The stats are a bit confusing on the home page. 1,100 stores and millions of views but only $32k in revenue generated?

Those stats will need to be changed as they are from the 'old' project on which SellApp was based/rebuilt (toffee.com), but they are indeed correct. That platform didn't convert particularly well, heh.

For a view of current stats - updated daily: https://sell.app/stats

oh hey! you're the toffee guy. Did you swap the name because it was bad, or are you selling the domain? I thought the novelty of the toffee.com domain would be quite valuable to users -- but clearly not.

Hey, I am indeed! I actually obtained the toffee.com domain on a lease from a company (venture.com) back when funds were very limited and the lease made sense.

When I raised funding earlier this year and inquired about a potential outright purchase of toffee.com, the answer was that they didn't want to sell.

So instead of staying on the lease plan (which'd increase by a sizable amount y/o/y), I started looking for a suitable domain we could purchase outright, and luckily found sell.app for sale.
