Sell HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell? (#2, July Edition)

22 points by dennybritz 13y ago

I loved the old Sell HN thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5803374 Are there any new/other projects up for sale? Also feel free to post updates on projects you've posted in the previous thread.

I own http://ltdex.com http://ltdex.com and would like to sell it, you would get the IP to the designs (plus about 10 others, that are not listed on the website, due to being sold out), the domain, the wordpress ecomm site, 50 printed shirts, and another 100 blank shirts (all american apparel). This would be perfect for someone looking to hone social media/PR skills, as you'd be able to do some decent analytics. The site generates 1-300$/mo in revenue, and I could provide contacts at fab.com (we had a sale last summer on fab). just email me anthony@makerops.com, Im looking for something in the 4 figures. I am launching makerops and have a 9-5, so I don't have time to put into it.

I built http://bidwars.net http://bidwars.net (try http://pittmaplemiss.bidwars.net/ http://pittmaplemiss.bidwars.net/ for an active group). It's currently for sale on Flippa and the auction has more details: https://flippa.com/2944217-craigslist-competitor-with-14-700-uniques-mo-making-500-mo https://flippa.com/2944217-craigslist-competitor-with-14-700... Summary: It's the love child of eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook. 7,200 users since January 2013. Currently making around $550/m in AdSense revenue. Growth has stabilized. Roughly 20,000 pageviews a day from 3k visitors. Stack: LAMP + CodeIgniter, Saas, Coffeescript and jQuery. skype: gr33nw00d, email: dr.greenwood@gmail.com

  It looks really nice. The filters are nice too and update the content quickly.

  I'm curious is it normal for people to sell for 2x yearly revenue?
  - iSloth 13y ago
    Buy it now price are normally always too high that no one goes for them. Bid price normally goes for around 1 to 1.5 x yearly profit on Flippa, unless it's a really unique and valuable site.
    - ameister14 13y ago
      The minimum bid is 10k and the yearly revenue is 6k, though; the buy it now is 50k.
      - jnasty 13y ago
        2x yearly is standard now for a business with at least 2 years proven history on sales and traffic.

We built https://kishkee.com https://kishkee.com a while ago. We never did any advertising for it but it still has bunch of paying, very active users but we really don't have the time to work on it. Would love for it to go to a good home.

I'm looking to sell http://diglig.com http://diglig.com. Diglig is a context aware personal assistant which manages all your tasks at one location and then makes smart recommendations on how to complete them. We were offered $40K of seed money by Ycombinator competitor about 1 year ago but we declined at that time due to some conditions which they put in front of us. After that my partner moved out of state due to job change and I had a kid, so no more time to work on it.

My other account seems to be blocked, so using this throwaway account. I'm selling http://diglig.com http://diglig.com. Diglig is a context aware task management application which consolidates all of users events from calendars, emails and social networks at one centralized location and then it makes smart recommendations on how to complete their tasks. Our efforts were recognized by one of the YCombinators competitor and we were offered $40k of seed money. However, due to circumstances at that time we were unable to take the offer. Since then my partner moved out of state due to job change and I had a kid, so no more time to work on it.

I run an ecommerce site, filled with product, all drop-shipped, and not to mention, it's beautiful designed. If you market it well, and are good with ppc, you could do very nicely. See it here: http://www.vivafedora.com/ http://www.vivafedora.com/ Maybe would be willing to sell for four figures. I didn't pay for much advertising, unless you consider a few fiver jobs advertising... Contact me at info@vivafedora.com thanks!

We built http://www.ukscrap.com http://www.ukscrap.com which was geared towards people sending leads for these cars automatically to agents around the country who would contact the seller. We were doing around $2-$3,000 a month a couple of years ago but have focused on other things and have let this go. It would be ideal for someone who has the time to run something like this as it will take time and human interaction with the agents
- gadders 13y ago
  Do you pay for the scrap cars? I didn't see that on there. Just curious...
  - inovica 13y ago
    Sorry, should have given a bit of the model. No - basically we pass leads to people and then when they pick a car up they send us money. There's an element of 'honour' system here but it could be tightened up if necessary
