We sold kiko.com on ebay for $250k.
If you can drum up enough coverage, it works quite well. The key is getting coverage - the more people know it's up for sale, the more people will bid.
- parker 19y agoJust curious - did you guys put a reserve on that auction?
- emmett 19y ago$50,000. It was met very early, but the price went from $70k to $250k in the last 2 hours.

- sanswork 19y agoA business isn't a digitally downloaded good. Edit: just to clarify they are referring to things like "eBook teaching you how to make $1,000,000 a day by doing nothing!" type sales
- attack 19y agoKiko didn't sell the business (right?) They just sold the product. So I'm not convinced.
- sanswork 19y agoFrom what I understand they sold the domain and software which was the business. That said eBay is specifically referring to the type of digital good that can be duplicated endlessly. A website is a single thing. You can run the software that runs it on another domain but you are not duplicating the site itself. Which is why I don't believe it would run afoul of this rule.
