They will get crushed on flippa. On flippa your value is about 10 month incomes worth - this is the market right now. So if they did $1000/m for the last couple of months (neto) they would get $10,000, $11,000 tops.

Your assumption that these photos can not be sold is simply false. Maybe you specifically won't pay but i would. I pay for premium services when i need graphics. Think of an instagram api you can get access to and showcase pictures with tags x,y that are popular within your service.

propercoil··on Ask HN: Open source app idea. Get rid of my gun app
Listen powatom, I think we aren't going to change each other's opinions. In my past life i lived in a war zone, been to the army and witnessed first hand what governments can do. Our country is no different, it can easily escalate in the same way here.

There is a clear pattern in history for tyrannical regimes. Every enlightened society in history thought the same as you do now, there is absolutely no difference except that today, citizens can trackback and view what happened in the past and maybe fight for there freedoms and prepare themselves. Gun control is the most frightening thing for me and for millions of Americans because we know that martial law will come soon after.

The only thing i can think of that would maybe make you look at it from a different angle is asking let's say, your grandparents (if they are alive) their thoughts about it. If you do that i bet you'd be very surprised by their input.

Well Hitler was pro banning guns for a reason and so does any other tyrannical regime. Here is what happens shortly after: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15KLhgZaRvc

The whole point of the 2nd amendment is to be able to form a militia if the government gets big and tries to take your liberty. You don't need artillery, just a small percentage of resistance like the small percentage that fought the british

How is it that you can't see that banning weapons will quickly escalate to other things even in the tech world? "Let's ban X because someone met a group using service Y and killed them", "Let's regulate X because Y happened, hey we did that with guns".

The 2nd amendment is 2nd for a reason. banning guns will strip you freedom more than anything else. Every once in a while there is a horrible incident that the government can use to blame the 2nd amendment. A guy in china just stabbed 20 people yesterday so let's ban knifes. Is this logical to you?. Just imagine the power grab that will happen when you won't have access to weapons in order to protect yourself.

propercoil··on Ask HN: Can we brainstorm a list of niche site ideas like Bingo Card Creator?
I own a niche website that sells a digital service that i started in june. It gets 5-8 sales a month now (each of $30) and raked 1700 people who registered in the past to a mailchimp email list. It has the potential of making >120 sales a month with a good push from seo, email campaigns and the like. I haven't touched the website for 2 months and i'm considering selling it if someone is interested. Maybe even something else? if anyone owns a website that sales, maybe we can take percentage out of each others websites and spice it up?
