The Big Eat http://www.thebigeat.com Menu and takeaway listings (mainly in the UK). Makes around $6,000 per year of Adsense. It's been fairly untouched since I started it in 2006. Has good pagerank for a lot of takeaway names. Costs are a Digital Ocean Droplet @ $5 a month = $60 per year.

Just wondering. You say it is basically untouched, and it generates a fair amount of revenue by itself. Why would you sell it? Why not just let is be and get the income?

http://www.learnpython.org + the rest of my tutorials I generate quite a lot of revenue for them from ads (about 500,000 hits per month), but they have so much potential and I don't have time to invest.

This is interesting, do you have a ballpark figure you'd accept? Feel free to email me, contact is in profile.

My side project is http://storifi.it

I dont have the time to work on it anymore, but i'd still like to see it do well.

Would prefer to discuss a large controlling interest rather than a complete sale for reasons i'm happy to discuss.

Contact mastermind at storifi.it

https://www.dailysitesnap.com/public This project takes screenshots of various URLs once a day. It's been a fun way to watch my side project grow up, and a number of other people receive daily emails. It could be an interesting business, but not really one I'd like to pursue. Email "adam at cameralends" if you're interested in it.

Which library/plugin you are using to take screenshot of urls ? I am working on a similar app based on Ruby on Rails and these days searching for a proper solution for taking screenshot of an url .

http://bp-chart.com - store you blood pressure records. Chart, statistics, table view. Share them with your doctor. "Take your pills" e-mail reminders. Over 5k registered users, 3.8k monthly visits. I haven't had time for it in the past 2 years. I keep it around because it really helps people and that gives me a warm feeling :-). It could surely use someone with a heart for marketing. At least a few monetization opti…

http://www.gemsinthejungle.com/ website+iOS app.

Product discovery for amazon-aholics. Don't have the money to invest in marketing right now, so I'm sitting on it till I have the capital and focusing on other projects.

ROI was a little under break even. I was marketing via amazon-fan subreddits. Theres a super simple CMS powering it as well (a google spreadsheet hack).

Willing to sell for 30k or looking for investment partners in the $5k range.

Just out curiosity, how much are you expecting to get for a site like that? I really have not clue how to calculate something like this. Hope it's not rude to ask :)

sites like that are going for around 5-6k on flippa.com. might bget more because of the history. but usually around 10-12mo revenue.
