    Scarily, Lemon 64 is worth even more:

    http://bizinformation.org/us/www.lemon64.com

    Try putting in the likes of Facebook, Youtube, MSN, Yahoo and Google for some truly insane numbers.

    Blooming eck, imagine if Google brought it. As soon as you could blink every available blank space would contain an advert.

    It's lost all credibility in my eyes now. Heh, imagine the arguments if Dansolo caught wind of this. :roll:

    Yeah, the numbers are a tad dubious.

    For a laugh I typed in my old ZX81 site, which has been abandoned over a decade and I no longer have access to, and it came back with a valuation of nearly half a million dollars!

    The valuation for the YSRNRY (?21k) is a pretty good one considering the number of man-hours put into it.

    Of course, the hard part is finding someone who is going to pay that :)

    wierdly, the website that runs the thing has removed itself from any valuation.
  • edited May 2010
    It's alright for a bit of fun but goodness knows where they get their figures and ideas for valuations from. They value my personal business site at ?416K but that's based on visitor figures that are only 10% of the actual number. :) Silly money... they're living in the time before the dot com bubble burst I think.

    I put in wiijax.com which is a site I reserved for doing AJaX stuff for the Opera browser on the Wii, and have never used. It just shows the 123-reg holding screen, and I'm about to let the renewal die.

    Valuation?
    ?1,016.33

    Right... Who wants it then? Come on, pony up!

    They also seem to think WoS is located in the US, probably based on the .org extension alone.
    Tsk! :-x

    I put in my other barely-used one, 'railtron.com' and the whole site turned German.

    All this leads to an interesting question - if someone wanted to buy you out (all your Speccy projects, services and products), what would be your price?
  • edited May 2010
    Whod want too buy it, you can copy it ad claim it as your own for free. :razz:

    I just HAD to do this as a comparison:

    Less than 20 daily visitors :roll:

    And it's interesting to read where the visitors are mainly coming from:
    Popular in Countries: United Kingdom

    The popularity statement is rather dodgy anyway. For WoS it only says it's popular in the US, while Thunderstats rather disagrees.
    Pfff. Maybe they also do website awards we can register for? :razz:

    Even if I wanted to (which I don't and never will), I couldn't sell it.
    After all, the material is not mine, it belongs to us all.

    Should I ever decide to quit, I'll just give it to someone else.

    No, that's just how much cash people will pay to get rid of the site :razz:

    [Serious bit: C64s are good machines, and the above it just a joke. It's only C64 owners who should be used for landfill]




    By the way, Martijn, I like that new Austin Martin you were driving around in. How'd you afford that?
