Transferslot 2.0 — Easily buy and sell side-projects

@cx42net This looks really promising and reputable. I've signed a project up for sale, even! (Hint: it's been featured, and met with lots of approval here on PH 😉)

@cx42net Nice work. Putting some of my projects up now :)

@bentossell Awesome, thank you! :)

@draganbabic Noted! Thank you!! we will review it (and the others) soon :)

@cx42net @draganbabic reputable if you include posting scammers' "projects". I paid someone selling their project, and the guy went completely AWOL, stringing me along for a couple of days, then a week, with fake login credentials to what is supposedly the blog he sold me. Thankfully, it was a small amount of money, but as they say, buyer beware. I'm out my money and have no recourse.

@ichillidesign Hi Craig, thank you for the warm words! We initially decided to go with a small descritpion only (max 250 chars) to avoid to many data on the front page, but it's something we may change in the future because it's too light to explain a project, even more when you want to explain the stack. The typo has been fixed :) About escrow, I saw that Escrow.com recently launched their API, so I need to check for this, but for now, we are only listing projects, but not handling directly the selling (as it would add more complication regarding law, regulation and risk in the process). Don't hesitate to ask questions if you plan to add your(s?) project(s), and keep in mind that it's free :)

@devinrajaram Thanks Devin! Yes, we plan to add more attributes like those. We are also halfway into pulling data from the Google Analytics API. We plan to crunch all the data and display it back nicely to potential buyers. The advantage here is that all the data would come from a verified source!

@antoineminoux You can also look into a source like https://clearbit.com/ for business data integration.

@kevinnatanzon Yes indeed. I personnally started to receive news from Flippa, hoping to get the next big thing to work on. And everytime something was looking good was present on Flippa, it was full of bad indicators, like launched a month ago, high visitors (certainly click farms), etc. So that's why we worked on this new version of Transferslot :)

@srikanth_noah Thank you so much for your suggestions! We started working on the Google Analytics API to get the stats. But for the rest, yes it's really interesting, I'll take note of that!

@colinwinhall Thank you for your feedback Colin. You are not the first to mention it (even on the comments here) so I've taken note of this remark and we'll see how we can implement it. Let me know if you have any other remarks :)

@dainiskanopa Unfortunately, we don't have any news on that side. We know when a project's owner has been reached out, indicating a potential interest, but we don't have news of what happens next. It's possible that some products have been sold and the owner haven't told us, or that none have been sold. We plan to add some use cases for when we'll have official news of a successful sale :)

@cx42net wouldn’t you want to be part of the transaction? Where will your revenue come from? Im asking this because it can really help you on the marketing side. As a buyer or seller I would Iove to first see success stories instead of list of company with no profit, selling for thousands. Kinda like how indiehackers are doing)

@danielravina We planed to get revenue from the "Trusted Member Program", members of this program gets early access to newly added projects and can veto a project they like before it goes live, giving them more power. You can have more informations about it via: https://transferslot.com/trusted/ We decided not to go for Escrow because, mainly in France where we are, law regarding exchange of money/services while being a third party is hellish. Maybe implement some bitcoin instead of real money? Well, we'll think about the posibilities :)

@cx42net - Pretty certain "Tiny Reminder" sold. Just received a notice from the original creator stating she sold it andnew people were taking over. She didn't specifically say it sold on your site, but I see it listed there (and it still says available), so either she needs to close it out becuase of the sale, or the new owner listed it!

@dontheideaguy Thanks for the tip, I'll take note in contacting them and see if that's the case. It would make a great use case too if they sold through Transferslot :)

@travis_r heh?

@travis_r Thank you for your warm wor... wait what?

@rusty_td Thank you :) That's because of the awesome work made by Antoine :)

@kestasvv What do you mean by verifying buyers? We ask to confirm the email to be sure it's not some abuse, and we review all the submitted project to ensure there is nothing bad submitted. What would you suggest we should do?

@cx42net I mean actual buyers, people that are looking to purchase businesses and have money to do so. This enormously increases the value for everyone.

@cx42net Good investment advice is a service as well, so buyer who agrees to be verified would get special features like early deal access etc...

@cx42net @kestasvv Kestas, that's actually exactly what we are trying to solve with the "Trusted Buyer Program" — https://transferslot.com/trusted/ !

@kestasvv Verifying sellers would be really great as well. I got burned on this service once and can't justify trying it again, as much as I love the idea. Until there's a way to have sellers somehow prove their claimed metrics (google analytics, bank statements, etc.), and especially a way to prove they even own the thing they are supposedly selling, I'm not a user.

@bausofthenauf Awesome! Feel free to ask if you have any questions in the process, and remember that using Transferslot to sell is entirely free!

@bausofthenauf There is another option, if you want to grow your side project into a startup business. Try www.githustle.com

@thilawfab Thanks for the kind words, Fabrice! I think "fascinated" might be a bit too big, but we are very happy to see some traction for this niche. We are makers ourselves and marketplaces like Flippa were just too diluted with mediocre/bad/spammy listings. That's why we are trying to focus on curation more. Thanks again!

@pagustafsson Could you clarify what do you mean by that? thanks :)

@kasperdolk Hey Kasper! Thanks a lot for telling us — Seems like there was an issue on Safari. I've fixed it and it should work normally now!

@followrosemary Anyone in fact. It's open to all, but only the members in the "Trusted" program have early access to the projects, giving them a head start in choosing the project before it goes public.

@mihec Thank you!! :)

@itsthisjustin Yes, some owners are asking a lot. We initially were open to any price without much thought, but after getting some projects like the one you are referring too, we decided to add a "Reason" textarea in the submit page to understand better why the owner is asking for such a high price. We are discoverning some edge case we didn't thought initially and finding ways to remediate them the best we can for our community.
