>> What would you recommend they do
The could contact me, yes. Especially if the list has 5,000+ double opt-ins and/or is earning at least a few thousand a year. I'd pay well for them. How do they find me? They could PM... or use the website which I've now added to my profile.
But you have an interesting other suggestion i.e. to contact a broker. That's where the problem lies. I don't believe they exist. Brokers exist for businesses and I've dealt with them a fair bit (you can find "business transfer agents" at places like businessesforsale.com) but they won't understand the ezine model/revenue stream/s and certainly won't take on the minnows. Don't be surprised if they want to see T/O in excess of $250K or NP in the region of $100K. And they're pretty pathetic at selling anything that's not B&M.
For everybody else there doesn't seem to be a developed market and, as you say, some just let their money earning properties fade into oblivion because of it.
As Lynn knows there's a parallel discussion about ebooks .
