Ask HN: How to Sell a Side Project?

Hello HN! Writing from a Throwaway account.

I have an unreleased side project that I want to sell. It is in Amazon affiliates space which targets a niche audience (HN users, to be precise). I was working on it for quite some time but never got around to launching it. Since I'm working on my SAAS right now, I don't really want to spend time on it.

Tech stack is Python/Flask/SQLite with vanilla HTML/CSS on the frontend. It is not resource heavy, and will easily run on a cheapest VPS instance. You could also deploy it to Heroku but it will cost a bit more ($7 for a hobby dyno and $9 for a hobby Postgres database). The codebase is ready to be deployed straight away.

I think this project has potential to gross low-to-mid 4 figures (in USD) for its entire existence.

How do I go about selling it? I really want someone to pick up this project, launch it and make some money off of it, rather than seeing it gathering dust in obscurity...
