I'm confused. You have a website with nothing on it, no database, no
pricing, no offers and you want to sell it? I probably misread your note, so
let's start with another assumption:

You have a source for something of value and you want to market it and sell
it for more than what it cost you. Yes?

Having attended a half dozen or so Internet marketing seminars, the common
thread seems to be that you will own a website and then you will find people
or companies who need help in marketing their product. For example, my son
makes the www.rcsailcar.com and is working on 'deals' for online marketers
to sell his sail cars, collect the money, then have him drop ship to the
marketer's customer. The marketer makes a commission and my son makes a
small profit on the transaction. The customer ends up paying less than if he
were to go to a brick and mortar store, the marketer makes a buck and the
manufacturer makes a buck. Good business!

So you need to find something of value that you can handle or buy cheap,
then using your Internet know-how, sell it, collect and pay the difference
to your supplier.

If you don't have a product, start by thinking of what you really like,
understand and would enjoy doing 24/7 while at home or away. Then find
suppliers willing to sell at wholesale and drop ship. Then spend your time
figuring out how to get people to your site who are likely buyers. You can
get your site in prominent places on the search engines by entering into pay
per click deals.
