Default New purchase - opinions wanted...

I'm thinking of purchasing the website, www.flying4dummies.co.uk as the owner has apparently lost interest and no longer maintains the site. It is currently on an ebay auction. What do you think? Is it worth a bid? If so, what sort of value would you place on it?

Any opinions welcome. Thanks.

Rob

Well it depends. The price seems good. If you have the time to do the upkeep and help it to grow. Yea it is worth it. Look at RCU, I don't think it was this big when it first came online. I think it has potential. Go for it.

Good luck
Andrew

You will of course change the name to something that is less likely to guarantee failure?

Looks like a useless site to me.

Does look quite mundane. Unless it had some big following and was making some dough, seems like a waste.
Just MHO though.

Would make a good insurance fire. Just messing with ya. No really, would make a good insurance fire. Why waste your money on this when you could have some kid whip up the same thing in an hour.

Only if you are buying something that includes some value. Do not buy only the name.
