Ask HN: Where does one sell their online business?

from the ask-hn dept.

I have a friend who is looking to sell their business. It involves online media as well as in person events. Where should I point them to in terms of resources?

I've found sites like http://www.bizbuysell.com and http://www.acquisitionsdirect.com, but I've never used them myself so I don't know how reputable/effective they are.

Is Flippa [0] not an option?

Seconding Flippa. There are real deep pocketed buyers on Flippa and real sites that go for six figures fairly regularly.

I always thought Flippa was for solely online businesses where the website was the core of the business. The business in question here isn't one of those though. A significant part of the revenue is generated through offline happenings, although the website promotes the offline happenings and the actual ticket sales occur online.
