Economic times being what they are, Gawker must refocus its efforts on its most commercially successful blogs. Which means, yes, The Consumerist is for sale. We seek a new home where our kickass blogging team can continue to thrive and grow. We get 14m+ pageviews according to Sitemeter, and 2m+ uniques according to Quantcast.

Wow. That's one of my favorite sites. It's tough to believe a site like this with a tiny staff and reasonably high traffic can't be a financial success. The economy really does suck at the moment.
I'm surprised that gawker can't make it profitable...and how much does it need to make to be profitable?
Buy it, Geoff!
