Very interesting site. Are the items that are listed for sale on the site really for sale? Is it already a live marketplace? You mention that it is a free site, I assume the revenue model is by selling ads on this site?

Description
What is for sale?
For sale is a free website marketplace entirely built using Wordpress using a few open source plugins as well as many hours of custom code put into our own plugins to create an entirely dynamic module where users can now list auctions.
http://www.webunload.com
You can also sell products directly on site using our Instabuy feature which handles paypal and product delivery in one simple step.
RSS feeds for all categories or a single category depending on what people want to watch. You can even get a feed of a certain user's listings.
Users can save drafts of their listings and many other features you may become familiar with when using Wordpress.
We even added a wiki where visitors can add onto our extensive line of tutorials. Most are incomplete but it is a great concept and addition to the site.

WebUnload holds a listing within Yahoo Directory Services.
Why are you selling?
We are selling because we see the need to move onto our next project in our never ending line up. Otherwise because of our financial situation or maybe just for some extra cash. You be the judge here.

Yes all of the items listed are either up for singular sale, have been sold, or are selling multiple quantities. It is a live marketplace. Yes you can sell some ads but we we're opposed to having ads while we were in control of it.

jonkcs - The site is currently using a free listing model. Which means that users can register and list for free. You can generate revenue however you like.
iamlegend - Bids are not allowed without having a valid account. Place a bid and you will be restricted without having an account.

Razor: Do you have Google Analytics stats I could see? What version of WP is this? Will there be any access to the original programmer of the unique plugins and code developed?

Hey milez.
We do not have a Google Analytics account setup for WebUnload but we do keep raw logs. Is there any month or any data in particular you would like to see. Please pm me.
Wordpress 2.4
Yes you will have access to the original coder for some time after purchase but I assure you that any coder could add onto the site as all the code is easy to follow and well commented.
