I’m a buyer in this range. I’ve bought various small online tools that either weren’t monetised or weren’t monetised well, then I just put a small amount of effort into tidying it up a bit. Zero goals to “go big”, each just brings in a bit of pocket money.

If you compare the typical big-money SV-style startup sales to be like people building/flipping properly, this would be the equivalent of fixing up and flipping cheap cars or furniture. It’s a fun side hobby that makes you some extra spending money, not something to make you rich.

May I ask what kind of small online tools are you refering to? And how are you monetising them? I'm exploring some ideas for pocket money as well..
