Every now and then I dip into Flippa upon my usual visit to the site I was quite surprised to see the WP4FB Custom FaceBook page plugin being listed for sale. Quite surprised indeed.
The WP4FB Facebook plugin seemed to be doing quite well with over 5000 Facebook fan page members or likers (if that’s even the right word) Well it’s listed there you can view the listing for the WP4FB Facebook WordPress plugin here.
This particular plugin boasted an easy to use interface for creating custom Facebook pages using your WordPress install via the means of a WordPress plugin. Whilst I have no doubt of the plugins effectiveness, 5k of Facebook page fans is no mean feat my any stretch of the imagination.

Starting this business project has been rewarding, but I’d like a new challenge in 2012 for which I’ll need investment capital. For that reason, I would like to place this business in the hands of someone that has a passion to succeed and can take this project to the next level.
Currently it’s up for a BIN (Buy It Now) of $100,000 and has so far received 9 bids tallying up to a massive $35,000. Currently it has 4 days left to run, will you be placing a bid for it?
Do you currently use the paid for version of WP4FB? If so what are your concerns over the sale, worried about support, worried it might fall into the hands of someone who does not know what they are doing? Post a comment and share your thoughts!
