Now Served on eBay — Startups and Internet firms

by Ujwal Tickoo on May 25th, 2007

USA Today carried a story by Michelle Kessler on start-ups listing on eBay for getting auctioned. Check out this link on eBay with the actual listing of Internet Businesses old or start-ups interested to sell themselves. In the eBay listing there is a mix of the genuine to the regular. There are several sites that deal with adult content. Googal is playing on the name of Google and asking for a price of $ 750,000 stating that it is getting a traffic of 2 million PageViews per month.

The highest listed price I see today is 10 million for www.money-palace.com — apparently "a great domain name opportunity."

On the serious side USA Today notes the genuine sites:

Search engine DigForIt.com sold for $25,400 this month after promising bidders "great revenue potential." SynapseLife, an online calendar and organizational site, sold for $60,000 despite warning it had "no advertising revenue."
