Upper West Side Web Site For Sale on Ebay

Here’s an item that’s pretty far removed from life on the Lower East Side but close to another topic we care a lot about — hyperlocal news. Our friends at the Westside Independent have put the popular community news site up for sale on ebay. Right now the top bid is $500 (the auction closes this coming Thursday). The Westside Independent was started on the Upper West Side about a year ago and has broken some great stories. The winning bidder will own the domain name, a database of articles, as well as accompanying Facebook and Twitter accounts. DNA Info wrote about the sale a few days ago.
