Testing times
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!

Hi Stevio, I was walking around and found your post. Just checked the sitepoint and the website you are selling. I am not a buyer who wants to reduce the price, just a few things if I would be a buyer:
1) I don’t see any stats for the domain for the traffic.
2) the website itself just look like a usual website with not high google rank
3) the name of the domain is nice but info domains aren’t so valuable as .com domains
I am not sure what I would pay for the prise you are expecting.
Would be nice if you can show the valuable parts of the website for buyers, so they will think more before make such bids as $1 or $10.
Don’t blame me, that is just my opinion after checking the website

Hello,
The auction had already ended, so I removed all the info.
I’ll be posting more on the latest of the site’s sale shortly.
