CSSVault, the venerable CSS directory, was sold by owner BloggyNetwork to HostGator Web Hosting for a smooth $100,000. Revenue and traffic details were not released, but hostgator reasons for purchasing the directory was its strong brand and strong (actual, and not wishful) potential.
CSSVault, a directory of cool design stuff, averages about 12,000-17,000 pageviews a day with over 5,000 unique visitors daily. But with a very rare natural PR9 domain the $100,000 price tag could probably be one of the largest sale of this kind.
