    CANNABIS.COM Domain Name Pkg - 7,500 Visitors PER DAY! Auction Details Inside...

    CANNABIS.COM grosses approx avg $7K to $10K approx avg per month...

    Most of that revenue is from high-margin ad services - easily equivalent to $20+K of physical product; margins are very good with CANNABIS.COM

    Sale includes numerous common misspellings and related variations - domains only. Average number of visitors per day throughout cannabis.com is approx 7,500; type-in / direct to just the homepage alone averages over 4,200 per day!

    Non-binding offers / bids may still be made informerly via PM at DNForum and/or email me at [email protected] (same as whois) and/or [email protected]

    However, for folks seeking to bid in a more formal manner on the CANNABIS.COM domain package, please visit Ebay and/or Afternic...

    Advantages of submitting a formal bid is one greatly improves their chance of getting a great domain at a great price, and also allows one to test the waters by submitting a bid at the minimal level with minimal chance of me accepting it, since it's less than reserve; way of seeing if there other serious prospective buyers.

    Ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/CANNABIS-COM-Dom...QQcmdZViewItem

    (if link doesn't work, then search for cannabis.com in listings)

    Again, to be clear, formal bidding is not required (well unless reserve is met at an auction above) - as of now, non-binding offers / bids are also acceptable.

    Finally, as I've often found in prior sales, many potential buyers tend to wait until they see others making offers before doing so themselves - that's understandable, but has cause some potential buyers to lose out; some buyers who have followed through quickly with me in the past racked up sizeable gains before the Whois had even been updated because other parties came forward offering more - this has happened numerous times, on 4, 5, and even 6-figure+ deals.

          There has been much interest in this package - for clarification, this sale includes the following internet domain names:

          CANNABIS.COM

          CANN.COM

          Plus the following typos / variations:

          canabis.com
          cannibus.com
          cannibis.com
          cannibas.com
          cannnabis.com
          canncom.com
          cannabiscom.com

          The Ebay auction details has been updated slightly to clarify exactly what is for sale, and the minimum bid and reserve slightly raised - yes, raised.

          Ebay:

          http://cgi.ebay.com/CANNABIS-COM-Dom...QQcmdZViewItem

          (if link doesn't work, then search for cannabis.com in listings)

          Offers / bids may also be submitted via PM here and/or email to [email protected] / [email protected] - however, bidding formerly improves one chance of getting a great package at a great price.

          Folks waiting for me to give this package away will be disappointed - CANNABIS.COM is a great asset. While I'd like to sell it to focus on other things, I'm going to hang on to it until I get a reasonable offer; if that means listing again a few times so be it - many folks have expressed interest, and feel 7-figures is reasonable, but they just don't have access to that type of money ... however, some here do - this is a great package!

          Buy it now price is $1,600,000 USD (subject to change prior to final sale) ...OR... place a bid - minimum $800,000 USD - reserve isn't much higher at little over a million.

          Ron

          p.s. for folks / investors with large gains this year, buying this domain could potentially be around 50% OFF of the final price when adjusted for taxes.

              4200 type-ins a day? I highly doubt it.

              That said, I wish you luck with the name and the sale.

                    wow, it only makes 10k a month, shit I posted one of my sites for sale that is making 10k to 25k a month every month, I posted it yesterday for sale here and I am in the process of selling it to a member who offered me 50k for it. It is hard for me to understand why a site that makes 10k a month would go for so so so much??

                    I still have not finalized my sale, but pretty dam close, even if I would have not found a buyer at 50k I would have taken even less, but I can not think that a site that makes only 10k a month would go for close to a million dollars or more, i dunno, just seems a little wierd.

                      the site alone isn't why it's worth a lot. . . domain is priceless
                      even so , i think it's a little on the steep side considering cannabis being illegal in the US and all

                          You're selling a site for 2-5 months revenue? Why?

                          Shit, send me the link to the sale thread.

                            It's ~4,200 type-in / direct entry to homepage per day ... not all ~4,200 are type-in; ~4,200 visitors come directly to the cannabis.com homepage per day.

                            Approx 7,500+ visitors per day overall come to CANNABIS.COM

                            Relying on Overture alone can lead one to lose out on many great domains - for some reason, definitely not related to our traffic since that's way up, Overture's numbers for cannabis.com with extension fluctuate wildly - it's been in the thousands, it's been no score some months, and lately just very low; Overture along with its partners filters out / doesn't count various searches.

                            For folks seeking some independent traffic data, check out Alexa - it leaves much to be desired, but seems to be more in the ballpark than Overture for cannabis.com.

