In the last comment on the Sitepoint auction, the creator mentions that he earned $30 from Google ads. While this is during (probably) a peak in traffic due to all the buzz around his site, let's assume he averages $50/day from Google ads. Unless he comes up with a solid revenue model, gets some sponsors or his site takes off even more, he'd be making around $1500/month. Selling for $25,000, on the other hand, could allow him to invest in another more promising idea. All that aside, I'm still not sure if I'd do what he has done.
