unbelieveable, people are so dumb


Check out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=46687

We don't know the URL yet (waiting for his email). But as an exp. Ebay seller, I know 80% this guys is BS. Why? He uses his 100% pos. feedback as a proof? But if you look at it.

Most of 71 of his possitive are as buyers, which meaningless to most of bidders because.... he's seller now, but people don't know that.

Most, if not all, of his selling auctions were private.

Two of most recent transactions as a buyer were worth $10, and $3, duh .

And people willing to pay for $4,300 for an unknown site? ghessssh

It mentions to email him for more details and a URL. Since you havn't gotten a reply yet, it's hardly fair to speculate. I don't think it's an overly large price to ask if it really is making that much a month.

i remember when i was 6, me and the family would goto the flea market, and every time i was really interested in buying this thing they called "a mystery bag", and inside, there would be all sorts of random crap, that i could play with, and have a good time with.

I guess this is just what the people who wanted the site were thinking .

Mentions conversion ratios... photo is of a woman... "Entertainment" category... I'm 99.9% sure this is a porn site.

Anyway, good luck if you decide to bid. I know lots of people who make easily twice that with porn sites. $1500/month isn't hard if you spend 3-4 hours a week on it like he says he does. I think it's fairly legitimate.

Well the visit to the auction was at least worth being able to save that picture.

A nice addition to my collection and archive.

If the profit is true and ongoing then it would be great value.
Knowing if the profits would continue is another matter.
