From eBay:

This auction is for www.vfxtalk.com the industries leading visual effects community, with over 30,000 members from the world largest post production and visual effects companies. VFXtalk has been around for close to 10 years and is a leader and cornerstone of the Visual Effects profession which is the backbone of todays film industry.

The site is packed with amazing imagery, galleries, videos and pictures that will blow you away and the community is lively, active and energetic and focused on perfecting their talent and reaching out to the film industry as a whole.

I purchased the site for $15,000 over 5 years ago and have managed and run the site and seen it grow from 4,000 users to over 30,000 and have invested over $150,000 usd in it.

The site is a standard vbulletin installation and is easy to manage and run, and there is a great team of moderators who manage it who will receive 10% of the sale, which is to be invested in the site and the community.

I am selling the site because i am unable to give it the attention it needs and would like to see someone from within the industry take it over, and hope it will fall into good and capable hands.
