Hey, I wonder if I know anyone that built something and sold it to Yahoo!?

  does it still make money?

    Yahoo Stores does.
    • netcan 18y ago
      I know it still operates. I meant do you think it's still profitable? They do have a higher pricing table then most comparable services, so maybe. But it's not an easy biz to be in.

      Cool, where did you get your source for this? I've been trying to find a breakdown of which services make money, as far as I can tell they don't even track it internally at Yahoo for every service, which is why I couldn't find any data for yahoo store.

        Sorry I interpreted his question/comment "make money" as "still exists and has revenue" not "has profits" since many companies that are acquired become defunct surprisingly quick (see: Broadcast.com & many of Google's acquisitions). I was only speaking in terms of my own knowledge. The baseball team I used to work for (Toledo Mud Hens) used Yahoo Stores to power our online store.

          Still gets mentioned whenever someone posts a 'how to start an online shop' post.
