I read this quote from Andrew Wilkinson (co-founder of Tiny Capital):<p>&quot;There are all these cool products that are on Product Hunt. Every day you think &quot;that&#x27;s cool&quot;. But most of them fizzle.&quot;<p>I know this from my own personal experience and I think this is also true for many other developers like me. We build fun little side projects, launch them on Product Hunt, but let them fizzle afterwards.<p>&quot;A lot of the time it&#x27;s started by a developer and the developer doesn&#x27;t understand how to market and grow something.&quot;<p>And even when some of the developers do have the knowledge how to market and grow something, they&#x27;re often not interested in it as much as creating something.<p>... read more from my blog about why I built this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;saashacks.io&#x2F;buy-my-side-project" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;saashacks.io&#x2F;buy-my-side-project</a><p>I hope you like it!

The number of Chrome extensions available for sale is scary: most buyers of extensions &quot;monetize&quot; in user-hostile ways, earlier this week, I had Bing ads being injected into Google search results - fortunately, I only had 2 extensions installed so it wasn&#x27;t hard to find which one was responsible. Extensions that are granted access to all sites are a security nightmare.

If anyone is seriously looking to buy a project, they care how much revenue it currently generates. Even if that number is zero, and you are just buying the code, buyers need to know where things currently stand.

There is another use for this resource - a guide to all the chrome extensions up for sale, and therefore should be pre-emptively uninstalled. There is a lesson there, in the whole &quot;Great Suspender&quot; malware case.

Wait, are you selling this site on your site (listed at $10)?<p>Because someone is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;buymysideproject.com&#x2F;startups&#x2F;buymysideproject" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;buymysideproject.com&#x2F;startups&#x2F;buymysideproject</a>

The most valuable thing you could do is add bidding and acceptance to the site. Obviously a lot more work, but if you’re serious that’s the way to make your own value and give value to sellers and buyers.

Product hunt is mostly results of someone else’s Fail Fast approach. If you buy one of these, the project will fail twice.

These types of marketplaces always turn into low-quality listings for side projects that have never made money, listed for $$$, created by people who have never made money online.<p>When I was toying with the idea of selling my business last year, and other side projects in the past, I looked for a legit website where I could list my business alongside other like-businesses, but I never found one. There are brokers, but those are annoying to deal with and I feel the sector is ripe for a good marketplace with vetted listings.<p>There&#x27;s no way a real business owner is going to list their sale alongside the usual noise these websites eventually produce. It looks bad and the chances of finding a real buyer seem very slim.

Seen this startup acquisition marketplace? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;microacquire.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;microacquire.com&#x2F;</a>

It&#x27;s like a themeforest.net but for web products, yay.<p>On a serious note it sounds like a great idea but it is not. Unless the coding monkey comes packaged in the price. Why would I want to maintain and try to sell someone elses code? It would probably be less effort to just reverse engineer any of those. But maybe I&#x27;m wrong and there are actually people wiling to buy this stuff.

Great solution, I&#x27;ve been thinking about how to sell my side-project the past couple weeks. POST request to &#x27;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;buymysideproject.com&#x2F;new" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;buymysideproject.com&#x2F;new</a>&#x27; is throwing a 500 btw.

I don&#x27;t ask for everything to be dispayed in public, but there&#x27;s too much information. One of the projects falls inside one of my market expertises, but they just copypasted their APP store pitch.<p>IDK, it&#x27;s not very appealing.

Is there a submission queue? I submitted my project Stock Inspector but it didn&#x27;t show up immediately.
