Top-Tens iPhone app up for grabs on eBay

Business IT - Technology

If you're thinking of buying an iPhone app, you look in the App Store, right? Wrong! Try eBay if you're looking to buy an app lock, stock and barrel.

UK-based Rod Cambridge developed the Top-Tens app for the iPhone and iPod touch earlier this year. Appropriately enough, it achieved a top ten position in the App Store's paid Reference section.

Priced at $US1.99, Top-Tens displays top ten lists from a variety of fields, including books, movies, phishing scams, places to visit in various cities.

But Cambridge is taking a six-month sabbatical, so he's decided to sell the program outright.

"Top-Tens requires minimal maintenance (less than one hour) once per week to do things like add new categories suggested by users," he said.

"In addition, Top-Tens may require code updates - and so I've concluded it's best to make sure the app goes to a good home before I jet off!"

An that's why you'll find Top-Tens on eBay.

To use Cambridge's phrase, "the whole kit and caboodle" is up for sale: source code, images, and web site (including domain name and supporting databases). He's even offering to provide technical support and backup as needed to ensure a smooth transition to the new owner.

With five days left to run, the auction had attracted 24 bids at the time of writing, but the high bid of £205 was still below the reserve.
