You NEVER sell on price. If a person is that price conscious, they are not a viable prospect and you move on.

Good luck with this attitude. I love how the "secret" is to act entitled to your price, as if that's everyone else's problem instead of the market telling you you're over-priced or your product isn't that valuable, etc.

Guy above you is right; it looks like a basic website. The only person that's going to pay out the ass is the person that can be convinced they need to/have no clue they're getting taken for a ride by someone convinced their own product is worth that price, etc.

I'm not saying to try to sell a website for $20 million.

However, I've actually sold websites for $3K+. This is not theory.

If you want to create websites like they do in Pakistan and want to charge $50, because that's what Pakistanis can do, hey, knock yourself out. You can make up for the low price by selling in volume.
