#325k sounds like an incredibly small amount of money. The equivalent of a week's salary in the US. What could you build in a week that would be in a position to be sold that you couldn't develop slightly longer for significantly more than 5k profit? Edit: whether it's literally a week or a few weeks my question still remains. What could you build that would be ready to be sold in such a short amount of time that you co…
$5K a week? That's about a quarter of a million a year ... is that a typical US salary?
No, it's about 5x a typical US salary.

It’s typical tech salary for people with ~5+ years of experience doing something interesting.

#40Is anyone at HN interested in selling a project for under 5k? I’m interested in the concept, node.js applications preferred. Minimal amount of profit is also somewhat preferred. My email is my username + varela @ the google mail.
I don't think I'd let a profit making project go for under $5k, but have fun shopping and I hope you find what you're looking for!
For businesses that have not been aggressively monetized, the $5k range is not an uncommon number. This is often due to the creator not being interested in monetization.
A $5k price tag is roughly $100 a month in profit/SDI (seller discretionary income), and there are a lot of good projects that could have much more revenue that are currently at or below the $100/mo SDI level.
Fwiw, while you not be the target market, there are many sellers (of businesses in general) that like to see something they made grow, even if the growth is done by someone else.
