They have ~2500 emails, no socials and seemingly only a few backlinks to startup listing websites. That does not seem worth 10k to me. What do you think?
My side-project only had ~500 email subscribers, no MRR, but pretty good domain authority because it marketed itself. And still it got acquired only after 3 months!
Honestly I'd probably never trust a business doing this. From my POV they're probably just after cash from a buyer, not a good place for my data.
I know I'm probably an outlier though, I don't think I've seen anyone else note a lack of privacy policy on the names one for example
> 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…
Any advice on actually finding the idea that is worth doing? I have a notion page with 20+ tiny ideas, but I still don't find any of them encouraging enough to spend time on. How to overcome this very first step?
If the idea is tiny, they literally should take no longer than 2 weeks. Just start an hour a day at night or in the morning and chip away an hour by hour. Managed to get a tiny idea I had live in 2 months doing it like this

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.

I never used it in any of my projects nor I know anyone using it. I just had an itch of learning Clojure and building libraries for android, and iOS, so I made them.

It is the same advice you hear for any other project - solve a problem. The projects that work are the ones that solve people's problems. The ones that fail are the ones that try to create solutions for problems people do not have.
