Why People Can Sell Cheap In Flippa?

Flippa charge about $19 for listing but that would never been enough. You obviously need at least featured listing page to get people's attention and views you need. So basically you will need at least $50 to get potential buyers in Flippa not to mention $10 for the domain name itself. So your minimum capital is $60 but how the hell people can sell cheap in Flippa like no reserve or $80 or $100? I mean what's the point of getting $10-20 per sales? Sometimes you dont even successfully sell your site and you just lose $50, that's lame.

But as you know most of the websites that are being sold there are start up websites. Websites with real revenue (not just claims), you can count them. The comparison between established site with start up site is like 1:50

 

Maybe these folks believe their sites are worth more and after spending $60 on the listing find out that they are barely getting the listing fee back.

btw. what are good alternatives to flippa?

 

Yeah but as you know 70% of the featured listing are full of such start up sites. So that's kinda crap that you have to sell something that's worth less than $100 but then you ask for $150 just because of the listing fees.

Idk the good alternative to flippa for now.

 

Its hard to find good sites, that are worth the money they are asking for. You are correct people selling startup sites, are rife and finding the ones that have been developed properly are hard to find. 60$ for the chance to be seen, kinda expensive tbh.. Rarther post in forums, in the niche im trying to sell for more targetted views.

 

It is very similar to eBay. People think that if they raise the limit to anything above $70 for example, people will not even look at their listing because they'll make the assumption that they just cannot afford the price. Many vendors are expecting that even with a low level minimum price, or no minimum at all, buyers will still get into a bidding frenzy and move the price up. Truth be told, it does not always work.

 

How many of the people doing this are repeat sellers though ?

Maybe it's just people trying to recoup costs on a site they don't want to develop anymore.
It could be that it only takes them an hour to setup a site, so $20 after the sale wouldn't be too shabby for sitting on your butt behind a monitor in your underwear.
There's also the possibility that these are "tainted" sites that someone has pushed a lot of questionable affiliate sales through and they're just trying to offload it on some unsuspecting sucker before the poo hits the fan.
Maybe they need money to keep a site with more potential afloat.
It could be that they just want to get a feel for how Flippa works.

Experience has taught me that if someone is willing to part with something for less than it's worth, they have more pressing issues to attend to.

 

They could be automating the website development process so that it's still a very profitable venture.

 

Seller has calculate their profit..

 

best thing i sold in flippa was sitepoint.asia back to sitepoint

 

I've read so many bad sales transactions on Flippa that I really doubt I would ever, EVER buy a website on there. The potential to get scammed is just too great. If the website looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

 

digitalpoint, I think flippa is great for sites that sell over x,xxx.

 

DigitalPoint has a great selection of quality sites for sale .

 

Digital Point is a little like going to a jumble sale (or swapmeet in the US?). There are some good bargains but they're well hidden amongst a lot of not so good 'bargains'

Two other sites that arent as big, but are up and coming include

www.webmastersmarketplace.com and
www.websitebroker.com

The forums are full of people ready to take on Flippa, but it's a very big task to undertake.

 

i think flippa many stats are fake , isn't it ?

how much do each website sell in a month ?

 

It's hard to "fake" Google Analytic stats.

 

in Flippa, it is a gambling whether to get a profit or just lose your $50

 

I've heard Ed Dale rave about flippa and how he's made it work. Not too sure how he's making it work for him, though.
