Default Buying a Business

Work commitments at the minute have meant that setting up my own website is too time consuming.

In which case, I've looked at buying a turnkey business that I may be able to run part time for a while (if it's possible), find my feet and then move full time.

I've already looked on certain websites, but wondered whether there are any others that people know of? Not sure whether I can name websites on here, so it may that I have already looked on some that are mentioned.

Thanks,

Luke

Site Value Report

The estimated value of http://www.gamejelly.net is: $60

This value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web.


From dnscoop.com. Dnscoop values should be taken with a big pinch of salt.
