Facebook Application Sale Disappoints

Last week, Simon Freed, James Ashton and Sam Hamilton, creators of the Advent calendar application, put their application up for sale on eBay. The application has over half a million users and over 22,000 daily users. Today, the auction winner bid $7,099. This amounts to one cent per user and approximately $0.33 per active user. Granted, this Facebook application has a short shelf life and the owner will have to figure out a way to drive users to another application in the next few weeks.

No Facebook applications have been sold for a significant amount yet.
