Kiko For Sale on eBay

The online calendaring company Kiko put their site up for sale on eBay today, presumably signifying the end of their company. This will be the second Y company to fold (the first was Simmery). According to the eBay description, "We are selling Kiko because we want to have time to work on other projects as a development team. We had a project in mind we just didn't want to wait on :)."

Things didn't look good for Kiko when Google entered the market, but co-creator Justin said he wasn't scared. According to one Reddit poster, Kiko has been down for the last few days.

Currently there are no bidders for the site, which has a starting price of $49,999.99.

Update: There is now one bidder! After 111 bids, Kiko was sold for $258,100.
