For sale as-is. Current price may increase.
ZoneVietnam.com
is for sale.
Take over a live Vietnamese-language portal for places, food, travel, news and local businesses.
I’m selling ZoneVietnam as-is at a deliberately low price because I want a quick, straightforward sale and a clean move on to other projects. A brief conversation is welcome; my priority is to keep the process simple.
I’ll continue working on and improving the site until it sells. The asking price may increase as that work progresses.
