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.
Greaterskies, http://greaterskies.com - sells posters of the sky, thousands of stars and all the planets as seen from a place and at a time. Selling PDF ($24) and printout. Seems to be getting popular as a wedding present, also for birthdays. Common lisp backend computing the posters, Python and Javascript for the rest. Very nice conversion rate, but I haven't found the time to work on improving the number of visits.
This is really nice! You should add some options for style though, I found the yellowish-names really hard to like. Whoever buys this needs to hire a print designer, if only to do minor correction to the basic template.
http://the.wubmachine.com , an automatic music remixing web + mobile app that I built a couple years ago. Still gets anywhere from 20-40k uniques/month. Has native iOS and Android clients, as well as the web app. Ads + in-app purchases generate a couple hundred bucks each month with nearly-zero maintenance, but I'm not sure I have the free time to keep it running indefinitely. - Costs under $50 per month to run - Gen…

The app is service agnostic, so it can be used with any streaming service. The only thing needed to add a new client is to create the frontend part, and link it to the back end APIs. Also, clients can add content from their own CMS and add it to the Promotor database through our APIs.
Currently there's only desktop support, but I'm working on adding mobile support for Android and iOS.
I consider selling it as I don't have much time to focus on. The domain is top and the site has a lot of potential once you manage to build a strong community - shouldn't be too complicated but requires advertising efforts.
Built on Asp.NET MVC/SQL Server, hosted as Azure website.
PM if interested.
scendr.com Makes sending hand written cards easy. Drop an email to note@scendr.com. Writers take care transcribing and sending. Churns out a good chunk each month. Could definitely scale further if you had the time and energy.
I have terrible hand-writing and a poor memory for birthdays. I'd like to schedule cards to be sent out, pre-writing them maybe a year in advance.
It means I can sit down and write all the birthday cards in one sitting, and then forget about them. Not really in the spirit of birthday's I know.
I would need to be able to cancel a card (should for example, an elderly relative die before their birthday).
Where are the cards sent from? I'm wondering what stamps get put on the envelope when sent internationally.

Established since 2011, we have still some customers from the very beginning.
It's not exactly a side project, it has been an established business for the last 3 years, but we've struggled to grow it with no success.
Looking for someone that could take it to the next level.
