I'd call that a solid 1.

- 99designs logo

- $10 template

- Handmade graphics (from screenshots of Webalizer, no less)

The product itself was literally Webalizer reports, along with some quick and dirty forms to input enough information so that we could generate those reports (running directly on the webserver, of course), and a list view to link back to them.

Note the $1/month pricing, and no mechanism to actually charge credit cards to collect said dollar.

But a lot of people signed up, and some of them are still around 13 years later.

That is really cool, out of interest did it ever make money?

Yes. It replaced my developer salary several years back, and I've been living off of it ever since.
