  On Flippa, you can always lower the Buy it Now and Reserve, but not raise it. Generally on Flippa, sites go for about 12 x monthly earnings. So if you can pay your rent in SF (I assume $1500-2400/mo) with this site, you're looking at $18,000 to $28,800. You can obviously get more or less, depending on a few factors. Some things that boost the sale price are matching social network accounts (I had a Twitter account with about 2000 followers that boosted the price of a site I sold), old domains, high pagerank, or unique content (like thousands of articles or an ebook).

    thats an interesting statistic. they value at one year's revenue? i actually have a twitter account with 2700 followers, among which are snoop dogg, bill maher, sarah silverman, doug benson, and a few others.

      thats an interesting statistic. they value at one year's revenue? For traditional small businesses, you'd get 3-5 times earnings, but a basic website goes for less. The thinking is that a restaurant or hair salon would have equipment that could be liquidated, or regular customers you could count on to bring in revenue. A website could easily lose all its traffic, be blacklisted by Google, or have a competing site knock it of its pedestal.
