Full Circle – How I Bought a Website I sold Two Years Ago
Filed Under my web sites · Tagged:
Approximately two years ago, I was divesting myself of my hosting business, and in a separate transaction I sold off . I sold it for about what I paid for it. A few days ago, I bought it back from the person I had sold it to, back in 2003. I paid less than half of what it had originally sold. I’ve upgraded, and am refocusing the site. It was focused on being a technical support site, but since the osCommerce main site does that so well, there’s no need. There is a need, however, for a site focused on helping people who don’t need technical support, but would like to learn more about managing an ecommerce site. So, the focus will be on subjects like marketing, SEO, fullfillment, and other non-technical issues. The technical stuff is still there, just consolidated into a smaller area. Come over and say hi!
Peter Davis is a web developer, investor, author, entrepreneur, and most importantly a father. 
Funny.
Yeah, that’s great.
Looks like you have done a nice job on the site Peter, Good luck with it.
What is the name of the website Peter? I’d like to take a look.
I believe the site was oscusers.com. Unique in that it’s the only website I’ve flipped twice. Thanks for reminding me of it, I’ll mention it in a Sitepoint article I’m writing.
PS: Sadly, looks like some spammers eventually got ahold of the domain. The history of the site is that it was the only support forum for OScommerce. When OScommerce opened their own forum, the site died very quickly.
