Some of the amateur sites or reality sites, and I mean a slim some, might do better on average but with the number of daily sales this site is doing I wouldn't expect it.
Also, are the initial sales on trials or are they full monthly?
The next question to address is whether or not the processing can transfer to you and what happens when it does. If the sale would require changing the descriptor that the members see, you can immediately figure you're going to lose a large portion of members when they see the difference in the billing on their cc statements.
And last but not least, does this site have 2257 that will be compliant with the new regulations? If not, I wouldn't consider touching it for 25% of what it makes each month, much less a year, since finding the records and getting them into compliance will cost a fortune.

They have free 1 day trials and full monthly memberships as well. The descriptor wouldn't change its under a DBA name that would be included with the site. Even if the retention goes down they have proven with the Epoch stats that they can retain the 3k members for over 2 years now.
Do you have a link to get information on the new 2257 compliance regulations?
I'd like to check that out, thats about the last thing I haven't checked up on.
