I recieved derision and ridicule by onlookers not interested in bidding, but interested in making sure everyone else knew how they felt.

Funny — I’m going through something similar at the moment. I know it’s easier said than done, but you have to consider the source and ask yourself how much value you place in the opinions given. When the answer is “not much” — well, move on.

Sorry people are being jerky — it’s hard to see people poke fun or make rude remarks about your life’s work. It’s like making fun of someone’s kid, if you ask me. Bleh.

I am with Juan. It’s really not what your ‘blog is worth’, it’s ‘what are you worth, as reflected in your blog’. Selling the blog is simply selling your content thus far, as well as the domain name. It wouldn’t continue to grow and be successful without you.

Iâ€™ve followed this sale from the beginning. It has reinforced what I thought all along.

No matter how much someone sells themselves as a professional blogger, or blogging expert. The real test is in results and performance. Good old fashion common sense will always prevail.

I agree with the argument that value is found in the blogger. Especially in sites like yours Aaron wherein you’re the only writer. Sure Technosailor has a “brand” already but it’s really you.

In my opinion, unless you’re like TUAW who has a lot of bloggers writing for one site/blog, much of the value is squared on your shoulders. Even then, if you decide to sell TUAW and do away with the current bloggers it will see a hit in value.

So, the only way I think that you’ll be able to get a lot for Technosailor is if you go with it :)
