v7n Webmaster Forum up for sale
The famouse v7n Webmaster Forum is up for sale on Sitepoint.com. For a starting Bid of about $400,000 and a buy-it-now price of $500,000 its quite a big sale for any established forum. Take a quick look at v7n’s homepage and you’ll see the type of content that’s discussed on the site.
John Scott is the guy behind v7n, He has stated on the v7n blog that he’s headed back to school and is stepping down from the daily duties of running the site. I’m pretty sure this is the major reason the forum (company) is on the auction block. So far it looks like there are quite a few people interested. So well see how it ends in the next 12 days.

I don’t he will sell it for $500,000 it’s overpriced IMO. Maybe for $100,000
