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 built http://bidwars.net (try 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...

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.

I'm curious is it normal for people to sell for 2x yearly revenue?

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.

The minimum bid is 10k and the yearly revenue is 6k, though; the buy it now is 50k.

2x yearly is standard now for a business with at least 2 years proven history on sales and traffic.

I own 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.

My other account seems to be blocked, so using this throwaway account.

I'm selling 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 have http://www.autotweeter.in to sell , its a shareware autotweeting desktop application which tweets from a preset excel sheet.Have made sales over two years.Its paying my rent & other monthly expenses.approx sales of 300$/month.Also ranks in first page of google for autotweeter related keywords.Can sell more if you advertise the product and make video demos.I can give you paypal reports if you contact me at sales@autotweeter.in

We built 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

Do you pay for the scrap cars? I didn't see that on there. Just curious...

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

We built 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.
