iFart, the company behind the popular iPhone application that simulates the sound of farts, is up for sale for $1 million.
Is it a novelty app and a tasteless one at that? Definitely. But iFart has been a number-one application on iTunes at one point, and the company claims it has never dropped out of the top 100 most popular apps list. It costs $0.99, and it's definitely earned a fair amount of money for its creators, whom are now looking to sell it as the company changes focus to marketing.
"After more than two years of success, my company is focusing on our performance marketing agency. It is time to pass the iFart baton to a company or individual that desires to take it to the next level. This auction will provide the right buyer with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of iPhone history," says iFart creator Joel Comm.
For $1 million, the buyer will get the entire iFart intellectual property, which includes an iPhone and iPad app, the design, website, proprietary technology and all the raw code behind the app.
iFart is being sold through an eBay auction, with $1 million dollars being the "buy it now" price. Current bid is a meager $2,025, and it hasn't met the reserve price, which is currently hidden and set at a figure 2.5 times above the current earnings for the app.
