Not totally sure what you have in mind, Opti, but hey, that's cool. Let's gab and see what's what, mate. I'm always open to any and all ideas on a wide range of areas: buying, selling, joint ventures, strategic partnerships ...

Good luck with the sale Brad. I know you have put alot of work into Sleeks

The right buyer could do wonders with the great base Brad has setup here.

The only Kevin I know is overseas right now with my favorite tech geek chick.
FYI - I see "kevinmitnick.com" is getting released from the root servers tomorrow... any idea, if it was a let go or if it was lost?

Hi Kev

Thanks Erik! Why the fuck didnt you come and buy it then??

Dravyk.. email on way ... sooonish ;-)





Quick update:

Here is possibilities for the future so far..


2 x E-Mail marketing systems.

* 1 is a small operation that incudes hardware/software he uses to send around 100k messages per day and comes with the email list of about 700k names. I'm told it's 90% deliverable, can-spam compliant and generates almost no complaints.

* 2 is hardware and software only. It's about $30k replacement value in hardware plus the owners custom software.

* A small AVS system that has been very succesful, with provable income between 5-10k/mth, but has lost it's billing solution.

* A whole bunch of paysites... a few that looked intersting in tight niches where the owners are sick of producing custom content for not enough income.

* A well known TGP..... for really big dollars with plenty of documentation to back it up

* 1 or 2 LL sites of better quality than Sleeks, that was for sale above. And possible a few cheaper ones.




What do people think?

What sort of information would I need to provide for an item above that might appeal to you?

How much time do people need to research a deal if they know there is a monthly auction for example? 1 week prior?

Is an unbiased opinion from someone who has had a chance to really look under the hood more valuable then straight income stats that may or may not be fudged? And what level/type of proof would satisfy most people?
(like if I could concince Nick to assess the email systems and put his name to an opinion for example) ;-)

IMHO:

- Traffic stats. If possible, both server-based and counter-based. (Server-based can be fudged, but if they are true they are most accurate. Counter stats are always short, but anyone experienced has a good idea of the percentage they are off by in order to verify the first.)

- How much of existing traffic is dependant upon other existing sites and will likely be turned away after purchase. (A lot of "amateurs" forget this baby! hehe)

- Current and historical monthly income of site.

- If site has potential and has been neglected or not worked to it's fullest, an accurate as possible estimate of what it could make at it's full potential (and something on which to base that estimate upon).

- Three days minimum to a week is enough time for someone to consider how a piece might fit into their own personal picture puzzle.
