It's not the site that's worth that much money. It's the name recognition, search engine recognition and reach. Given the size of tsikot.com and how often it comes up on search engines, I'd say 10-20m is a fair offer. 100 might just be too much... and I wonder if MIH is really serious with that offer.

Want to build a site that's this popular? Get lucky with the name, and get a whole crapload of people to view it. Not easy. You can spend a million bucks buying out even a small site with a popular or base domain name...

If they want kotse... sure... we'll sell for 10m up front, plus 2m a year in terms of salaries for site admins? No problem.

pwede ba mag apply for admin sa kotse sir niky? palagi naman ako naka online.

Don't forget the intangibles that come along with tsikot.com... OB.

Hahaha... I'm not the boss. I'm just the Test Drive lackey.

aside from the investment ... its the TIME..

sa experience ko po... when we started tsikot.com , i resigned from my job, i spent 14 to 16 hours a day online for almost 4 years doing backend stuff... with no other sources of income... in short umaasa sa pamilya

I dont even own a car when we started tsikot.com .

it really depends on how an investor evaluates the value of a website...

instagram is only 14 months old when Facebook acquired it for 1 billion dollars, they dont even have any revenue

pinterest is in 1 billion valuation right now when a japan based company infused 50 million usd investment with other VCs
