Needing to sell a ecommerce AI graphics playground website. Could use some help in what to price it at?

$500?!? That's an insult plain and simple! I have paid a web designer/coder almost $1000 a week for the past year to create this website. Countless hours of coding, designing, etc.. and you think you could buy a website like this for $500? SMH! Send me a link to your website and let's see what you have.
Just because you got ripped off doesn't mean someone else has too also.

I got quotes recently on fiver for a turnkey sticker website and the prices ranged $500- $1500 for a very good sticker website (based on the examples provided). There are web designers that have templates ready to go, plug in your details and you have a top notch sticker website ready in a week.


If you really paid "$1000 a week for the past year to create this website" then you got majorly ripped off. $52k for a $500 looking website?

What ypu have paid doesn't really have any relevance sadly. I could pay someone $50K to design me a website to use AI to make me pictures of sausages. It doesn't mean anyone is going to buy anything from it or that I can sell the site to anyone.
What you have done is pay someone to design a site that is very little use to people in the sign industry, and very little appeal for the general public to buy from, which is why you haven't made any money from it.
If the site was that good you would be getting thousands of orders a day and keep it for yourself, but you aren't are you?
I am not being insulting, but you have wasted your money on a site nobody wants. Had you done some proper research with people in the sign industry beforehand you wouldn't have wasted so much money.

So after your edit... so you are turning over what, a million a year from the website? And never thought to mention this before? If you are making that much off it why do you want to sell it ? Something doesn't add up.
And the designs are still awful. How do those jpegs scale up when someone wants to do the side of a huge truck and needs it 10 feet high compared to a vector design?

So according to website traffic checkers you are getting a couple of visitors per day to ink-monkey.com .

That $50k was spent on the monkey logo. I don't see the appeal. A website value isn't based on how much you spent on it... or gross sales, question is what is the yearly profit of the business?

Well according to him he is turning over around a million a year from it, so should be running at at least £500K a year profit from that :D

And he is turning over a million a year, but claims he can't afford to advertise it properly to grow sales...

Credit where it's due, it's a really cool site! I can respect the work that goes into something like that. I've toyed around with starting a site selling decals online, but never pulled the trigger, I think the AI artwork adds an extra layer, but i agree, there should be an option for clients to upload their own design, alongside the AI creator, i really think they would complement each other.

It's not my market segment, but you did a good job on this!

We have that option, and thank you for the compliment. We really have busted our butts trying to build this.

.How much do you think I have to pay my staff, overhead, materials, insurance, app charges, lease, vehicles, equipment, etc? A million a year doesn't cut it in todays business. One employee is anywhere from 700 to 1000 a week - 8 employees.. do the math.. Unless you are giving your employees minimum wage. And no idea where you got your info from, but this entire thread is a joke. Apparently no one has a business on here. (It isn't cheap!) Done with this thread. The $500 remark, showed me everything I need to know about the mentality of this.
You should be able to do a mil revenue with 3-4 employees especially if you are selling online.

If this is your shop and this is the quality of the products you are putting out there, You've got nothing on me big boy! This is a joke! You should probably find yourself another hobby, cause brother you are in the minors and completely out of your league.
