I'm sorry to disappoint, but ideas are a dime-a-dozen. I think you'll have a hard time finding someone willing to buy a "concept". Its nearly impossible to patent a website - unless it used some very advanced and specific software - so the moment you talk about it, there is no protection. Even if you have confidentiality documents signed - its very likely an unprotectable idea. Your best bet is to get in touch with a developer - hopefully a friend of a friend or something, and see if he'll do the work and become a partner. At the least, you can start off by buying up some of the domain names associated with your idea. Just hit godaddy for them. I speak from experience. If you want some more advice on starting a business I have an ebook thats an easy read called "Cut the Crap & Start Your Business". Its available at the link below: One of my favorite quotes is “Being an entrepreneur requires only two things: an idea and action”… its one of my favorites because its mine.
