[ferrarislave]

I will make this short, if you would like more info; shoot me an email (support @at@ exotixboard.com). Please note that while I’m looking to sell the site; I'm in no hurry. The reason for the sale is that I’m moving on with other projects. I also no longer have the time to run or update the site. I started the site in early 2005 and up until this point it have been the sole admin of it. The member base is now close to 3,000 members, many of those which are regular posters. The income - I've never looked at this site as a business, but more so as a hobby. I’ve never really made an effort to promote it to an extent where much money could be drawn from it. The site does occasionally have a few detailer sponsors during the spring and summer months. I've also ran adsense/ypn on the site for a few weeks to test last year and the average was around $5-15 a day. The value of this site lies in the community, content, and recognition, not the revenue it currently generates.

My price is around $15,000 USD, please make note that is not a finial buy it now price (had confusion with that here before). That price reflects a ball park figure. I may consider offers lower and of course higher then that. So please do not hesitate to make an offer (no low balls please – don’t waste your time or mine).

I'm looking for a person or company that is willing to take this site to the next level. The site means a lot to me and I wouldn't want to see it go to waste with tons of ads, or spam. The site has a strong community built around it with many enthusiasts and I’d like someone to keep building on that idea.

The site currently runs Vbulletin 3.6.8 with a custom skin that I created in 2006. All configuration information can be given in detail via email (see above) if requested.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks abstracthost. Like I said i'm not in a rush, I'm just getting it out there right now. Everything is negotiable.

The value of forums are in their community, most forums of advertising do not work on forums, unless it's membership or direct. Glad to see someone understands that...

Looking for offers, don't be shy now

[ferrarislave]

Please send your offers, i'm interestead...

[abstracthost]

I see premiumhost deleted his post, or someone did, regardless I got a nice little pm from him saying that because I also have a forum any statements I make carry no credibility and is a conflict of interest...

Anyway back on topic. I posted your for sale thread over at a private community of board admins.

Thanks abstracthost. It's really tough selling things these days on forums. For every 1 interestested person there're 30 uninterestead haters that come in and give you reasons why it's not worth it and how much they'd pay for it.

Also, please note thats not my final price. I'm looking for offers, but have not yet gotten any.
