most website marketplaces are overbuilt… and kind of broken for indie makers.
I learned this the hard way.
I tried to sell a small project:
it had traffic
a bit of revenue
real potential
But selling it? Way harder than building it.
Every platform felt like it was designed for $50k+ deals:
long approval processes
broker involvement
too much friction
zero focus on small builders
If you’re just trying to sell a $500–$5k project, you’re basically an afterthought.
That didn’t sit right with me.
Because let’s be honest — most of us here aren’t selling million-dollar startups.
We’re flipping side projects, testing ideas, and building small bets.
So I built AcquireYet.
A simpler marketplace where:
you can list in minutes
talk directly to buyers
and actually close without jumping through hoops
No brokers. No complexity. Just indie-to-indie deals.
Right now it’s early:
I’m manually onboarding sellers
talking to every user
and figuring out what actually matters in these transactions
But I believe there should be a place where small deals are first-class, not ignored.
Curious…
Have you ever tried selling a project and felt this friction?
Or is it just me?
