Description
FeedLines is a PHP script for running feed aggregator websites, like AllTop or PopUrls®. You provide it with a list of feeds and where to place them in the template, and it handles fetching and automatically updating the feeds. It also shows the description of each feed item when you hover your mouse over the links.
The FeedLines website is a demo of the script as well as the site that sells it. This is what the script looks like out of the box. Please don't ask if it does X or Y; the script does only what the demo shows, aggregate feeds, display the latest headlines from each feed, update every X minutes automatically (without cron, it caches and regenerates when necessary), and shows descriptions on mouseover.
This auction is for the website and full rights to the script it sells.
I am selling as I need to focus on supporting my latest product, WP Review Site, and don't have time to market and develop both while working on my master's degree in computer science.
If you can put any time into this product and marketing it, you'll definitely make more than the $1700 I have so far.
I have set a reserve price on the auction, but it's much less than even what the site's made in the past 3 months, as I'd rather sell this the first time around.
I was SitePoint Seller of the Year in 2006, and am an advisor for the SitePoint forums. I can transfer the domain and site to you within 24 hours of the auction ending with a winner. I will push the domain to you at GoDaddy for free (if you don't have an account, you'll be asked to create one for free to accept the domain transfer). I can upload it to your server and set up the payment page with PayPal for you as well.

Revenue Details
This site and script are exactly three months old. In those three months, 35 copies have been sold at $49.95 each for $1,750.
The only advertising done for the site was a listing in the marketplace here, a post at two other webmaster forums, and free listings at some script directories. So about $1700 of the sales were pure profit. There are no costs associated with running the site other than hosting and answering any questions you get.
Traffic Details
You can view the real-time web stats for this site here:

You can see there's been a dip in traffic this month since I did not write a single post or place a single ad for the site. It still made sales anyway.

Just so I can be for sure of what I'm bidding on.... Is this script owned by you? Is there anyone else selling this script? Is the winning bidder 100% owner of the script?

Yes, does this script belong to you and you only? Are any other sites selling it?

I wrote the script, nobody else is selling it. I will transfer full rights to the purchaser.
For full disclosure, FeedLines uses an open source RSS library for fetching the feeds, but that library has a commercial-compatible license (non-GPL, non-CC).
Please make sure your account is phone verified or I won't allow your bids.

Very nice site and script, though I have a couple of questions:
-I checked the backlinks of the site, most of the backlinks come from Sitepoint's Forum, because you placed the url of the site into your signature. Will you leave this signature link there, or will you remove it after the sale of the site?-Will the new owner of the site get a list of previous buyers?
-Can you provide a list of frequently asked questions and answers to the new owner?

The links will not remain, you can have a list of buyers, and there is no FAQ as nobody's required support to use this script. You upload it and it works.
