$249,000

$221,000

If you find a horse head in your bed take the offer.

Or maybe this:

$41,434,753.59

$2,800... but absolutely PRICELESS to each one of us!

Lol. I mean c’mon. They are our “greatest ally” after all. Amirite? It’s not like they have been caught in the last couple years spying on the White House. I mean they gave a warm welcome to the spy that we released. So warm in fact that Netanyahu himself greeted him on tarmac. It’s not like they allow pedos a sanctuary or anything.

$138,420
And yes truly priceless

I suspect that what this outfit really wants is access to member's personal data. They will resell that to spammers.

It would be fun Paul, if after you receive an offer, tell them you will need to delete all member information.

Since they are in Israel you can cite the EU's GDPR law that protects individual privacy.

See what they have to say after that .

Money aside i agree with Grit Guy.....Thanks Paul and your father also plus Benny!

white17 hit the nail on the head, all they care about is member personal information and demographics. There is a few of these places going around buying all the forums, and they have ruined them completely.

The better question Mr. Dobbins, is what do we need to do to ensure the forum stays on? I am quite sure some antis would love to get this place and dismantle it, which would be unfortunate.

For me the value can't be measured in dollars, since I can offer you whatever the highest bid is, and I still would not have what TMAN brings.

185,000 is my guess

First Red Flag for me was the "Hi Paul" opening. Though the company appears to be legit, what company addresses a potential seller / buyer on their first name basis in the initial contact? Also, a business type letter format or communication is not being used.

I bet the offer was in the $1750.00 range.

$138,500.00

Keep the site,Paul and take the 10 million from that Nigerian prince.

Working for a company that relies on subscriber content to get product information out to make sales, I have learned to appreciate the value of the internet: but turning a hit on the web site into a sale requires alot of work. In light of that the following may be interesting

copied from the web

Modern marketers are measured by their ability to move prospective buyers through a process that increases their value to the business along the way to become what we think of as a customer (someone who makes a purchase). As the theory goes, a qualified lead is worth more than a visitor, and a sales opportunity (or a filled shopping cart) is worth more than a qualified lead, and a sale is worth more than an opportunity. Marketers then value their marketing based on dividing the total marketing dollars spent by the sum of the revenue (or potential revenue) created at each stage gate.

But this calculation is where we get the side-eye from the chief financial officer. The classic challenge of solving marketing’s ROI has always been associating a tangible value of that “potential revenue.”

YouTube uses a method called CPM or “Cost Per Mille” which is a marketing term for cost per 1,000 views or in some cases impressions. Typically the CPM for YouTuber can range from 20 cents to $10 per 1,000 views. But typically an average channel will get about $1.50 – $3 per 1,000 views.


So far you have had 2 thousand views and 111 replies. to this question. I would look at the replies as real leads for possible sales, Your ROI would a % of this number. I would say 1 to 3 %.

The value of the shed is a different story.

I think a talk with Keith Winkler would be interesting. Along with a call to Tom Parr.

Just my opinion.

Fun Question...............................I would say content is the driver. As a hobby, I am a moderator on FB Trapping History and Heritage, we have around 15k subscribers. keeping those people interested is time consuming. Is there tangible value, I think not. I keep over $5k of my own material for posting. I have learned alot about members and demographics.

Good thing I like trapping and trappers.

Along with the aforementioned cautions, any company who is offering a good "deal" , but then adds, " we are filling up with clients fast so hurry and get on this or loose out" ....wanting you to jump without careful contemplation , is a strike out for me.

Besides , really not knowing who they are or really where they are located.

SJA hit on another caution point. No professional, first contact from legitimate business begins their inquiry with "Hi Paul" .

Once I see any of those two main flags, the dollar bill is bogus for me.

Sharon, if people are contacting you with letters that say "Hi, Paul" they have bigger problems than a lack of professionalism!!

if its a legit offer of over 100 g would be hard to pass up.... id say sell and start a new site... my bet this site would crash and everyone would follow !!
life wouldnt be same without trapperman... the people and knowledge across a spn of knowledge is astounding.... right down too coonman who thinks a little different but thatts ok.... im tellin ya man it was crawfish that lived in a blue bucket !!!!
thanks for the site paul.... your dad would be proud!!

The photos of the two principals behind the outfit look like they came right out of the Soprano's crew
