I sold my tiny project on microacquire marketplace, last time I checked there were even more low priced projects there, indeed it's an awesome way to experience an "EXIT" on a smaller scale :)
Something feels off if I need an account to even see their listings. I cannot tell if they are legit, or just a landing page for someone trying to get rolling.
not just an email, your linkedin profile is required too.

#54I do see an increasing number of projects being posted on my little website too
https://www.sideprojectors.com
The original premise of SideProjectors was to buy and sell small indie projects. Over the years, I've seen many many of these small projects (often ecommerce shops, dropshipping businesses, but at times quite interesting ones too) being submitted.
As a side note (pun intended) - I've been also watching out for off-the-shelf template softwares that are being posted and making sure they are filtered out. As an example, you can buy a "Privacy respecting Google Analytics Alternative, launch your own SaaS" from themeforest for $49, repackaged and being sold in many places. Their pitches are usually similar.. "hey, I developed this, but haven't had time to do marketing, it has so much potential, just need someone to take over and start making that passive income".

#55> Giving your project to a stranger on the internet is risky, so we used escrow.com to make the transfer. I sold a website on Flippa once. The buyer put the money on Escrow.com, I transferred everything over, and they went AWOL. What I found out is that there is no straightforward way to obtain the funds when it happens. Apparently there is no way at all except via the court system. Which would mean the only real pro…
Germany's biggest Craigslist-like service recently added a service like this for purchases that are shipped. I sold my previous MacBook using the system and found it really stressful to wait for the buyer to confirm the item. In my case, it was just someone who was a little bit slow and just forgot, but I can imagine abuse in the system. Same thing happens with PayPal buyer's protection. I can't think of a better sys…
What's the name of the service? I suppose you're not thinking of ebay kleinanzeigen, or?
Re: Selling Tiny Internet Projects for Fun and Profit
#56A little OT but for anyone with experience - is the negotiation depicted realistic / typical? The final selling price is over twice the buyer's initial offer and almost 150% of what they said at one point is their max. I know it's a textbook negotiation but (obviously not having too much experience negotiating) I never thought that's really how they work in real life.

#57This thread has an astroturf feel. I wonder who is making the money here and how?

Not the parent, but I think they do actually mean eBay Kleinanzeigen. A few months ago they added a service like this but afaik it’s still in beta and also not available for all categories yet.

According to their FAQ, funds are automatically released after the inspection period.
The inspection period can last for up to 30 days, and is agreed upon by all parties at the beginning of the transaction.

Would a smart contract help avoid this kind of situation?
Yup. Just need to specify the conditions of what "done" or "delivered" looks like. After that it's basically: if (delivered) pay();
> Just need to specify the conditions of what "done" or "delivered" looks like
Since it's "just" so simple, can you better explain what those done/delivered conditions might look like? And preferably how that would also be more secure than Escrow.com?
