Pricing a Digital Asset for Sale

Sellers tend to price on gut feeling, then get surprised when a listing sits unanswered. A few grounded starting points make the process faster for both sides.

Revenue-generating sites: price off a traffic or income multiple

If the site already generates verifiable revenue, buyers will generally think in terms of a multiple of monthly or annual income. If it doesn't generate revenue yet, a multiple of comparable traffic-and-authority listings is a more honest anchor than an income multiple you can't back up.

Domains: comparables, not aspiration

Brandability matters, but the fastest way to price a domain realistically is to look at recently sold comparables in the same length, extension, and niche - not what you originally paid or hoped to get.

Content and datasets: price the labor, not the idea

Content libraries and datasets are priced closer to the cost of producing them again from scratch than to any speculative future value. Buyers are paying to skip the production time, not for exclusivity on an idea.

Leave room for the inquiry conversation

Since Shop Digital Property routes every sale through an inquiry first rather than an instant checkout, list at a firm but fair number and expect some negotiation room in the conversation that follows.
