When you're looking to buy new sites, how do you go about pricing out a fair and reasonable price?
I am looking at buying a couple of similar sites I have found and I thought I would ask for your opinion. I know when I am looking at buying another company like mine (answering service) we price it out based on the equipment, type/number of accounts and an equation of the monthly gross.
Thanks for any information or guidance if you have bought or sold sites before. I have bought one other site before, but won't sure if I was completely fair to both sides. I don't think either of us got taken, but in this, it will be a bit more money, so I would like to consider all opinions.

- Do you do similar things for website?
- What is the multiplier for the revenue of the site? 7 months? 12 months? more, less?
- Do you pay per user that is active? If the site has 2200 users, but only 300 of them are active do you consider it a site of '2200' or '300'?
- Do you pay for content? If it has 23,000 messages in 1800 threads, how do you calculate this?
