copy the stats folder to a location you can view them.

View the stats here: http://www.wwiiforum.com/webalizer

The site comes with a registered Invision forum, Gallery License, and Live Chat license, all expire April 2005.

Although you dont need to have your invision board registered it worked out better to get the registration when going for the Gallery and Chat scripts.

If you wish to make offers on this site please indicate that is all your bidding on
------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the forums which kicked it all off I have been gradually building a network of WW2 sites and the following could also be included if required.

These sites are developed, the stats are not huge and rather than list them all I would ask that if your interested then please let me know and I can provide more detail on each site:

http://www.ww2network.co.uk Main Network Page
-----------------------------------------------------

This is just the main entry page to the site with a nice domain name, ensuring everyone knows all about the forums and other sites.

http://www.ww2mail.com Hivemail based webmail site------------------------------------------------------------

Straight forward Hivelmail site offering webmail to ww2 fanatics, had some problems at the start but everything is fine and the service can be used.

Hivemail unsupported license until 20th May 2005

http://www.ww2directory.com Toplist site for other ww2 sites
---------------------------------------------------------------

Toplist site, again for advertsing all of my ww2 sites and for others to list theirs as well.

Software included.

http://www.theholocaust.co.uk Forum related to the holoucaust ---------------------------------------------------------------

Holocaust site with nice design, opened for general posting a few weeks ago, not many posts but early days yet.

Invision board used, templates all included.


http://www.ww2site.com Free Hosting for ww2 related sites
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Small free hosting site with an excellent world War 2 domain name, offers small hosting account for free.

Template included, 4 hosting accounts at the moment with 3 active.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Partly Developed:

The following sites are in progress and sites are available to view if you click the links, for the most part I have done the basic template on these sites, content still has to be added.

http://www.ww2medals.com
http://www.ww2weapons.com
http://www.ww2naval.com
http://www.ww2vehicles.com
http://www.ww2radio.co.uk (station is live and you can listen at live365.com)

------------------------------------------------------

Additional domain names are:

Worldwar2forums.com
ww2network.org
ww2network.info
ww2network.ws
ww2search.com

All registered until at least March 2005 @ Godaddy

----------------------------------------------------

I will only consider selling in this way:

1. Forum on its own
2. Forum plus all other sites


Sorry for the long post but wanted to make it clear what was on offer, I have no fixed price I am looking for so please make your offers here.

The network is still developing and for that reason I wont sell for any low ball amount, given the steady but upwards growth the network is attracting.

If I have missed anything please let me know and ask away on anything your not clear on.

In any event a purchase will include all templates, psd files, banners, licences, domain transfers, and anything else required to operate the site.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this post! :-D

Regards

Lee

What is your asking price ?

 

[Wise]

Dont have one at the moment, at this stage I am inviting offers and will decide on the basis of them. I was offered very low $x,xxx about two months ago if that helps.

Whoever gets these domains will have some work to do, but there is tremendous potential in taking what you have already started to another level. Fantastic niche idea!

Best wishes for your sales effort.

Thanks Bigtrend, It is niche but also a subject of which I know a great deal, so the continued development for me is not difficult, I can fill those undeveloped sites with plenty of content, new skins for the forum site and so on.

Its just that old chestnut called "time"........

I suppose you dont really need a huge knowledge of WW2, its already happened and you cant change history, so the medals, naval sites etc, can be done with a bit of research.

Part of me hopes for a good price but on the other hand if I dont I will still be happy for trying and press on with the development.

Sale withdrawn.

Some time ago I applied localy to get a grant to develop the sites, well it came through today and I can pay someone to do a very professional design for the site.
