Sold Iconbuddy for $30,000.
2.5 years ago, I bought it from @fayazara for $4,000. No revenue. No traffic. Nothing. That $4,000 was literally all I had in my bank.
Iconbuddy is a search engine for 300,000+ open-source icons.
The original creator built it but couldn’t figure out how to make money from it.
Mohd spotted the gap – a useful product with 300,000+ icons and zero monetization – grabbed it for $4K, and launched on Product Hunt (745+ upvotes, Product of the Day) 
Then he added a lifetime deal and kept raising the price 
- $49 lifetime – sold 46 licenses
- $69 lifetime – sold 117 licenses in 2 months
- $89 lifetime – still selling
All organic. Zero paid marketing.
From his breakdown…
I made $15,497 in last 9 months with iconbuddy that I acquire for $4k.
That was just the beginning. Over 2.5 years he earned $50K+ in total revenue, then sold the site for $30K 
Total return: ~$80K from ~$8K invested (he also spent $4K on the .com domain).
Sites like Flippa, Acquire.com, and 1KProjects are full of undervalued projects like this.
