Kevin MuldoonCashQuests is up for sale

It seems like there’s no stopping the latest trend of bloggers putting their blogs up for sale. Perhaps this is due to blogging fatigue or perhaps it’s a combination of Google updating their PageRank and bloggers being encouraged by the high price which 6 month old blogs are selling for.

One mans goal sold for $8,500, Shylock Blogging went for $4,000, Blogging Fingers went for $6,000 and Blog Oh Blog was sold for a whopping $10,000!

This morning I noticed that Cash Quests is now up for sale at SitePoint with a minimum bid of $7,000 and a ‘buy it now’ of $15,000.

Cash Quests

Cash Quests, formerly Kumiko’s Cash Quests, has been online for close to a year now and in that time has grown from a blogger based blog to a wordpress powered blog with it’s own domain and close to a thousand subscribers. Through text link sales, banner ad sales and paid reviews the site is managing to make around $1,000 a month so $7,000 is not a bad price.

I’m not sure of the reason why Kumiko is selling the blog however I wish her all the best with the sale and I have no doubt we will see her around the blogosphere in some context in the future :)

    Interesting development, but not totally shocking. Lots of blogs are being sold off these days. I’m sure it will draw a pretty penny.

  2. Kevin says:

    I think that the ease at which these blogs are selling is encouraging more bloggers to consider selling theirs. I agree, I definately think this will sell for a decent price..should reach 10 grand at least :)

  3. Kevin says:

    just checked sitepoint

    Someone has bid the $15,000 ‘buy it now’ already!

    geez that was quick!

  4. Mani Karthik says:

    That’s interesting Kevin…well paid off isn’t it?

  5. TheAnand says:

    I think its no longer owned by kumiko. She has already sold it off privately mostly. :cool:

  6. Kevin says:

    TheAnand – I read those rumours as well. I’m not sure if there are true or not but I know that all references to Kumiko and to her identity etc was removed from the blog sometime ago.

  7. Alexandru says:

    Just to clarify :) Shylock Blogging wasn’t sold in the end. I had a bid at BIN price but the deal didn’t go through and I decided to keep it.

  8. Kevin says:

    Alexandru – Oh I thought it was a done deal. Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who frequent the sitepoint marketplace who arent exactly 100% reliable.

  9. TheAnand says:

    Also, I can even goto the extent that the people behind this site are the same people behind johncow…their writing styles match so much. Well, personal ramblings of mine…lol
