Sorry, but that's a flawed business model.
- At first, if they make enough sales to be profitable over a timeframe of 5 years, then there has to be a point when they'd have to be profitable by running the site too. So it wouldn't be neccessary to sell the site, or close it down in case you don't find a buyer.
Or in other words, if you run the sites long enough, they'd have to become profitable some day. If you don't have that perspective then you've lost money, you're just loosing less if you close the site right now.
- And second, imagine what kind of ROI we're talking about here. If you invest let's say $20k in money and work time in a tube, run it for 2 years without any financial losses, only with investing your time ($20k at least for 2 years part-time), and then close it to live off the rebills, I'd say you make an return of ~30% on your initial investment over 5 years. That's about 5% per year, you'd be better off if you'd have put your money on a savings account, and you'd be much better off if you'd have spent your time with a normal job, or a better project.
I mean, I'm working to make money, I don't like to spend my time with working for free, and trying to break even on my BW bill.
