So it seems Alexandru is not selling Shylock Blogging for the $4000 he had sold the blog for. After the buyer of the site decided to make things complicated, Alexandru took a moment to think about what he was doing. He and I had talked over instant messaging about the sale, and he wasn’t feeling good about getting out of the make money online blogging niche yet, despite the great prices the blogs are going for.
My recent post, entitled Selling Your Readership, was salt in his wound, and also part of the process that changed his mind and has led to him keeping Shylock Blogging. I couldn’t be happier to see a great guy keep his blog and continue to compete in this niche.

I was glad to see he wanted to stay around also.
I think the people selling out have no idea the real value in their blogs for their networking opps and reputation building.

I’m sorry, but buyer’s remorse is a bit weak. Either you are getting too emotional (not good) or you didn’t realize the value of what you were selling (not good either).
Plus there is Opportunity Cost to factor in.
