I think he's referring to the basic idea that sometimes you can wait for the right buyer to come along for something that you are selling. He was just using sale of his house as an example.

It doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to happen. It just means that it could happen.

It's an extremely bad example that just reveals that the poster is probably pretty clueless. Anyhow, a regular car for sale would have been a much better example.

The point is that the longer it takes to sell your website, the less it will be sold for.

Same with my car, I am trying to sell one. It's not being sold. I could lower the price or wait. Result is probably the same in the end = I get less money for my car... unless if it's a super special car that gets more valuable as it ages. But it's not. Kinda like your site, it won't get more valuable if you wait, it'll get less valuable.

The fact is that you have been trying to sell this for a long time - and not been able to - tells me that you are either trying to sell this the wrong way, at the wrong place or for the wrong price.

But yea, you might get lucky. I hope you do. But I wouldn't bet on it
