If BlackHatWorld were to be on sale, how much would you buy it for.

I missed the sale the last time around. Hey Diamond Damien, if you are ever interested in selling let me know. I will take it for the right price:)
 
i know its a diff niche but the owner of hackforums.net only wanted 80k and i bet they have the same amount of members.
 
Lol, this thread is hilarious. So much nonsense on BHW these days.

For obvious reasons, I cannot comment on what I think it could be sold for.

One thing people should realise is that running a forum of this size is not easy and requires considerable infrastructure. You would be surprised how many big sites you think make millions but actually make a loss after paying their costs (I'm not saying BHW makes a loss) but unless you know the costs associated with the business it's impossible to value accurately.

Thats all we get? You afraid of being Demodeded? Im sure DD won't mind if you gave an honest value of what you would give for it. Just messing with you thought, dear god dont neg rep the shit out of me.

What are the obvious reasons, I really can't see any o.0
It's just a price appraisal like any.. Or is it because you don't have access to traffic stats, earning stats etc?
 
So many panties up in a wad over a silly question... who really cares? OP asked out of curiosity, nothing wrong with that.
 
lets say that 1 % of the forum 50,000 members are Jr. VIP and that will be 500 members, so 500 members * $ 97 and that makes it $ 48,500 per year, this can be far less or more of-course.

I'm quite sure.. more than 500 members are Jr.VIP. I swear there are thousands. We're like cockroaches.
 
Hi there guys! I was wondering this question how much would you buy BlackHat for? Please give me a serious answer and not like $1 or $1000000000000000000000 dollars. Thanks :D


Serious answer....

Make an offer if you want to buy it.

No one with good business sense would be able to give you an answer just like that. There is a lot of research that would have to be done first.
 
Forums (i.e. user-generated content properties) are not worth nearly what most people might assume them to be given that their popularity -- and therefore value -- hinge upon the quality of participation relative to the knowledge level of the participants; and, the extent to which that set can be projected and therefore monetised. That said, we're on the Internet: no doubt in my mind this forum could sell for a million USD +. I certainly wouldn't pay that, though.

Short version: Ever been a member of a forum that changed administrative/moderative hands? Did you like it? ...this affects the medium- and long-term value projections of any intelligent investor and what they will pay, therefore.
 
Just wanna put a guess here to be cool, so I say 500k usd to 1 mil usd
 
According to me it would be around 1-2 million dollars+
 
I guess the Brooklyn Bridge or the Statue of Liberty are wanted objects too. Still wonder how much they were sold for.

Selling BHW is comparable to that I would say. But, what do I know right? :P
Ground rule of selling is that it is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay for it tho.

How much does an original hammer of Thor go for these days? How does one price tag items like that? Craigslist? Ebay?
