enough to buy a good bunch of exclusive sets nowadays, even taking CC processing costs and hosting. And that's only a month, with a 70% recurring which is the least you'll do with exclusive content, you've 5250 bucks in your account PLUS new signups. I think whoever fits this description and is willing to sell will ask for some interesting money, with just the 250 CURRENT members, no less than 80-100k. Simply taking in mind {content + members(- recurring ratio loss + new signups ratio x 6 months) + proven tested design + SE positioning + branding + mail base + (variables not mentioned) + profit} I just get to that figure, being very discreet. Far from a few grands, huh?
I'd be more than a little surprised to see a 250 member site go for $80K+ around here.
