Hello all Forumites!
I have decided to retire from the site work. It is not that I don't like it; I love it, but I am forced to focus my attention on other personal issues.
My wish is that the site will continue to exist but with another owner/webmaster.
The price is $25000 for
www.rickbeat.com ( I have put down many years of work and money in it)

There is something on that site that is causing my browser to crash. I am using IE7 with WindowsXP Pro. It has happened 3 times now.

Sorry to hear that. There shouldn't be any problems. I use IE7 and XP and it works. Maybe the applet?

Wow, Bjorn!
That's a shocker. Your site was the place to go for reference pics on most Rick models...a real Labor of Love, my friend.
I wish you the best of luck in selling the URL and please stay in touch and Keep On Rickin'!

I'm very sorry to hear that, Bjorn. I understand that's it's difficult and time consuming to maintain a 'labour of love' such as your site. I wish you all the best in finding a new keeper and hope that you have a happy 'retirement'. Please drop in here regularly, eh?
Hopefully I'll see you again at a confluence somewhere in the not too distant future.
