In the past two years we’ve seen over 1154 web 2.0 start-ups, based on the logo count of GoWeb20. Unfortunately, not all start-ups make it which created a new type of commodity: web 2.0 sites for sale.
As reported by Techcrunch earlier this month, Web 2.0 for sale is
a marketplace for Web 2.0 sites, creating an alternative for the typical Google/ Ebay exit for entrepreneurs in dire need of cash.
The board was created by Edgio, and offers a publishing platform for programming code, domains, prototypes and of course, the complete website suites. $10 will get you an ad for 30 days.
On the site you can find listings for as little as a few bucks or as much as $1.25 Million, as in the case of PayByCellphone that is selling its complete operation.
Other message boards in this niche include Venture Board and eBay.
