Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
It has been a while since the last time this was asked. Would love to see an updated version for 2015.
Previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7656154 ↗
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2015 where @anto210 convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.

I was thinking about this HackerNews post last night and it got me thinking that small acquisitions are quite interesting. So I created a little site http://startupsale.co ↗ as a place to facilitate people that want to sell/buy startups. Would love to hear everyones thoughts.
I'm selling my SaaS project. It's profitable but I don't have time to focus on marketing. Link to the flippa listing is in my profile.
We are currently looking to acquire established projects with revenue, budget up to 6 figures. Email me with details (address in profile).
This one needs more attention than I have time for: https://resumejoy.com ↗
