Would you be willing to share how much that sold for back then?

  I think $3500? At it's peak it was making around $200/m, so that is a bit more than the 12x monthly rate that websites used to go for. It was making a fair bit less when I sold, though, I just didnt have the time to keep it updated. In hindsight, there are some websites I used to run that I really wish I could tell my younger self to keep running. I had a little video site (pre-youtube) that was doing well, a few forums (although those were an absolute pain to keep active), a link shortener (that got my server shut down over, as spammers found it useful), a music video site for myspace. When I was 15, I hired a programmer on scriptlance to build me a php script to run a site I had sketched up. The project never really materialized, but the programmer I hired was none other than a (then 15~ year old) Guillermo Rauch, who later went on to author socket.io, mongoose, and found Zeit. I like to think I did my small part to help him on his path to being such a prolific programmer :]
