Hello there,

I started a hosting discussion forum, however I haven't got alot of time on my hands to moderate it, so I am looking for a buyer.

The forum hasn't been out long, no more than 2 months, and we have 25 members, yes I know, not alot. I just want someone to buy it and build the community properly because I cannot do it.

We have received more than 1000 uniques this month. I have been offered $40 for it, so I am just wondering if anyone would want to offer anything higher, I am open to offers.

The forum comes with a life-time VBulletin License.

If you are interested please reply here.

Greetings,

Everyone here should be fully aware of you are bidding on. This actually sounds like a great deal just for the vbulletin license however I was the $75 previous bid and this is what I found out:

The seller has no license information or login details for the virtualbulletin, he told me that he bought it from a friend he knew on the internet some time ago for $30 and has not talked to that friend since around that time.

I paid the $75 via paypal and after I discovered this bit of information I asked for a refund and was given the full refund amount.

I just wanted to make this clear as it was surely a huge point for me not buying it.

Moral to my story, ask before you pay but if you forgot to ask hope the seller was gracious enough to provide the refund.

Thanks,

Ryan

Yes, that is correct. If you go to the main page, you can see that we have had more than 35 people on the site at one given time, however they don't join the forum. I will get a screen shot once my host switches my server.
