I see really fair and good deals in niche facebook groups (some industries prefer to sell through it, no fees)

Through a broker

or business sell websites

through your network / clients

Other people who might be able to make introductions:
your accountant, your banker, your attorney 

Do you have Facebook groups with potential online business buyers?

 

No, sorry. But you can do a little research and find these (often private) groups.

I found very good facebook groups for car washes, laundromats, and convenience stores. The quality of these niche groups are much better than random online forums.

In some industries people prefer to sell within their own circle rather than enriching brokers and commercial online platforms.

 

What's the business? How involved do you have to be to run it? How much are you looking for?

Completely ready online software business with clients (selling own software for website owners), product sources + ownership, admin panel, clients panel, etc. The price at the moment is 2.5 times less than the market price. Forced to quickly sell, if it does not work out - the price will increase.

 

if it does not work out - the price will increase.

pretty good business model you have there

By the way, I found a new owner for one of my projects on another online forum (he wrote me a private message) and we used escrow. com service.
So maybe I will also find buyers for my other two projects this way.
