I’m still getting approaches from people interested in buying FootballTransfers.info. Unfortunately it seems for every one serious buyer, there’s another five not so serious.
As I mentioned previously, I listed the site on SitePoint, initially I decided not to put a starting price just to attract bids, unfortunately, the bids attracted were of $1 and $10. I had already put a reserve price, so the chancers were wasting their time and mine.
SitePoint has brought some interest, however, the most serious was from someone who I would have been reluctant to do a deal with. When searching for information on the person, who supposedly runs a successful football kit related website, I found some quite negative things, so I knew pretty much then it wasn’t going to happen. Also bizarrely the person said his ‘SEO expert’ said the site was worth ‘next to nothing’, which gave me a laugh.
It certainly is testing having to deal with people who ‘accidentally’ make low-ball offers like a few hundred dollars, or others who think they can buy the site on the cheap. Currently I’m having to count to ten otherwise I may say something not so pleasant to these so-called interested buyers. However, for now, I shall bite my tongue!
