I received this email and got curious. What do y'all think it's worth?

Hi Paul,

Wouldn’t it be nice to know how much trapperman.com is worth and then decide if you would like to sell it for a high profit?

Well, now you can get a price quote and an optional acquisition proposal tailored to your needs.

Landocs Private Equity (PE) is an investment company specializing in Website acquisition & Management. We own & operate a large and growing portfolio of websites - Online Communities, Online services, Blogs, Game sites, and more.

We have personally been in your chair when we decided to sell previous digital assets we owned so we know exactly how you feel, and we will make sure you will find our proposal attractive.

We do have a limited capacity of the number of digital assets we can handle at the same time, so the faster you will be, the higher the chances we will be able to get back to you with a relevant & attractive proposal.

I'd be happy to provide you a price quote and explain the simple sale cycle.

Here's a link to some testimonials from various website owners just like you.

P.S. Remember it costs you nothing to see what your site is worth.

Ditto! Paul, this place is part of all of our past and future! Your site cannot be sold! It is part of what happened because of your dad!! I grew up with this site and it was a huge part of my learning experience. If and when it has come down to the time, it needs a to be handed to someone capable of carrying it on!

I'm not selling, just curious about what these folks think it's worth. As long as I'm breathing, and able to take care of it, Tman will be ours.

I filled out the form to find out how much. Anyone want to take a guess? I've had offers in the past, and one was 6 figures. When the offer comes in, I'll see who comes closest and will be given a lure package.

I'm thinking somewhere in the tens of millions just to shut us all up with our talk of hunting,trapping, fishing, family, religion and living a normal life. The wako buggers spent 4.2 Millon three years ago to get me and 1,500 cattle off 2,200 acres just to lock it up and let the drought and grasshoppers destroy a beautiful Ranch.

You know as well as anybody, if it's not a scam the value would be, for them, how much advertising value it carries. How much they can make off adds. Your stats are known by the bots that visit your site, you know the reoccurring ones that only stay for 3 seconds. The ones that are always marked unique. You most likely have your IT. guys/lady's checking to make sure your servers are secure. You also know your rep. Is trusted we all know you can't be bought. I personally think it's a scam. Just make sure you keep up on the domain name payments. (Little smiley thingy).

I have to think that the site/company listed is bogus. You’ll notice the writer called you “Paul” as if he knew you. Maybe he does. But I suspect he doesn’t and is just phishing for internal information you currently don’t share with anyone.

Next, it looks like he wants to act on this quickly because they have a finite number of the websites, etc they’ll buy.
The idea that you must act fast as they don’t handle a lot of new business smells terribly like a scam.

If I was a serious buyer, I’d send you a letter written on paper, and give you a phone number and my business address. I’d follow up with a phone call shortly after the letter was sent. In other words, I’d try to prove to you me and my company were legitimately interested in buying your business.

If you’re serious about this, talk to a business transaction lawyer who can check this guy and his company out. You may find it’s either legit or not. You may also find out what sort of business they want, such as your lure business, to be part of it. Lawyers aren’t high on anyone’s list until you realize you’ve been taken by a slick, out of state company that didn’t have your well-being in mind. It just doesn’t hurt to protect yourself before you hold a pen in your hand.

Also, if you do decide to sell the business, please remove my email address from your database. I really don’t want to share that information with a purely advertising company.

$750,000 as the traffic this place has now is astounding to say the least. You could retire from being retired and maybe buy fur LOL.

Maybe they are an aquisition arm of Peta. Buy this site and then shut it down. A la Canada Goose.

The offer certainly won’t be what the site is worth. It’s a business decision by some investors. What it’s worth and what the offer will be will be completely off balance.

That said, I think the offer will be in the 60k range.

Sounds about like what happened to the "Michigan Sportsman" site. Now it's just non stop adds and popups....Give us a heads up, I'll sit closer to the door.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
