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 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 :)

Typically sites on Flippa.com sell for a multiple of 18 months profit. Sites that are selling for 5 figure sums or higher can be 2-3 years profit multiple. As with most things though, it's only really worth what someone else is prepared to pay. The domain might be more valuable to someone than the site for instance.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is not true: https://developers.facebook.com/policy/#data > You may cache data you receive through use of the Facebook API in order to improve your application’s user experience, but you should try to keep the data up to date. This permission does not give you any rights to such data.

Although it's not specifically in their terms, FB has a history[1] of trying to prevent unfriending apps (it's a cat and mouse game). [1] http://socialfixer.com/blog/2013/10/27/facebook-doesnt-want-...

Yes, I'm aware of this. But the applications they went after adjusted Facebook (injected into the DOM), instead of leveraged their API to provide functionality through a Facebook canvas app, or externally.

You could try https://flippa.com/ I don't know how big of a cut they take but they have a bidding process, you could also open it to the public.

but they charge an upfront fees of min $9, any free alternative to flippa?

Almost free alternative for now http://talkbig.co

Leader blog in this niche. I don't want to sell but I would be interested in having a valuation.

Revenue: ~$100/month (adsense and amazon affiliates).

Costs: $0 (tumblr hosted) + ~2-4 hours curation/month.

Stable 4k uniques/month.

http://getforge.com/ - a superfast static web hosting service. Some clever tech, a bunch of users, very little support and brings in money. It's a nice project, but its success is more important than our owning it. Someone else will be able to do more with it than us :)

Pixter: http://pixter.in

Like Instagram, but for more privacy conscious users. It's ad-free so users have to pay a yearly fee for using the app similar to App.net. Has support for comments, likes, push notifications and live filters.

We couldn't market it properly and also people were not as willing to pay as we had expected so we want to sell it.

Includes the iPhone app, the fully responsive web app and the backend. Code can be reused to make any type of photo/selfie sharing app.
