ExtremeHW Site Auction - Bidding Ends Jan 1st


ENTERPRISE

Recommended Posts

Hello all, 

 

Related to the Topic laying out my departure from the site and some of the struggles noted in finding a new owner, I have decided that auctioning the site and its associated assets is the next logical step. Below I will outline the relevant information so that all those that enter a bid, are fully aware of all the facts before doing so.

 

What is included in the auction

*ExtremeHW Community Forum
*ExtremeHW Review Site
*ExtremeHW Etsy Store
*ExtremeHW Discord
*ExtremeHW Socials (Facebook & X)
*ExtremHW YouTube Channel
*All Artwork Assets (Site Graphics/Social Media & Homepage Exposure Etc)
*All Document Assets
*All Custom Plugin Development
*All Relationships Between ExtremeHW and Vendors
*All Relationships Between ExtremeHW and Developers
*All Service Logins
*All Google Workspace Assets (Gdrive, Email Inboxes Etc)

 

Minimum monthly cost of running the sites
 

Dedicated Server Rental - $133.86 (Contractual agreement ends May 2025)
Invision Community Suite - $17 **
Cloudflare - $25 
Google Workspace - $47.77
Domain - $2.19 ** 

Font Awesome Pro - $8.25 **

 

** Services that are billed annually but broken down monthly for clarity.

 

For those who are less savvy or disinterested with respects to all things Server and Cloudflare management you can optionally retain the services of my server manager for an additional cost of $75 per month and includes the below.

 

- General server management including but not limited to, Proactive care, Configurations, Software Updates, Security, Backups, Troubleshooting + More 

- Cloudflare management. (Web Access Firewall & Performance Optimization)

This would leave you with managing the community only, which is the route I took to spare my time. 

 

**NOTE** The above costs can be value engineered by the new owner. The above details costs to keep the site online and does not include optional custom development/plugin upgrades. All information pertaining to optional costs will be detailed to the winner.

 

Current Site Income/Stats

 

If you wish to discover the sites income/stats please inquire via PM.

 

Included help and support
 

 I will provide help and support via myself or another with respects to the running of the site if required. Taking on a site can come with questions and I am not going to abandon a new owner and leave them to struggle as this would be unfair. Support will be included but not limited to the below examples.
 

*Support with gaining familiarity with the ExtremeHW platforms, Invision Community & Wordpress.
*Support with backend management. This would include the integral services required for the running of the site including Server Management, Cloudflare Etc.
*Any questions the new owner may have regarding the sites and related services.

 

This is not included as part of the auction, but more of a gesture to make a transition as smooth as possible.

 

How to submit a bid & deadline
 

Please submit your highest bid to me via PM in US Dollars. If your bid has been beaten, you will be informed so that you can decide if you wish to increase your bid.

The starting bid is set at $1000 (USD).

 

**NOTE** Bidders will be PRIVATE..


I ask that you only bid if you are SERIOUS about taking on the community and its associated services. Winning bid is final once funds are transferred to the current owner. All sales are final and refunds will not be given under any circumstances.

 

Bids will be accepted up until January 1st. The highest bidder at that time will be contacted and an announcement made in due course. 

 

Questions

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask via the topic or PM. If I feel the query should be answered privately, I will contact you via PM.
 

All the best,

E

While there's no way I have the knowledge or the funds to take on the responsibility of the site,I want to say that it's great of you to offer your support to the new owner. That right there shows the difference between this community and the one's just looking to make a buck. I know I and most of the rest of us will try to be understanding of any hiccups that may occur and wish you the best. 🤗

Smart and balanced move, E. 

 

@ All the oldschool peeps and those who are avid here, if you're interested in a communal bid to help out E and transfer the ownership to a collective group, please PM me. I'm in if there's at least a few more who might be.

With a view to making it "easier" for someone to take on the site, I am also open to someone taking possession of the site for FREE, as in there would be no purchase price. However, it would be expected of you that you take on the current server hosting costs of the site as below:

 

Dedicated Server Rental - $133.86 (Contractual agreement ends May 2025)
Invision Community Suite - $17 **
Cloudflare - $25 
Google Workspace - $47.77
Domain - $2.19 ** 

Font Awesome Pro - $8.25 ** 

 

You can reduce/remove any of the above other than the Dedicated Server Rental which you would still have to maintain up until May, at which point you can move the site to any hosting you wish.

 

If you are interested, Please send me a PM  🙂 

 

All the best,

E
