   I will be lowering the BIN price fairly quickly over the next few days. In fact I'll lower it in about three hours. Last year I had people interested in Blogsrater at a higher amount than the current BIN.

   Consider this, last year BlogCatalog sold for $40,000 here at Sitepoint and to this day some people think this was too much. Now, after one year Blogcatalog has passed up MyBlogLog which sold for $10 million last year at about the same time. Was the $40,000 a bad buy? I don't think so. It's not always about income times 12 months or whatever. Heck, if that was the case Youtube would have sold for zero since it was losing money. :-)

   Please only comment if you have a legit question and are interested in buying Blogsrater.

   The script is custom made. I'll check the errors.

   The errors are for ads we had there. We'll have to take those off.

   1) What is your reserve price if any?

   Not sure if I want to reveal that now. People don't usually show the reserve price. It's not that high though. It's closer to the minimum price than to the BIN price. Plus, I'll be lowering both the reserve and BIN price as the auction goes on unless somebody takes the BIN price which is possible.

   2) What is your bandwidth usage?

   So far this year it has been between 2.75 and 3 Gig a month.

   3) Where is the domain hosted? When is it up for renewal? When is the renewal for the domain name?

   It is hosted on my dedicated server along with other sites. You will have to get your own hosting, although as I say below that I can give you time. The domain is registered at Godaddy and is up for renewal in Feb 2009.

   4) Does the buyer get full rights to all scripts?

   I'll have to check with the programmer who made the site to make sure, but I would say yes, more than likely. He made the script custom for this site.

   5) How much space is currently used by the entire website?

   The 2 to 3 GB mentioned above per month and the disk usage this month so far is 1167.73/2000 MB

   6) How will you arrange the transfer of the domain?

   The domain is registered at Godaddy. It takes a few minutes to "push" after payment. I want to use escrow.com for this transaction though. It protects the seller and buyer. But a transaction usually takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

   7) Will you help with after sale setup and so forth?via email or phone?For how long?

   I will help whichever way I can for a couple months by email or phone.

   8) How long do you think it would take to transfer ownership of the domain and hosting?Can I have you transfer it to my own host?

   The domain takes just a few minutes. Hosting will take longer, maybe a couple days. I can't say for sure if I will have it moved for you. I wouldn't do it myself, but I know a couple people who could do it. I can provide free hosting for a couple months until we agree to who will transfer the site and who pays for it.

   9) Is this the only auction you have for this site?

   Yes, the only one currently going on.

   10) Are you paypal verified?

   Yes, but I am using escrow.com for this transaction.

   11) Can you message me the link proof of domain and hosting ownership?

   You can do a whois search at whois.net. With escrow.com your money will be safe. It won't be released if you don't get the site and domain.

   12) How long the site been live and are you the original owner or did you buy it from somebody else?

   Since Feb 2006 and yes, it was my idea and I had a programmer friend make the site.

   13) What gurantee do you offer that you would transfer the site to my host account and it will be functioning properly exactly like before the transfer?

   We'll have to dicuss the transfer. Like I said, I won't be doing the transfer myself, I know people who could do the transfer. But it's a pretty safe thing to do. You make a complete backup of the site before hand and that makes it safe to do a transfer.

   14) Can I take over the specific adword and yahoo marketing accounts if they are separate from other ccounts by you passing UN and password instead of me creating one from scratch?

   I believe it only is using my adsense on it. I can't transfer my account as I use it for all my other sites. I think it's against Google's terms also.

   Your honest detailed response will be appreciated before I can bid

   Thanks for the questions.

   Yes, there are. Here's a couple examples:

   http://www.blogsrater.com/top.php

   http://www.blogsrater.com/blog-review-27.html

   The site at one time had a PR6 with hundreds of PR5 pages. As I said we made the mistake of adding paid text link ads from linkworth and TLAs. Those have been removed.
