The Monk Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 This website was established in 2010 and I purchased it from the original owners in September of 2012. At the time of purchase I was employed part time roughly 20 hours per week so I was able to be very active in the game, increasing sales and active player totals. Since receiving a 2 year contract working between 40-50 hours a week I do not have the time or motivation to play, administer or alter the game in anyway. It was built off a MCCodes engine in 2010 but now only has very few MCCodes default features. It does not run CRON's for anything under 24 hours like some text based MMORPG's which reduces server load substantially. The game has good content but VERY poor graphics. Purchasing or designing your own new theme for this game could improve sales and activity instantly. The other downside is the game is for 18 year olds and over, cutting down on explicit language usage and pornographic images in profiles could reduce this down to 15 years and older. http://sincityhustler.com/payments.xlsx shows all incoming and outgoing payments on Paypal. The hosting cost is $50 per month however I have recently found some hosts offering the same service for $30'ish per month. You can message me on here or via email on [email protected] I can accept payment on paypal or bank transfer to an australian account.

But i'm going to estimate the price on this. Which is "700$-1,300$" if I hit the spot please send me a pm how long you would be having this for sale.

MNG Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Here is how I figure out a calculation on buying a site in general. You take the last 6 months, as we need a monthly average, so: 029.78 - Mar 063.06 - Feb 030.68 - Jan 309.04 - Dec 064.82 - Nov 213.57 - Oct So that's $710.95 for the last 6 months, so anything between 710 to 1420 (6months to 12months profits) would be right. Curious if MNG works it out the same, or just got the same numbers from the top of his head? Pretty good calculation you did their. I just went off the year of the game was released and the user base. But since you implied it would make at least 710$ for 6-12 months. The game probably should be let go for at least 2,000 due to it's active and addicted members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm looking for around $1,000. The two largest months were during Christmas and a huge war between one player and a few mobs. I think with reasonable hours the game could currently earn $1,000 in one year. Like I said though, with improved graphics I think new players would be more enticed to stay and spend money to increase their stats and level.

Dave Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Like Guest said I'd also highly suggest selling through something like www.flippa.com Interesting how you calculate the sites worth, considering most of it's profit was generated through some form of donation scheme (I'm guessing here) that means people could of bought yearly packages, so they wont be spending those larger amounts for a while. Also have to factor in updates for the site or the players will get bored and leave. Also when games change hands players tend to get pissed of with the new owners ideas to improve the game. Good luck in the sale anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Flippa unfortunately doesn't allow adult content to be sold, I dont really want to ruin the games niche appeal just to sell it. I'll have a look at sitepoint :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
