Is 0.10 a good price and how big does the post have to be? What is the demand for buying a forum? What niches sell very fast?
 
If you're looking to do freelance paid posting, $0.10 is usually as cheap as it gets. That does not go hand in hand with determining the value of a forum though. Take FP for example. It currently has 1,736,896 posts. Multiply that by $0.10 per post. That comes to 173,689. Is FP worth $173,689? I don't think so. 😛

There's still certainly a demand for buying forums in general, but it feels like it's gotten more difficult to connect with folks. Flippa was where I was doing a lot of business, but they completely changed their platform a few years ago.
 

This site says FP is worth $32,185.

Those automated appraisal sites are useless. I wouldn't take anything you see on that seriously. It also estimates we have $36,000 in revenue annually. I wish that was the case. 😛

Would you sell for $32,000? Asking for a friend j/k

If the site has many threads, then its worth whatever the new owners is valuing it at. I could sell my site at $5,000 for 90,000 threads. Especially if your SEO has traffic coming around.

Threads and traffic is what makes forums valuable. Now, that doesn't discount posts, but in general what you really want is residual traffic on the investment you made on the money you offered.

That's what it boils down to.

Just fill a brief case with one hundred dollar bills and send it my way.

What do you think you could get for Destroy Repeat on the open market today?

I don't know, at this point. The problem is google is wonky at the moment. There's traffic, but it on the low side. I am pushing old backlinks, via two domains that had pageranks higher than Destroy Repeat. Its stupid, Google is becoming a search engine that's pointing a sword at itself and the websites that are on the platform are affected. I'm using Twitter as a ranking signal, but Elon is screwing shit up, there, too. And then the Analytics and Search Console parts of Google are screwing with what I'm trying to accomplish.

CoDForums is the most valuable project I have. Without everything else, with exception of Google search engine. I could sell CoDForums based around search, and it would go for beyond $x,xxx or $xx,xxx. The reason why I am keeping it, is because on its own its my money driver. Destroy Repeat, I keep because of the name.

It sounds like I'm making excuses, but I'm seeing problems that are not of my doing.
