The auction relisting aims to increase exposure and attract more bidders for a teen social networking site. Previously listed on an online marketplace, the highest offer was $12,500, with a buy-it-now price of $16,000. The site, active since early October, has over 4,400 members and is intended for community-building enthusiasts. Due to the owner’s inability to maintain it, the decision has been made to sell. The asking price considers expenses, brandability, marketability, and potential. Investments include a phpFox license, domain, design, modifications, advertising, and referrals, totaling a substantial amount. The package includes cPanel login details, the domain, a custom privacy policy, and a phpFox lifetime license.
Serious buyers can request traffic stats through private messaging. The owner has a positive selling history on various platforms. Although monetization attempts were minimal, advertising efforts included MySpace bulletin promotions, referral offers, a banner spot purchase, offline promotions, and leveraging phpFox client features. This resulted in significant user engagement, with members actively using the invitation system to grow the network. The auction process invites only genuinely interested parties to maintain focus on potential purchases rather than casual inquiries.
