Well, that's a lot of pent-up supply of side projects!

It seems like a natural buyer would be someone like a student who wants to kick the tires of the whole running a small business thing, but start with a better baseline than merely "from scratch", mitigating some market risks, as it were, and reusing existing code.

What I like about this is that rather than all the research and development going to waste, it's helping someone else. So if you want to start a new thing, you can try to buy the closest thing that's already there, and stand on the shoulders of the previous generation.

There's an idea for a market place lurking in there somewhere. not so much from "get the most cash for your side project", but from the "find a good use for your old work" angle. I have a couple of projects I want to offload myself, and I care more about them being put to good use than about finding the highest bidder or whatever.

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.

I might be interested. Can you please email me basic revenue and traffic data?

I made http://www.pastemehere.com (a screenshot sharing utility) but never got time to promote and make money out of it, still running on my server. Though its not much but still would be happy to get anything for it. It doesnt store images on my server but on imgur anonymously so saving you disk space on server ;)
