http://instantserver.io Provisions you an ubuntu vm instantly for free with web terminal access. It got some love here at one point [0]. Fraud, business model, and personal availability problems all struck at once, so I had to turn it off. I'm confident they could all be fixed. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5861749
[link redacted] - a site I've made with a friend back in 2008. It requires absolutely no maintenance and earns a few hundred bucks a month. Tried selling it, but the best offer we got was somewhere around 10k $, which is way below our expectations. Now actually working on renovating it and probably adding some new content and features.
I maintain the site http://sideprojectors.com Would love to hear your comments & feedback on how things can be improved to help you sell your side projects. Personally, it's been quite rewarding to see people exchanging messages and actually buy & sell side projects.
Is it for sale?
4k in sales a month with NO ADS in the past 16 months * I own Facebook.com/strapbacks Strapbacks.com and it is starting to get boring! Looking to get out! I have an awesome supplier in NYC and LA.
Rainbow Shopping List ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chak.rainb... ) - Android app with 12k+ downloads and 2k+ active users - Cost to run: ~$6-7 (hosting + domain)
And a bunch of other apps. Check them out at https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Chak+Develop...
Just landed a new job so I don't think I'll have time to actively maintain these projects anymore.

http://errorlevelanalysis.com was a side project of mine that ballooned out to modest popularity (100k+ monthly uniques), although it was something that I never charged for. It's something that I decided I don't have time for myself, but perhaps it could suit someone else.
I created http://easypromocodes.com to generate business cards with promo codes for iOS apps. The site was created with PHP, Moo.com API, the iTunes API, and the Google link shortener. I needed this myself and never really marketed the site. I found it useful to create promo code give aways when attending trade shows for some of the other iOS apps I developed (the iJuror iPad app for attorneys is the example shown on…
Edit: I see you have it listed on SideProjectors. Is $25,000 correct or a typo? Doesn't quite line up well with 10 users a month :)
Below are two projects we have that could use a little more love. We may not be looking to sell them per se but would be willing to explore sharing in some of the equity/upside with the right person that wants to run with them. www.scriblink.com One of the largest online whiteboards. Built on old technology, needs a refresh but makes some respectable money every day from ads and monthly subscriptions. www.groupie.co…
http://mmabuzzsaw.com/ MMA News aggregator. 12,000 uniques per month. Aggregator / 30k pageviews. No ads right now, but could easily add them.
Did you build the sites yourself (aside from the blog) or is it built on a cms? Also, where you do you get your traffic from? I can't imagine a site like this indexes well in search engines.
And you are correct, not a huge search footprint due to the lack of unique / authoritative content, but it's got good rankings where it matters - "mma news aggregator" => #1. :)
We weren't really making any money ,so I sold out my half of the company to a business guy. My former dev partner then went on with the business guy to make it a half-million a year business with about 4 hours a week of maintenance work.
Of course, I truly believe it wouldn't have gone anywhere if we didn't bring in a business dev guy, and I can't see any reason in retrospect why I should have expected their business to do so well once I left, but...
Seller beware! :-)
