Hi, Kimo,
Although I have no answers that I am able to offer you, I would
recommend checking out the "macsb" Yahoo! Group at <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/macsb/
>. I've never used that list myself, but I've seen it recommended
here on Cocoa-Dev before, and it sounds like what you may want.
Cheers,
Andrew

This is not the usual development question, but this list probably
has the best people to answer.
Suppose you wrote a cool Mac product, and it's been selling well as
shareware for years. Then a larger software development company
contacts you and says they want to purchase the entire product
outright, source and all, for a lump sum, no royalties. And they
ask "what do you want for it?" How would you ever determine the
price? Some people have said to estimate at what it brings in over
1 or 2 years. Others have said that it shouldn't be a price more
than it would cost the company to develop the product themselves
from scratch. Is there a standard method for determining the cost
of a product, possibly similar to appraising the price of a house
before you sell it?
I hope this topic is not too far off-topic. Thanks for any help.
