"How much does it make?" is the ultimate question.

As far as worth goes... I suppose that is going to change a lot from person to person. I would probably pay somewhere in the $250 to $350 range - but you may be able to get quite a bit more than from the "right" buyer.

@Mike- about $200 a mo

@blase40- I guess my next question is where can I find the "right" buyer?

Thanks

If it's making $200 a month I think you should get at least $1200 for it. When it comes down to it though the value of a site is only what a buyer is willing to pay. You could get more, but it could also be less.

Try using this valuation tool Website Valuations and Appraisals, Value a Blog, Domain or other online Business - it's quite accurate as it's based on the prices that similar sites were sold for at Sitepoint.

If it's making 200 a month I wouldn't sell it, I highly doubt someone would pay you a price that is worth trading that monthly income for. Of course if you don't have the time or something like that and if you manage to sell it for 1000+ I would definitely go for it.

Your domain is worth $$$$. And see reasons below:

Your Domain name is typo-generic
Your domain name is short
Your domain name has mindshare; It is easily remembered
The site theme has value and is supperb

considering all effort you have put into it and facilities,
I will give this site to be flipped for $3,000

Where can you sell it: Rush to:
sedo.com
namedrive
sitepoint
afternic

Really? I didn't know all of that? I guess I'll give sitepoint a chance and if that doesn't work, I'll jump to sedo.

Thanks!

Love your blog.

I agree with Hamida. If it's making money in the $xxx range, then over $1000 would be a good price. As stated above, the right buyer would pay quite a bit.

Thanks

@lauraajel- traffic is about 3,500 UV a mo. Compete.com states over 8k UV.

@hamida- thanks for the awesome tool. Gives a good idea. This is what it states;

nichefree.com, First registered on 2008-07-02, Valued on 2008-10-29, Currently valued at USD. 3120

It's just a suggestion I guess.

Anytime!

The best way to find that "right" buyer is to run a "dutch" style auction, where you would set a minimum price- maybe ten thousand.

Keep the max price hidden and see what kind of bids you get from that.

You would want to set a price tower so as no low-baller snipes at the last minute and walks with your site.

Good luck!

Thanks

Good info, Thanks! Where would be the best place to sell; sitepoint, digital point, warrior forum, or ebay?

Some are getting good results with ebay, or you can try the domain auction houses.

A lot more serious money in the domain arena, but the buyers are pro's and will investigate the site thoroughly.

SEDO is good.

If you're looking for a grand or more, forget DP... they'll pay around $200 max ;p Sitepoint is the place to go.

I love the look, it's definitely catchy. If I were a buyer I'd say ummmmm......anywhere between $500-$1000. But I would first like to know the kind of traffic this website is receiving. That would also determine, I would think, how much you'd sell it for.

Based on the two tools provided, one gives an estimate of $2,100 the other gives $3,100.

I guess I can average it out and take it from there?

What do you guys think?

Eric,

I see your point with the buyers. The only downside with ebay is the high fees. I think DP and sitepoint could be good but, I don't know?

I guess I'll have to test and find out.

Try to get at least 12 times the monthly income i.e. $2,400.

Write a really good description and provide screenshots to prove the income and you should get it.

Personally, I would forget about Digitalpoint and eBay.

I would list it on Sitepoint with a $2500 Buy It Now price and a starting bid of say $1000-$1500 and choose what reserve suits you.

I'd say you would definitely get $1500+

Hope that helps

Tony

People will pay you depending on your website stats...
How much traffic & revenue does this website generate a month. What PR rating is it, has all the SEO been done already...

From the looks of it and this is my personal opinion I believe you can honestly sell this website for a minimum of $2500.00. BUT again the better stats of your website the more you can sell it for. Hope this helps you man & best of luck!

You undervalued yourself with a $1400 buy it now price. That site was worth at least $3,000.

Had I seen this post a couple weeks ago when you wrote it, I would have sold it for you to my list of website buyers...

I predict that with a site like that, you can make close to $2000. I would post it on Site Point asap. I am sure the results will be to your liking.

Think it was worth a little more than $1,400 (probably around $2-$2.5k) but as it's your first blog you did well to sell it at all. Take it as a learning experience and use that for the next one

Personally, something I've used is always to price the BIN (if one is included early in the auction) to double what I actually want for the site.
