Singlesburg.Com emailed to say they are still trying to find a buyer for their website. Actually, they have a few hundred dating site domain names, which they are trying to unload for $150,000. They are open to any reasonable offer based on market fair value of domain names, not database or software. Domain names are about $1k a piece. The website is free. Localized domains are useful, but a lot of the names are of dubious value IMHO.

Mergernetwork has 25 dating sites for sale. Reading the descriptions of the dating sites is like deciphering apartment rental ads.
“Superb front-end and back-end design” means they hired their cousin to build the site from scratch and he did the graphics too. Hardly any customers.
“Recession proof ind. in stress free fun wrkng environ. For $75k investor will get 17.5% of co. or receive interest on $60k @ 8% pd out over 5 yrs (int only for 1st 3 yrs.) Currently 250 members in DB.”
Let me get this straight. $75 grand gets you 17% of the company, which has 250 members. Sounds like a bargain.
I’m sure there are a few values to be had if you did enough due diligence, but with no way to easily measure the quality of the membership database, most of these sites seem like a real crap shoot.
