W3Theory || Peter Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So the game has only been around for 1 year and I notice a lot of players that are like level 600, that seems quite high for just one year playing. I wish you the best of luck on your sale, however, the price seems way to high. None the less, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W3Theory || Peter Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Not trying to discredit you, however, just looking at the game and the current set-up, it will be real hard to gain new players, especially with the way games are going these days. These are some of the reasons why people move to selling their game. On top of that, taking a look at your screenshot and announcements within your game, you only gained 200$ in December when you were running a BOGOF offer, which means your earnings probably came early on in the game. This normally happens with text-based games such as this. So you really have to sit back and ask yourself, "Do you see yourself gaining 2,000$ in profit within the next year?". My answer would be most likely No. If you were to only gain 200$ (before paypal and server fees) during a time you did a special, which tends to be a higher point in your selling days, then you are going to have a harder time hitting that number every month. On top of that, you got to include your expenses for the server and domain which will take in cost. Last point in regards to the revenue, since you just recently ran a BOGOF with some extra benefits you probably won't see any of those players purchasing any new packages for a while. The new owner will most likely either have to wait a little bit before they can start seeing those packages go away and new orders. These are just some of my observations. Then again, it is your game, so you don't have to sell it for anything you don't want. I am just thinking realistically I don't see the value coming out of it down the line.

KyleMassacre Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 $2k? damn, might want to try taking that to flippa I agree. Thanks for wanting to give us first shot at it but you may wanna also consider flippa too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why specifically do you need a VPS to run this? Seems a bit overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnenb Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Nice game OP, I wish you good luck with the sale! But I agree with Peter. I think you should base you price on ~10 times what the last couple of months earnings would have been without a BOGOF offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Am I mistaken with my pricing? From what I understand, websites are usually valued at what they've made over a period of 10 months (or the average of the last three months * 10). I thought this was common practice for buying and selling websites. I don't understand why I'm getting so much flak for a somewhat reasonable price. Are you guys considering what's been thrown in? App - $200 Advertising credit - $200 McCodes license - $100 McCodes modules - $45 30+ active users daily - ??? The recurring costs are: LicensePal Cpanel License: -$14.95 month Ramnode VPS hosting: -$10.20 month (I pay it yearly) Domain: -$13.75 year (including whois protection) I came here instead of Flippa because I thought you guys would find a bit more value in it besides the profit. I thought it was common practice to use a VPS for these games. I don't think shared hosting can keep up with my traffic load. Of course the buyer can always choose the hosting, I recommend VPS hosting, since it's what I use now. I use shared hosting for most of my sites, one of my biggest sites, this month has so far since 13th December got 47k unique visitors, I highly doubt your site has much traffic in comparison, McCodes license goes for around $40 second hand.

dnenb Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I came here instead of Flippa because I thought you guys would find a bit more value in it besides the profit. That's the point, I think. Most game owners here can program and therefore setup mccode, implement mods and code their own. So those parts aren't worth much. It's the userbase and their willingness to donate that would be worth something to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky3809 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 for being vps i would have never guessed, on my end the site is extremely slow at loading. it's a reasonable price for someone whom don't code and wants a ready made game. i do agree flippa would be where you should start selling it if your looking for a buyer.

URBANZ Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 ok couple of questions the application is it only on android and if so what kind of app is it Webview or Native and is the source of the app included in the sale price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleMassacre Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 if you hired a developer for it I would have went all out and got a native app. I'm kind of put off by webview apps like those crappy ones that you can do online for free. On the flipside though, I have seen some pretty good webview apps though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flipside though, I have seen some pretty good webview apps though That would cost a lot more. Webview apps are awesome. Lets you keep everything html, css, javascript - whatever you want, as long as it works in modern browsers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

URBANZ Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) ok the thing im saying is a full native app like fully built from Java and android sdk instead of a webview built on the sdk and the rest is pretty much a over rated iframe that just directs to a webpage and tries to act like a native app but it is ok i downloaded the app and it is a webview application and as a quick edit just read your first post you paid $200 for a webview app you must have been smoking something that day seriously it is worth like $10 at most just for the app not $200 Edited January 2, 2014 by urbanmafia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw, there's no rule saying a webview app has to "try to act like a native app". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
