Is there decent value in an almost 7 year old car forum?

I am entertaining the sale of tbirdforum.com, I started this site in early 2000 and its developed on its own naturally since them. There have been many interations of the forum over the almost last 7 years.

the last year of stats can be found here.

The site for sale is http://www.tbirdforum.com

The site doesn't make any revenue as it has been a labor of love for me all this time. Perhaps the new owner would think differently of how to monetize it.

Just this last weekend I spent the time to update it to vbulletin 3.6.4 and then put the vbenhanced portal on it. So I think it has a much better look and feel now.

I'll need to keep a few email address from the site until I can transition them to something else.

So I don't have a value for this entity but I can tell you that I made $3600 a few months ago from some azoogle ads that I emailed the membership on a free hdtv giveaway.

I hate to let this go but I have 75 other sites that I am deciding what to do with so I'm starting someplace.

What could one expect to get for a site like this.....

 

Well, the site is 7 years old and only has :

Members: 2,950
Threads: 2,355
Posts: 7,995

Thats really low numbers for a forum that old. On my forum that is less than a year old that is car related i have 27902 posts.

Your site is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. However leapfish had it listed at 25k

 

• you will get some value if you promote it and get some more members
• optimize the website well , i am sure it could top the search engines
• old is gold so make the most of it