                            All serious offers will be considered - DomBuyer and/or anyone else interested, feel free to make an offer by contacting me via email:

                            [email protected] and/or [email protected]

                              And thinking domains like cannabis.com are worth a million bucks can lead to you having the name for a very long time.

                                Good point ... and thus the minimum bid greatly reduced to $125,000 USD to get some bids.

                                Some experienced Ebay sellers suggested this change - everyone likes a bargain - the lower bid level of $125,000 USD gives many more folks a compelling incentive to bid and participate.

                                  First, there is now a bonafide bid - the auction is now running!

                                  Some comments to what some folks have asked / thinking...

                                  A perspective buyer should consider that gross revenue could likely be greatly increased a couple of fold - a buyer with a staff / marketing dept could easily do much more straight away than I've done alone; cannabis.com is a one person operation.

                                  A time horizon of 2-3 years may be fine for a domain that gets most of its traffic from PPC listings on search engines, etc. Cannabis.com is a quality type-in domain ... about ~5+ years is more in the ballpark of the time horizon a buyer should be using when valuing it.

                                  Ultimately, an asset is worth what some else is willing to pay ... asking $1+ million may be unrealistic.

                                  However, based on feedback I've received and some informal offers in the past, $500,000 USD is very realistic...

                                  I'll seriously consider all bonafide offers over $500,000 USD... though $650,000 USD is really about as low as I can realistically go, but to reiterate, I'll consider all bonafide offers over $500,000 USD.

                                  A motivated buyer could get a great deal... for a buyer ready to deal today...

                                  $750,000 USD for CANNABIS.COM / CANN.COM (alone is a decent 5-figure domain) and the various typo versions, plus also a U.S. registered trademark; it has proven helpful in the past to help protect the CANNABIS.COM brand.

                                  +$50,000 USD (optional) for the content, including some of which is exclusive - plus assistance in transitioning the site over - that alone may be worthwhile to better ensure the transition is a smooth one to help maintain current visitor and advertising levels.

                                  Ron

                                  p.s. for folks considering bidding at Ebay - if and when bidding gets close to the mid 6-figure level, I'll lower the reserve to meet next bid - the winning bidder could end up with an awesome deal, since many buyers don't bid at Ebay.

                                  p.p.s. offers may also be submitted via PM to me at DNForum / email at [email protected]

                                    For buyers who use Overture counts as a criteria, below are latest counts for August ... the numbers really fluctuate; personally I feel one shouldn't rely on Overture counts too much ... but notwithstanding, here are the August counts with extension :

                                    CANNABIS.COM: 473

                                    CANN.COM: 26

                                    Plus the following typos / variations:

                                    canabis.com: 95
                                    cannibus.com: 156
                                    cannibis.com: 74
                                    cannibas.com: 87
                                    cannnabis.com: 0
                                    canncom.com: 0
                                    cannabiscom.com: 0

                                    Combined August Overture score with extension is 911

                                      funny. you not think what that domain can violate copyrights?
                                      because I think what some company hold trademark for that drug.

                                            Much of the content is available to the buyer only at relatively nominal cost - willing to negotiate that point with a serious buyer... so far I only see one bid...

                                            Reserve is much higher than the current bid of $125K ... the domain package is worth much more than that.

                                            Feel free to bid - still about 30 mins.

                                              The auction ended today with top bid of $125,000 USD - reserve not met, domain package is still available for sale.

                                              It's been an interesting experience to say the least - seems bizarre to me that I've sold numerous other domains with a fraction of the traffic and less revenue for more ...

                                              Appears it's a situation where in which the timing just wasn't right to sell the CANNABIS.COM package...

                                              With that said, I'm open to offers as always... and to clear up some uncertainty which may have dissuaded some buyers - YES, much of the content on the domain, including the main pages, message board, gallery, etc included (to be priced separately for legal purposes in any agreement of sale; content is owned by my other company) for buyer seeking to continue CANNABIS.COM as is to start with.

                                              In a nutshell, to be perfectly clear...

                                              Offers of $1,000,000 USD and more considered for CANNABIS.COM package including much of the related content...

                                              And my personal assistance in transitioning over, plus doing a few other things to help make the purchase even more worthwhile.

                                              If seriously interested, PM me at DNForum and/or email me at [email protected] / [email protected]

                                              Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest - feel free to stay in touch.

                                                Addendum:

                                                Some folks say they just heard about it - were confused about the sale ... thus it's back on Ebay again - more and better!

