www.dieseltruckresource.com worth $98,280

Hi guys,

I've been a lurker for quite a few months, but i decided to register on the
forums today some of you guys are quite a friendly bunch (from surfing
around earlier).

I'm just a little curious (actually very, very intrigued) though. I was
searching for a old thread i read some time back on the forum via google and
i spotted that that this site** is worth *$98,280* from this url
http://www.protrackr.com/www.dieseltruckresource.com/

Seriously? that's pretty **** impressive in my books. Must be you guys
posting everyday and contributing. anyway, just thought you guys might want
to know... yes i heard web 2.0 and community is priceless but that's
errrr... is seriously wild. I wonder if it was calculated like a dollar a
post or something.

ok i gotta fix my sig... so much for being tech stupid.

regards,
Jeb

It probably IS worth 2.6 million, but you have to take into account depreciation factors. For instance, YOU are here so that removes about $2.502 million right off the top. Then I'M here, so that adds about $300.00, hence the $98,280 valuation.

Welcome to the website Jeb.

You can contact our CEO Lary Ellis (Top) for the exact value of DTR. I think that number you posted is a little on the low side.

DTR is actually for sale, but not for that low of a price. I don't know how they do their calculations, but since they have no indicator of our yearly revenue, they are quite low on the value.

I hope it does not change either. I'd hate to do this for someone that do not share the same values that Jack and Lary have.

I agree. Everything but my wife and kids. I almost sold my truck one time, even!

Things won't change. It's not going to be a sellout like CF and a couple of the other ones were. We'll find the right buyer, someone who actually cares about diesel trucks and not just revenue. I promise you we'll take our time on this one. Lary and I have been doing this for 10 years, and it's time to move on, and just be a member.
