    I'm looking to sell a website. It's an Irish community/forum website with an active user base. I'm not interested in sites like Flippa, as it's a very Irish site, with an Irish only user base and it needs an Irish buyer/owner.

    Are there any places you could recommend advertising the site that would reach Irish potential buyers?

    The site generates advertising revenues of about 2.5K a year, and has room for growth. I'll be emailing businesses that might benefit from owning the site, but any advice anyone can give would be welcome.

    do you have contracts with these advertisers ? or is it just people you know (ie. will the advertising revenue disappear after sale)

    is it a .ie website ? if so you will have difficulty selling....is it a business or website you are selling?

    No contracts with the advertisers, but there's no reason they'd stop advertising unless the site changed. It's a niche area and the advertisers are in that niche. They're all paid up until the end of the year.

    It's a .com domain, though we do own the .ie as well (never used). .ie domains are just too torublesome.

    It's the website we're selling - there is no attached business.

    Another one looking for a PM! Genuinely would be interested if I saw potential in the website. Also, like the OP asked; is there anywhere to go for buying/selling websites?

    Fellas, while I appreciate all the interest and request for PMs, I'm not going to be sending identifying information about a local website that generates income to anonymous people on the internet.

    I'm sure you're all accomplished entrepreneurs who buy and sell business all the time, but if you're really interested, PM me with a real name, an email address that's not hotmail, and a link to to who you are in real as well as business life (website, Linked In, etc.).

    Thanks.
