I have a website I built and I’d like to sell it ( http://freeforexsms.com ) because I just don’t have time to add more features and continue development. Now selling websites is no new thing to me or some cryptic ordeal. But my complaint is that there is no place where you can sell for free. The old adage really does go everywhere; You gotta spend money to make money.
Here are some places where you can sell websites.
Probably one of the best places I’ve seen solely dedicated to selling websites and they do a very good job. I hate their fees though, that goes without saying.
- Listing Fee: $19
- Success Fee: 5%
- Maximum Success Fee: $498
- Minimum Success Fee: $5
It cost’s me $20 just to even list my site for sale on there? Damn. I wouldn’t mind that if I was asking for a bit more. Here is their complete pricing structure because they do take a percentage of the sale. I think I’ll pass on listing here.
The Digital Point forums area haven for webmasters. Not just for selling and buying websites and scripts, there’s a lot of discussion and help on various aspects of web development, search engines, internet marketing, and the like. I tried to post my site for sale in their for sale section, but was unable to.
You must have been a member for 14 days, not have an overall red reputation and have 25 total posts to post in the Buy, Sell or Trade forum (which includes link exchanges) or the Politics & Religion forum.
Now being a member for 14 days was no problem, I’ve been registered since May 25, 2007. However, I never had made any posts yet. I don’t want to spam their forum, and it’s probably a large enough forum where I can start posting and in a few days I’ll easily have 25 posts, but that’s not the point. I can’t really nag on these guys for this rule, it weeds out a lot of crap that would probably get posted there.
Ebay was my last idea only because I don’t know of any other free places (well, next to free) to list. Ebay will definitely take the least amount from my sale.
I’m not even going to try and explain Ebay’s fee schedule here, it’s way too complicated. But here is a link to it: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html
So my question is, where can one freely list a website for sale? Because I cannot find a decent reliable place for this. Does one even exist?
