> The Well, an online community founded in 1985, is to be sold by it's
> current owner Salon.com. Salon bought the community in 1999 for US $5  
> million.
> Since then, it's always managed to turn a profit but memberships  
> (costing $120
> to $150 per year) have declined from 6000 to 4000 between 1999 and  
> today.
>
> Salon expects to achieve a sale price of around $500,000 - about the
> equivalent of one year's subscription fees. That's probably a bargain  
> if the
> membersthemselves buy the community...
