The text discusses the sale of a domain, emphasizing that the domain itself is the main offering, with an outdated website included as a complimentary addition. The current owners acquired the domain from a notable individual known for acquiring well-known domains but shifted their focus to other business ventures, leading them to neglect the dating website associated with the domain. Consequently, they decided to sell the domain, recognizing its premium value in the dating sector. The site, having been built around 2005, amassed approximately 10,000 members before priorities shifted to more profitable projects.
Potential buyers are informed that while they can acquire the site and its member list, offers should focus on the domain itself, as there are no guarantees the site will function properly due to its age. The owners express a lack of intention to pursue further business endeavors related to the domain and signal openness to including another domain, potentially, if the primary one achieves a satisfactory price.
The text also notes that there has been no recent revenue from the site as it has been largely unmanaged. Traffic details show varying hits, mainly from the USA, with monthly figures between 17,000 and 19,000, and 21,301 hits recorded in September. Google Analytics was added in early November, providing limited data coverage.
