35k seems ok for the 350k email list and the site dev + content...could just convert the moddle to a lead gen site or the like

Found this funny at the end, (with Google not being owed a cent)

In terms of how the company operated, Mr Holzman said more than 50% of its revenue was spent on Google AdWords. “Check-in was spending huge amounts on Google,” he said. “You’re probably looking at $500,000 a month, sometimes more.”

However, Google is not a creditor. Its bill was paid every month by automated withdrawal.

Seems like a reasonable price
