saw it on another forum.

High Offer -> $750K

Recent offers for this domain name from various private parties and domain investors has initiated this post. Its true potential in the right hands is astronomical. Asking price $1.5M USD. Only offers above the current high are to be submitted via thread or PM. No trades or combination cash + domain trades accepted. Payment to be made via wire transfer to Escrow.com with buyer to pay all escrow fees.

Traffic stats -> http://64.41.64.53/sneakers_com.jpg
Currently the #5th most trafficked domain name for sale at Sedo:

Back in January when the site was using affiliate data feeds via CJ, Befree & Linkshare, the domain brought in approx $16K for that month alone for us and over $100K that month for our advertisers such as zappos, footlocker, reebok store and others. It was later moved to Sedo due moving into a new home, and the immense amout of manual work and upkeep required for the site plus selling shoes on the side made no time for anything. It was simply way too much work for one person alone. I will look into hiring offshore programmers for automation, database design, and a complete site overhaul to get Sneakers.com back up and running once again without all the time it took previously when I have more free time in a couple weeks. Once the site is back up and running, it will no longer be for sale. This sale will include an e-mail database of approx 60K opt-in subscribers collected over the years from Sneakers.com.

thought if anyone would be interested in a long time return investment. its on dnforum.

the guy doesnt seem like the brightest, should just hire a couple local smart people to run it, yet he's cheap and already thinking "offshore" to save that whole 3k a month.
