100 great buys :xmas-smil

But no way in hell would I take 1.6 :)

I would take minimum 3 years profits I think... but I enjoy what I do so It would be hard to get from me at even that price

Understood

I am actually learning something new from a gfy thread. It is a miracle.

um... no. :)

:1orglaugh

OK, that was wierd...

2nd one this week.....must be something to do with the holidays.

Don't worry, we'll be back to "would you hit it" shortly after the new year.

Ahhhhhhmazing isnt it ...........what will they think of next :laughing-

Have in mind that these purchases often can be risky. You'll better guarantee the other part will stay away from the adult business or figure a way. Affiliate programs generate most of their revenues from their top 10-20 affiliates. Someone with the experience can clone the program he already sold and get the top affiliates to the new one.

I'd rather have my Lawyer take care of the filling in. :)

Of course

I was only talking about the part where I put my name and lastname bud :xmas-smil

Marty,


There are some hidden landmines in buying programs..i bought one and inherited some nice visa fines eventually from them...

Keep them coming, that is the reason i joined this board.


I would be lying if i told you that i can join in on this conversation, but i am reading my ass off.


Hopefully we do not return to "hit it" threads.

That's not good....

I appreciate what you are saying though.

great point.................

Quiet was bitching a while ago about not being able to sell for more then 6 months income. Not sure if he was serious.

PS baddog, I don't have millions but if you have a site for sale Iam looking. icq 166708909 shoot me a ball park number and I will see if i am in range. I won't waste either of our times if not possible.

That's what I was referring to when I mentioned the old owner keeping his own rebills and chargebacks and the new owner setting up new processing accounts.

Of course now that you have to register urls with VISA I'm not sure you can do it that way.

I know of a program selling for 750 k (its not what i am looking for but if you are interested i will ask him to get you details.)

Is 750k in your ballpark?

But you cant really keep the rebills. Because after a few months your account will be frozen because your CB ratios will be out the roof. The only thing that keeps them low is the fact that you continue to get new transactions daily. Soon as you stop the CB's climb.. Big time.

I think the rebills have to go with the sites

Judging by your sig it is something right up your alley. Will ICQ you now.

Great point Mike.

btw..." you got mail "

Good point :food-smil

I will entertain offers starting at $1,250,000 +

email me a confidentiality agreement if you would like so i can make you confortable enough to show me your numbers.

That would work for some sites.

We get 1-2 chargebacks a month, we simply never get them.
In fact, Rand told me we were one of the lowest in Paycom :banana
That was about 1-2 years back, though we still never get them.

I know someone that has a program for sale will hit you up :weihnacht

Marty, don't know you personally, but i certainly know of your stature and I trust your judgement to make a solid purchase. I think that kind of move to consolidate the industry is not only wise but also a sign of the industry maturing.

Marty,

I will hit you up tomorrow, it's getting late.

We are in the "shakedown" period of this industry...the sifter effect will be in effect.

got it and mailed ya back :censored

ok hit me up tommorrow.

How are ya Far-L? Looking forward to seing you guys in Vegas as usual :)

And yes, I'm kinda hoping to see a bit of shakedown myself :)

Any Predictions for 2005 ?

I see this:

iBill not paying! ( joke I hope )

Reality Sites slowing down due to saturation

PPS slowing down due to stricter Visa regs. & increased fraud

RevShare on the rebound

Original Exclusive/Niche sites prospering.



My 2 cents. :sleep

Yea, I would agree with most of those for sure

mailed you back...lets try and talk tommorrow.

No, it is not. See quick honest answers.

Likewise, mate!

Things are going amazingly well these days. Biz is great, getting crazy mainstream publicity, new programs to premiere, and as you know from being a brother in arms we are whipping Acacia silly.

I have to say that I have not looked so forward to a show in years.

oh yeah... we are up for 4 avn awards so I am working on my drunken rambling acceptance speech.

hahahha, I love it!

Far-L,

I will keep an eye out for you at the show, have some
questions regarding DVD sales in the mainstream adult world.

Nice, thats awesome man.. I got some DVD production stuff to talk to you about. Hope you clean up all 4 of those awards :)

Yea, the Acacia thing is going well. Well why shouldnt it.. We are in the right :)



I'm outa here guys... TTYALLLATER





MartyVP.. I'll get witha ya tomorrow

Goodnit Mike

Obviously the deal has to be right in order for me to make the purchase right?

Or should I try and purchase one to prove to you that I was serious?

Look forward to it. If you want answers sooner please email me timlake at homegrownvideo dot com and I will be happy to give you some feedback.

I look forward to it.

If you are not getting chargebacks you are not trying hard enough..

Maybe scrubbing way too hard.

if you keep members so long, where is the pps program

1.6 EBITA is a number I would think would only get action from those already wanting to sell. That multiple won't interest any successful, happy owners.

1.6 times EBITDA is just too low IMO...
