Any specific reason you aren't showing the actual selling price on the "Recently Sold Startups" section?

After interviewing all founders who sold the project, I always asked one question. "What was the actual selling price?" And 100% of founders replied the same number as it was in the asking price.

And you think this is accurate?

It's a tricky question. One man's trash is another man's treasure. The concept of relative value is especially acute in this market. Person A may be willing to pay $1,000 for a project, while Company B may be willing to pay $5,000.

In my opinion, prices are pretty accurate on the platform. However, you should count the work done(hours spent), marketing activities, tech expenses(domain, hosting), maintenance, customer support.

Every case is unique, so it's hard to tell about all listings at once.

What’s the real reason? Seems like you don’t want to do it.

To do what?
