I’m busy ‘cleaning up’ certain sites with a view to selling them over the next few days.

I’m toying with the idea of bundling 6 or 7 sites together with a few domains and selling them as a package. Using sitepoint to sell, rather than DP or other forums.

Sitepoint is where the traffic and serious buyers are but at $20 a pop to list an auction, it wouldn’t make sense selling one of my small blog sites for maybe $60, as i’d lose out of the $20 it cost me to put it up.

Bundling sites together would ease the costs and it would also be much less hassle dealing with one person rather than 7 or 8 and trying to follow up funds, transfer to all sorts of different servers/accounts etc.

I’m hoping to raise about $750 with this new round of selling. I’ve also bought a featured ad listing on sedo.com for JPEGr and lowered the price expectation to around $2150. This cost $39 and means that jpegr.com will be listed on sedo’s homepage and randomly rotated for 30 days, plus top of it’s categories, so even if it doesn’t get any offers, it should get plenty of views and i’ll give out full statistics on that when i get them.

Many people feel a good domain will sell itself and paying for a featured spot is a waste of cash. It’s debateable. Sedo’s stats say a featured domain is 5 times more likely to sell than a non featured one. Having sold AuctionCrap though, i decided i’d use the cash to promote my other sites as it could be a wise move. I’ll just have to wait and see…

That’s not the selling price, it’s a recommendation, so it still leaves me open to offers. If the offer is right, i’ll accept. If not, i may lower the price on sedo slightly and if still unsuccessful i’ll add it to sitepoint.

All in all, i’m definitely looking at around $2k+ for all. Whether i get that or not is another question. I’ll link to all auctions as i set them up

Needless to say, preparing these sites for selling (cleaning up themes and customizing them a bit) has sort of put my ebook on ice for the time being. But any chance i get i’m still slowly but surely adding to it. I have it on my usb key and open it up at college any chance i get
