Ask HN: How to sell iOS app names and dev account?

3 pointsby craigjbalmost 11 years ago
The company I helped co-found in 2007, Mango LLC, made several apps that hit the AppStore the day it opened: Homework and iShopping. Both are horribly dated now (from high school days), and my partners and I have agreed to dissolve our LLC. Are the app names worth selling anymore? I know the AppStore search used to weigh the app name very heavily, but I&#x27;ve been out of the development loop for awhile. If we can sell them, what&#x27;s the best way to do it?<p>Thanks!

Unlikely the names are worth anything unless the apps have good search rankings for important keywords. If they are still making sales they are worth something though.

It may have some value, as App name strings must be absolutely unique (or was it always like that?)<p>You could try posting on flippa or apptopia.
