If you remember back in July 2008, Hansup Yoon sold ZuneBoards for $62,000 to crowdgather and is finally getting some media attention over it. He could have possibly held out for more cash since monthly revenue generated from the site will increase with crowdgather advertising. Well either way its good to be young and the proprietor of a marketing transaction.
Now for the million dollar project Hansup!
SANTA ANA, Calif. - Young entrepreneur Hansup Yoon, 15, recently sold his creation ZuneBoards, an Internet forum devoted to Microsoft's Zune media player, for $62,000.
The teenager, who lives in Fullerton, Calif., created the site months before Microsoft introduced its answer to Apple's iPod in 2006.
"It was the most perfect time to start a Web site about Zune, and I was one of the first few to create a Zune-related site," he said.

I don’t know many people who consider $62,000 a fortune.
Him being 15 years old, that will be gone in a few months. Heck he sold it in July 2008, that’s last month, and the Zune’s been around for almost 2 years now, $62k… He got ripped off seeing how big zuneboards.com is and it’s forums.
Congrats LPX.
Hi,
I work with a client who would like some exposure on your site.
http://gotzune.com/
Preferably in connection to when you do a review/post about a product. My client works with tech gadget reviews and they would blend in great with your site.
If you are interested I can explain a bit further about what I have in mind.
Btw… If you haven’t intentionally disabled your contact form I suggest you look over your spam question… cause I believe 5+4=9 and 3+2=5
Regards,
Will
Sheesh! You call that a fortune?
You people are poorer than I thought!
