WTB: Mainstream domains w/ or w/o traffic or adult domains w/ traffic

I made a nice $10 name purchase recently of a mainstream domain from a GFY'er and thought I would actively seek out some more and see what you all have to offer (and by mainstream I'm including gambling). Also, I may be interested in adult domains with traffic as well. Here's the guidelines for what I want:

Mainstream domains:

- Registered since at least 2007 or before
- Must be .com or .org or REALLY good in another ext. .net may be okay if it's a gambling domain since .net's fairly accepted for online gambling sites
- Made up of words/terms only OR can be 6 or less letter made up words
- No numbers/hyphens
- Ideally looking for generic domains, i.e. something describing a product, i.e. CreditReport or even FreeCreditReport, not ThisAwesomeCreditReport
- I deal a lot with financial, health, and gambling related names so those are probably the areas I'd prefer most
- Traffic is a bonus (especially with financial or gambling domains) but not necessary
- My price range: Ideally looking for low-mid $xx per name but may pay more if I like the name a lot. Keep in mind I specialize in finding good names that have expired (i.e. paying $7-$8 for decent names) so your names will likely have to be better than what I typically find available

Adult domains with traffic:

- In order of preference: type-in traffic, link traffic, S/E traffic (my intent is to park whatever domains I buy and I've had enough times in the past where S/E traffic goes down a lot if not completely within a couple months or of purchasing)
- I will just come out and say that the deal had better be good if the name itself is not that great of quality. Names that ARE good quality are certainly a bonus and I weigh that in with considering the price on a domain. I'm more willing to spend a decent price on a nice name with moderate mostly type-in traffic or link traffic than a shitty name with a lot of S/E traffic.
- Ideally U.S. or Euro traffic as that tends to pay best
- MUST show whatever stats you're telling me. I can't stress this enough...I don't know what it is but I constantly deal with jokers here that say their name has hundreds of visitors a day, and can't provide ANY proof whatsoever of what they're claiming - maybe at most OLD stats or pointing to Alexa.com as proof, which is a joke.
- The longer period of traffic stats you can show me, the better.
- The more background info you can show me on the traffic (i.e. whatever host data like country origin and what sites/keywords the traffic is from), the better.
- Budget: This varies...I will say that I would be more inclined to base what I pay on your REVENUE if you have the domain parked. If it's a site and you're dying to show me your affiliate revenue, I'd appreciate it but since I'll be parking the domains, basing my price off of it may really depend on the apparent strength of the traffic itself. My overall budget is low $x,xxx but getting me to spend that would take a crazy good deal. I'd probably rather spend low to mid $xxx.

Best way to reach me is email - I would appreciate it vs. posting your names here since GFY's email subscription doesn't seem to work and I don't generally come here more than once or twice a day if that. I don't always have ICQ on either since Vista likes to ramhog a lot and I try to keep as little open as possible to avoid shit stopping working. :/

Also, I generally pay via PayPal Mass Payment (i.e. funds in account, no fees to recipient vs. the usual CC payments people make through PayPal) - if you absolutely need ePass, I'd have to find someone to help me convert beforehand, so up to you. I may request going through escrow depending on who I'm dealing with, in which case I would pay the escrow fees (though if YOU are requesting it in a case where I personally would be fine not doing escrow, we split fees).
