That said there may be items that you feel are your "secret sauce" then let users know that if they want that information, they need to DM you or you will tell them what you do generally and then tell them you will provide all the details/contacts etc. post sale.
I provided complete transparency, with regards to reports, traffic, what I used for Adwords campaigns, monthly revenues and exact expenses. I also provided information on how I built/got content for all the sites. I answered all questions as they came in and even created secondary admin accounts so users could see statistics etc. in real time. (only if they requested by DM)
My lowest selling site was $800 and my most was $18,500 the user that bought that site re-skinned it and flipped it 6 months later for $72k, with less traffic and sales then what I had .. clearly I didn't know what I was selling, these were "fun" projects for me, that I got bored quickly, i find the fun in coming up and executing and once it get's to maintenance, I find I lose some interested. There are perfectly legit sites out there, you just have to dig and do your research.
for buying, I bought 3 sites, 2 of which were under $500. one site I bought for $2k was a total scam! The user falsified all the data and I fell for it. I was able to get my money back through google payments though.
one of the users on here recommended using Escrow, I'd agree.
If your selling a legitimate site and can document all the elements of the business for users, you should be able to get good value for it. Just be careful! There are a lot of scammers on the site.
- Currently you can only compare 2 items. (love the idea of more though)
- You can set your Swayables as private so they don't go for public voting, so you can send it to just 1 person or share on your social networks.
- Regarding items that don't have pictures - You can use any website or search any term to find an image, it's all automated, so if you do want to create a Swayable for "Africa or China" just enter those terms into our search box for Africa, then the other item for china and we'll show you image results.
- Agree with the natural and easy, working through a new revision now to make this more intuitive and better looking. The iPhone app is coming soon as well, so you can create Swayables on the go.
- Captcha, thanks for the feedback on this one.
- Thank you for the ajax tip as well.
Totally appreciate you taking the time to provide such constructive feedback, and for checking out the site...

I basically structure my inbox with categories (like categorizing tasks but doing it with email) and send myself emails of individual action items that get categorized.
Then I can filter by category and focus on 1 project at a time.. been working great for me for several years and I feel insanely more productive!
