Industry rids itself of another terrible short sighted uneducated businessman ;)
 

I'm always amazed at how many bad business people there are in this industry. Dealing with some of our industry folk is worse than dealing with infants. Anyhow today we had one leave the biz. Crysty the former owner of Ah-me.

The two biggest buyers (Pierre and Myself) in the free site market contacted him to purchase his site. I tell him to not sell without contacting me first and I'll match any offer. Pierre obviously had his own conversation where he expressed his interest. Then out of the blue bam site is sold for $37,000 lol. I was willing to pay more and he never contacted me after he said he would. I found out the site was sold from Pierre. So playing dumb i email Crysty and he says it looks like he may do a deal at 37k. So I reply that i'll pay $38k and up to 40k. He then replies the same thing he did to pierre an hour earlier "a minute too late ,ah-me.com has been sold to Wildcash.com." LOL A minute too late? It's been sold for over an hour and he just told me it wasn't.

Anyhow Crysty you are a bad liar and an even worse businessman. Enjoy your new life.

Congrats to the Winners!!!

everyone is buying sites as of latly. maybe he wasnt sure of the sale and didnt want to lose your hopes.

You could always buy my site.. or sites..

Not bad for 37k..better luck next time

Sure email me at shap at twistys dot com and let's talk. :thumbsup

i'll sell for $37K :)

I knew it would sell for more than EpicCash was worth.

I'm not familiar at all with the revenue of a general (not niche) site like that but $37k seems very low for a site of that size/age

Shap...don't even go there ;-)

We made a deal, while we discuss how to transfer the money and how to setup the protocol to move the owership (I normally don't use epass that much, so I had to find out how add the funds to my account).
He sends me an icq while we're still discussing the transfer: Sorry bud, the site has just been sold, they paid me already...

And then he tells me that I shouldn't be bothered to much over this inconvenient situation...

Now I go fuck myself....sideways...
for being such a prick that I don't understand his situation..

if you're serious, you have my icq. contact me.

That right there is the reason you are where you are and he is selling his last few years of work for $37k. :thumbsup

He didn't know what he was doing.

Oh...and btw...if anybody else wants to sell their site(s), let me know, but please, go easy on me if I don't pay you within 14 minutes...

thanks
Pierre

Shap... I love you, but I do feel we should see other people..

i sold epic for 8 bucks and a ding dong....

i ripped the buyer off hardcore!


moron

I'm surprised it only went for $37k. Just 3 sales a day for a year and its paid for.

What an idiot.. Especially selling it to a program.. kiss of death for the site IMO...

LOL I think you may be right. Thanks for thread jacking and directing people to contact you if they are selling.

To alot of people that is a near impossible task.

I thought that site/network had much bigger traffic and sales numbers.

Hell even "I" could afford that TGP.

Yeah you're right....look at the horrible job that the Nasty Dollars crew has done with sites like Sublime Directory and Mad Thumbs :1orglaugh

You're welcome my friend!:
EVERYBODY, I OFFER 1 DOLLAR MORE THEN SHAP DOES!!!!

contact info is on my site!

Sounds like the buyer (WildCash.com) got a good deal.

hehe na it would take a good bit to get me to sell right now..but yea never know. I plan to finish of my goals of getting things I want to get done before I'd ever sell out.

lol but then again I'm sure you know how much I hate adding new galleries :1orglaugh

Sublime Directory existed and was huge well before NastyDollars... and Mad Thumbs.. well... who grew it???

To get 3 sales a day ? :error LOL

*sigh*
Ok you know everything.

On another note though, why on earth would you care if selling to a program was the "kiss of death" for your site? You're selling and moving on, what do you care what happens to the site now?

Emotional attachment to business assets is a big reason alot of people fail and/or don't get in or out of a certain market when they should.

Well maybe, but look.. two big buyers willing to one up some more and then a sold sign went up? Thats odd :error

WoW with that type of mentality Pierre ,
You would be a guaranteed a spot
if you played "Price is Right" :thumbsup
you won't get the joke unless u know the gameshow :winkwink:

Only $37k for a 6 year old tgp? Shit, that's nothing.

Who are the wildcash guys???

They run other tgp's or is this new for them?

37K? i spent many K over the years of advertising. would have thought it was worth quite a bit more than that. odd how we all interchange, but some end up much better than others.

only $37k? What the fuck!?!? I was thinking it would sell for around $100k or more.

Coming from the guy who has never run/grown a TGP... or at least one that was at least a marginal success.

Some people like their successes to live on as a "testament" to something they've built.. But if he didn't care, then why didn't he go for the bigger money.

Given the way this happened, it's more likely he needed cash bad and really fast so didn't care about anything at all. He could have got a lot more than what he ended up with and put the site in the hands of people that really know what they're doing.

Don't you know the 10min rule ? *sigh you snooze u lose :1orglaugh
j/k

lol
37k? some reason i dont buy it

i could of done that

Hey Pierre the last guy we both dealt with that was a real moron was Marc Perrins. That guy went from asking $500,000 to $20,000 in 4 days LOL. I'm not sure which was worse. The lying Marc Perrins? Or 10 minutes is too long for him to wait Crysty. What do you think Pierre?

Marc was the king!!!

Webgurl, yeah, we dutch people are slow... ;-) I have addopted the island style in here in Curacao

Usually Pierre swears by the 1 minute rule. I guess he's a little slow when it comes to business :winkwink:

:1orglaugh!!

Ouch! Dumbest move ever!,

I thought it was a big established site. I would have thought it would sell for much higher than $37k

I bet you the owner of Platinum Bucks / Adult Rental would be interested in buying traffic sites.

You should contact him if anything ever comes up [email protected]

He asked me to pass that along

Congrats to the winner of the latest free site sell off.

Gameshows are so asian!

If I were on the Price is Right I'd be the smartass bidding "one dollar"...

i also thought it would sell for alot more

Btw all joking aside I'd be livid if i were Pierre. This jackass agreed to do the deal. He told Pierre it's a done deal. Then as Pierre is discussing how he's going to pay the guy he says sorry i sold it to someone else who paid me faster than you (which was not even 14 minutes).

This guy is such a joker and people wonder why it sold for 37k. The guy was a class A douche bag that's why.

Cmon dude that's Shap and Pierre now there... lol

Jerking thoses 2 guys arround aiin't too fucking smart.

DAVE! (said in seinfeld "newman" voice)

TGPS aren't worth that much at all ... they aren't too stable (most of them). Ah-Me is an established site with a lot of bookmarkers... I would have guessed 50k for a price or something like that

Did you know him beforehand or do trades with him previous to this? I thought most of you big tgp guys knew each other and were pretty much friends or associates.