                                                Relisted - but with some important changes / clarifications - the buyer also gets much of the content, as I explained in my post above ... see the revised and improved CANNABIS.COM package auction below for details:

                                                  Once weed is legal in the US.. then maybe the investment could be recouped in buying this.

                                                      Exactly WME - to put it another way, the gross is about $100K USD per year.

                                                      The payback time seems very long, but one must keep in mind that the domain has decent type-in traffic and more to the point, a buyer with sufficient resources (web designers, marketing staff, etc) could likely easily grow revenues rapidly, greatly reducing the payback period.

                                                          I've received several 6-figure offers directly for the CANNABIS.COM package...

                                                          In particular, three people / companies have expressed serious interest to buy now at or slightly above the $250,000 USD minimum bid price; most are using a 3 to 5 year time horizon based on current revenue data...

                                                          However, many prospective buyers are overlooking some important points that make CANNABIS.COM truly worth much more:

                                                          1. CANNABIS.COM has minimal competition; relatively few large cannabis related sites exist.

                                                          2. CANNABIS.COM continues to become more popular; visitor traffic, links to, brand recognition.

                                                          3. There is much room for revenue growth; 5x + easily possible by a company / investor group with resources beyond what I have.

                                                          4. The highest bonafide offer I received for CANNABIS.COM last year was well under $100K, this year the highest bonafide offer has skyrocketed to nearly $300K ... so even if, hypothetically, visitor traffic, revenue, etc don't grow, the value of the assets likely will continue to grow rapidly much like physical real estate, etc... an important point to consider when valuing the CANNABIS.COM package.

                                                          http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5810099658

                                                          Feel free to bid (at least one bid would certainly make things interesting!) and/or email your offer to [email protected] / [email protected]

                                                              Only about 10 hours remaining for the CANNABIS.COM package on auction ...

                                                              While it's most likely such a sale will occur outside Ebay eventually, one of various incentives to bidding is that one could potentially own the CANNABIS.COM package now for less ...

                                                              I'll consider all Ebay bids above mid-6 figures; may reduce reserve somewhat if I see some more bids.

                                                                I've received within the past few weeks, 5 separate bonafide offers directly (plus two others via Ebay when it was listed there) over $100K with 3 of the offers in the $250K - $300K range and just today received a bonafide offer of nearly $500K USD.

                                                                The offers are getting closer and closer to what I'd consider letting the CANNABIS.COM package go for...

                                                                I'd like to get a million, but I'll consider letting it go for $875K USD to a buyer ready to deal immediately.

                                                                      Nysus- many big-budget buyers refrain from buying domains via ebay; it was a way of gauging interest - I actually got some real 6-figure bids there (something many ebay sellers would dream for), which further illustrates the cannabis.com has much value - I'm prepared to let the cannabis.com package go for very high 6-figures for a limited time - this sale is for real ...

                                                                      Current ask price, for a buyer ready to deal now, is $975K USD (traffic is rapidly growing - much growth potential!) ... for some high-budget folks that could be the equivalent of spending only around 500K or so after adjusting for taxes - makes a great deal even better!

                                                                          http://www.domagon.com/forsale/showl...l?cannabis.com

                                                                          PM me (domagon) at DNForum or NamePros and/or email me at [email protected] and/or [email protected] (same as whois).

                                                                                        The offer and gross are real numbers. I'll acknowledge that I certainly over-exposed this listing ... live and learn LOL!

                                                                                        $525K BIN

                                                                                        Speaking of value...

                                                                                        I sold a generic domain that had good PPC keyword value with around 300 to 500 uniques per day, but grossed virtually nil for $120K about a year ago.

                                                                                        And about two years ago sold an adult oriented domain for a tad over $100K that received about 500 uniques per day grossing around $1000 per month.

                                                                                        CANNABIS.COM gets 8,000 uniques per day, with average gross of over $7,000 (solid number, and can document) per month.

                                                                                        Roughly 16 TIMES the traffic and significantly more revenue of the other two domains I sold for over $100K each ... point is that $525K is a very reasonable price / valuation.

                                                                                        Welcome serious offers.

                                                                                              If I can find some non-cannabis related advertisers / revenue streams, that would make all the difference...

                                                                                                Perhaps that good in the sense that from what I've read and been told off-board is that participating in gambling affiliate programs is risky, though not necessarily illegal, for U.S. based companies...

                                                                                                I notice High Times and other related publications / websites have few, if any, gambling related advertising.

                                                                                                If the payoff was substantial ($5K+ per month min) and could be guaranteed, I'd be inclined to consider giving it another go.
