If you communicate with programmers directly then 30K is enough to make 2 sites like Trezr. If you use an intermediary then you probably have to pay 25-50% extra. The only case when someone will want to pay 30K for a site like Trezr is if this is exactly what they want and they want it now (they don't have the time to wait a few months it takes to design and code the site). I am sure marketing (read "hype") Techcrunch creates had certain influence in floating the price but I still think Trezr is worth around 20K at least.

One third is organic from search engine. Let us assume that another third is from other referring sites (like reviews in your blog) -- that leaves only 45 repeated visitors a day. Hardly a community for $30k! So you ended up buying just the software, which can be re-created with Pligg $5k fee to a contractor on Rent-A-Coder or Elance. It would be coded in PHP so runs in your $10/month shared hosting account as well :) Gee. $30k for Trezr. I still can't believe it. Maybe half goes to TechCrunch for featuring it :) 4000 visits and 7500 page views a month means average only less than 135 visits and 250 page views a day! One third is organic from search engine.
