    Could you please explain this sentence a little more clearly? Thanks. "Presently he is paid 100% of the first $150 in monthly earnings and 50% of any additional earnings."

    The blogger receives the first $150 in income each month and then 50% of any amount over that.

    We sold $400 a month in private ad sales for September, October, and November.. i.e. we sold those ads ourselves directly to an advertiser.

    And no, 100% of the first $150 in monthly income goes to the blogger - 50% of any additional income goes to the blogger.

    So for November, for example, income was around $563 - so the blogger would earn 100% of first $150 ($150) and 50% of additional income ($206.50) for a total of $356 - our profit would be $207.

    Hi

    Is there anyway to speak to the current author? I would like to get some reassurances that he won't leave once the sale goes through, and to also understand what his motivations are, and also to understand what changes that might be made e.g. changing layout would cause him to leave?

    Regards

    Streggi

    Hi,

    I will check with him - but I believe he'd be happy to continue blogging with a new owner as long as a similar agreement was in place.

    As far as layout goes, he doesn't care about that :)

    Why did the bid process end? There was still remaining time and the buy it now price was more than $2,500.
