_co_uk Bapwatch - 20,000+ uniques/month

FC Domains · Sep 28, 2010

Slightly embarrassed by this one, but it would be a shame to just ditch all that traffic.
bapwatch.co.uk & bapwatch.com

Over 20,000 uniques a month. Almost all from Google.

Best bid by 2pm on Thursday 30th September 2010

The site was started in 2002, because the lads down the pub thought the name was hilarious, but it's now neglected.
The traffic has built ever since, but I'm rubbish at making money from adverts, so it's never made any money.
The content is PG, but hardly Adult (some would say far from it).

Full rules:

Bids will include VAT (receipt will be sent) and the first bid should be £50.
Bids must be a multiple of £10.
Payment by bank transfer or PayPal within 24 hours.
All bids must be in this topic, not by PM. (If this is a real problem tell me)
Bids must be Acorn time stamped before 2:00 pm 30/9/10
If there is a bid in the last 5 minutes, the auction is extended by 10 minutes and so onwards.
(ie If there is a bid at 1:56 the auction will then end with bids before 2:10 pm.)
If the Acorn web site suffers any failures in the last hour, a new end time will be published.
Buyer pays transfer fee.
No BIN

Yes pls publish keywords.

FC Domains · Sep 29, 2010

Not sure keywords list is a lot of use. They are spread over a very wide range of minor celebs.
These are all for this month, but you get sudden peaks.

If wanted I'll include a backup of the site including the stats.

130 here, nice site.

£275 by PM

There are now a couple of bidders who want to remain anonymous, but I don't know how to publish PM bids here without being suspected of inflating the price myself. However in this case I think you'll just have to trust me.

Also will intending bidders with a 'trader rating' of under 10 please PM me before bidding and identify themselves.

And remember it's bids before 2pm.

I've been asked so:

Because the transfer needs to be done seamlessly to keep the traffic, I will (unless they have a better idea):

Transfer the .com to a new Namesco account and give the new owner the password (or transfer to a Namesco account if they have one). Then they can do what they like. It's paid until Feb 2012.
The .co.uk will be a normal Nominet transfer.
I will continue to host the current content for another month.
I will make the current content available as a download.
