You tightasses crack me up. The design and work that went into putting together the resource listings is worth probably a thousand or fifteen hundred. No, it doesn't have much intrinsic value because the traffic is low.

However, anyone running a company that has employees knows that large or small it still takes alot of hours to put a project like that together. 20? 30? 50? I don't know how many hours because I only spent 2 minutes surfing it. But, just with simple math if you figure you have a low end employee at $20/hour and it takes him 50 hours... you're at $1000. And, if you think you can get someone for $20 an hour that doesn't need supervision and constant direction, you're wrong there too.

SO, if you ask me, it's not a terrible deal at $1500. The value is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't make any money online then you can spend 100 hours making a site and that would still sound better then spending $1500. When you're making $100k+ per year the idea of spending a week or more building something... sucks. Let's just say paying someone is more appealing then the mundane work of doing it yourself.

Let's not shoot this guy in the foot - it's obviously worth $1500 to the right person. Saying it's only worth $400 is a fucking joke. The other comment about 100 webmaster uniques per day not being worth anything - that's rediculous. The site's worth a grand without any traffic. Certainly 100 per day is a start. That's 3000 per month, almost 40,000 per year. Consider that at most there are five thousand (maybe ten thousand) productive webmasters.

Do I like the domain name? No. I hate hyphens

Cheers! Happy 4th to everyone

Brad

P.S. - Good luck man!
