Unless it has some solid traffic it is worth very little to nothing. A google on " web site sales " or similar should land you a few options to look at. Dont waste your time on any automated sites that require you to type in the domain and they give you an instant " price " of what its worth as they are simply just full of shit.

In all honesty ebaying it might be a better option. I had a well used domain name for sale with namegiant and didnt even get a single offer in 3 years.

It looks great homer , you ( or whoever did the design ) have done a good job with it. Some things probably not in its favor are that it is a specialist site , ie , you are specialising in a certain thing ( dodge ) in a certain area ( australia ) and therefore it limits its appeal to Australians only. Forum stats can also look more impressive than they are because members/guests/bots visit multiple pages on most visits.
Owned or leased vbulletin licence and any other applicable software licences should also come in to it. Do they come with it , also what is its hosting status costs ?

Anyone else have any idea ? Homer , do you have any rough ideas yourself of what its worth ?

yeah I designed it all myself..alot of hours went into it.

I got no idea what it is worth...but yeah, I made it for Aussie Dodge Owners...the Dodge Market here is very small, it is prob at 20% of the USA market but it continues to grow every month..Dodge dont do us any favours, the havnt bought anything exciting out since the Nitro (my car) so they need to get their butt into gear.

If I dont sell it ill prob close it...but yeah all vbulletin licences come with it.

It makes it hard with the current US car industry in such a shambles for companies to bring out anything new and exciting...there is some torrid times ahead for US car makers

Does the site make any money ? I see you have a donation system up so I am presuming that is the only source of income that you have to pay hosting costs ?

I would hate to see so much hard work shut down if it didnt sell , at worse I'll offer you $200 and a promise to keep it online.

Although I think the automated sites are crap , here is a link to some if you want to try them. You really have to read what they are basing the value on....some just seem to take some sort of wild guess while others seem more realistic. The range seems to be between $33 and $13,000
