What methods of payment will you accept? What are the hosting and monthly maintenance type costs that would come with ownership of the sites? How long would it take you to transfer everything over to the new owner? How much time would you be willing to spend explaining how to run everything to the new owner?
Do you have any records or historical data that would show the profitability of the site? Keeping in mind prior earnings will be better than current and future since W$ is extinct like you said. Do you have any reports on site traffic or trades that show the sites actually produce consistent income?
Can discuss some via PM or in thread, thanks for your time.
You have asked many of the same questions I get via PM so I will just answer them in the thread.
As far as purchase price, I don't know exactly what I would be willing to accept, but am open to negotiations. I feel the price I am asking is well below what I could/should be able to sell it for. When you say I am not able to sell it at the current asking price, I have to say I didn't really expect to sell it overnight. For what the site makes, I know that someone who cares to do a little work to maintain the site will eventually buy it and make some extra cash. I am not really in a hurry to sell, I've just grown tired to maintaining it and really doing much at all with it. I play poker 8 hours a day and would much rather spend my time doing that.
Payment could be made however you really want. Stars, FTP, certified check, etc. I'd rather not do a personal check but if you had to do it that way, I would have to wait until it cleared. Hosting and registration vary depending on who you use. You are looking at around 20-30 a month. The site also uses SSL encryption, which adds like 5 a month if you wish to keep that (not necessary). Transfering wouldn't take that long. Maybe a day. Training would take a few hours and I would be available to answer questions after everything has been set up on your computer. I'll do my best to explain everything the first time around so you shouldn't have to come asking me too many questions.
I have every trade ever done on the site and that data would be available to the potential buyer. I do not plan on sending this data to anyone that asks though. I also have site traffic data.
