sell.source_code
Sell source code that's just sitting there
That repo hasn't been touched in eighteen months and it's not coming back. Somebody building in the same space would pay real money to skip the year of work it represents. List it read-only and find out what it's worth.
$ private_stays_private
Install the CodeGraveyard Vault GitHub App on one repository. Read-only, revocable, scoped to that repo alone.
$ no_cloning
Buyers see a sandboxed preview — file tree, stack breakdown, and a 20-line teaser per file. They can't pull the code before paying.
$ sell_more_than_code
Bundle the datasets, trained models, UI kit, or domain into the same listing to raise the price.
$ flat_price_fast_close
Set one number. Most deals close in under a week on a short asset purchase agreement.
Frequently asked
Can I sell source code I wrote for a company that shut down?
Only if you hold the copyright — typically the founder or the entity that wound down. Buyers sign an asset purchase agreement, so you need the right to transfer it.
How do buyers evaluate the code before paying?
They subscribe, sign an NDA on your specific listing, then get a read-only sandbox view: file tree, language breakdown, commit count, and a 20-line teaser per file. No cloning, no download.
What kind of code sells?
Production codebases with real git history, tests, and infra scripts. Templates and demo projects don't — buyers can get those anywhere.
Can I keep using the code myself?
That's between you and the buyer. Many sellers do a non-exclusive sale; others transfer copyright outright for a higher price. State it in the listing.
