Anyone seen any companies on sale on ebay lately?  I found this story interesting.

More than 10 dot-coms have recently sought buyers on the popular auction site. Search engine DigForIt.com sold for $25,400 this month after promising bidders "great revenue potential." SynapseLife, an online calendar and organizational site, sold for $60,000 despite warning it had "no advertising revenue."

Surprisingly, eBay isn't always the best place to sell online (or offline) businesses - you can normally get a better price for your business by selling elsewhere.
However, for coverage alone it's hard to beat eBay. |

| very true. ebay has a huge audience but whether they search for what you are selling is sometimes a bit hard to predict. i personally never even realised people were selling businesses on ebay so it would have been the LAST place i would have looked. |
