I'm curious to hear from people who buy or sell projects on sites like these about how they value the projects. I look at prices on sites like this from time to time, and no two of them seem to be valued according to the same principles. I'd be interested in participating in this market, but when the prices seem arbitrary like that I assume I'll end up a sucker, and stay out.

I am going to introduce a 2nd param - valuation (calculated by the team) which would be calculated by the algorithm. Buyer would have a choice if they want to consider our valuation or user's.

This is the rough idea tough, will try to get feedback on the same and improve it further.

Why not just get a 409A and post it with the listing?

What's a 409A and how does it work?

Sound's neat! I've signed up for your mailing list and will keep an eye out.

Valuation is a hard topic, at least four well know methods with lots of fuzzy parts. Sites like this require you do do your own diligence - which itself is hard work. It takes a lot of practice.
