Forget about listing your 'Web 2.0' company on eBay, selling your Facebook app is the in thing to do.
With the launch of the Facebook developer platform, a slew of great Apps have come out, leading the company into a superstar. Logbook, an application where users can add and review movies, books and music is built on top of the Amazon affiliate platform and accepts Google ads. This money generating application is now newly listed on eBay and with 25 bids, the price currently sits at $510. Could this spark a new trend in the Facebook saga? With Facebook recently launching a $10 Million grant fund dedicated to funding companies that have the sole purpose of building dedicated applications, you can bet there are a slew of startups that will just not make it into the fund and choose to unload the app for another developer to work their magic.
Written in PHP and using MySQL on Apache, this application could have a lot of potential for those that put a little marketing effort. There are currently only about 90 users. (all friends and family of the developers no doubt.)
UPDATE: appmrkt is a place where developers can buy and sell Facebook applications.

This is NOT about Facebook. I just wanted to congratulate the Download Squad for an absolutely fabulous website. It's my first port of call every day. Why don't you have a proper link so that readers can converse/write to you?
Anyway, excellent site! Many thanks
JC

While I don't think this will be a huge trend in that market, I do think some of the lower end Facebook apps might try and go this route. Either through ebay or Facebook itself with its apps initiative program developers stand to make some money if they release a solid product. Time to rev up the old brain power and start developing!
