The site that wouldn’t sale
Could it be that a site is impossible to sell? What is it that makes people decide to buy a site only to back out when it is time to pay?
I’m of course talking about one of the sites that I mentioned in my post about patience. The other I’ve heard from the buyer and found that he’s just waiting for some money to come in which is perfectly acceptable and puts my mind at ease, but this site has just got me so confused.
I listed it for sale several months ago when it was in its prime and I didn’t even get any nibbles. I was really anxious about giving it up so looking back I don’t think that I was ready to give it up. But this time, I have complete peace about giving it up. Quite simply, it is time for me to move on with my life. After all I’ve put into it I can’t bear to see it go to waste, but at the same time I know that with my limited knowledge that I’ve done all that I can with it. It’s akin to loving a pet but knowing that it would have a better life without you. I’m just not the right person any more.
But I can’t get the thing to sell. Remember that this is my second time to offer it up for sale and it is at about a quarter of what I originally wanted for it the first time. So the price has settled on $200. I’ve had 4 people offer to buy it at this price. The first backed out after 2 or 3 days of me waiting for payment because he didn’t think that he could manage the transfer. And the second lowered his offer because “everything doesn’t seem okay”. The third I haven’t heard back from after her initial offer of interest. I just hope that buyer 4 will come through for me.
I’ve now had someone else offer $150 for the database and $100 for the vB license. I acepted because I was ready to be done with it. Not 15 minutes later someone offered $275 for it all. So it ended up selling for much less than what I wanted, but I have glad that it is off my hands and that I have some money to work with.
All that remains now is for the vB licensed to be transfered and I will glad that this process is done with.
