Flippa 'buyers' what a joke

Sometimes peoples get frustrated... But that's called marketing at least you don't have to be so harsh
If you do not want to deal with all the hassles involved, simply use a domain broker. It could lower the price you actually sell for but then again, take into consideration what your time is worth as well.
I have sold 1 site on flippa and experienced pretty much same. Tons of window shoppers and it's a pain in the ass to weed out the serious buyers from the first group. Like I said, in case I decided to sell another site I would probably take the brokers route.

Since this thread has been bumped and I have been asked a few times now, figured I would just answer in the thread.
These sales were two sites and one domain. Both sites were sold based off traffic and sales. The 30k site from search engine traffic (high rankings for main keywords in the niche) and the 7k site from search engine traffic through a sort of Google algo loophole. Then a premium domain I would of actually liked to have kept, but needed to sell at the time.
Both sites only had 1-2 months profit to show. 30k site sold for 10 months profit. 7k site for only 2 months but it was because I could only explain the traffic source to the buyer.
I personally think site flipping is a great business model. All SEOs should be doing it with at least part of their portfolio in order to mitigate some of the risk IMO. With new algo changes every week you could be banking one week and not the next. With flipping you can rely on a guaranteed 8-12 month profit exit. Flipping sites also lends to faster scaling. I can earn 10 months of profit in one month and use all of it to invest in 10 more sites etc.
You take the risk side of SEO out with flipping. You don't have a portfolio of sites you have have to worry about. Simply build, drop the losers, flip the winners. Then reinvest into partly more sites to rank/flip and partly real businesses/assets with nothing to do with Google.
that shit hasn't been the same since they spun it off from sitepoint. back in the day there were fucking gems everywhere on the sitepoint marketplace. now it's a bunch of assholes selling 1 page clickbank sites for $100,000.
This.
Back then webmasters made REAL SITES to earn money from and for that matter SOLD LINKS on REAL sites.
Now everyone thinks they can make $ from a half-assed, duplicate content, shitty affiliate site that only suckers buy.
As the kind soul who visited one of my blog put it:

I'm no longer positive where you are getting your info, but great topic. I must spend a while finding out more or figuring out more. Thanks for excellent information I used to be in search of this information for my mission.
Was going to post exactly this. Plus the broker needs to protect themselves from you and the buyer getting together without them and completing the sale so they're really good about handling every detail to make sure you can't cut them out of their commission. 15% is well worth the lack of headache you get from using a quality broker.
Plus, when they say "we have a prospective buyer who wants access to analytics" and you respond, "great, let me know when there is money in escrow and I'll hook him up", that's the end of it, no back and forth bullshit.
Edit: LOL, just noticed your sig, well played.
Must suck to know I'm selling websites for 83x Valuation

If you have a real website with a few months, or more, of income and traffic you can demonstrate, try these guys: flippingenterprises.com
They do charge a fee, but they help you evaluate your website - and are interested in getting a good price. They take most of the agony out of the transaction, and they have a list of interested buyers. Everything was above board and honest IMO.
I just used them, and I'm satisfied.

Goddamn, don't out here the good tricks for nothing.
In real - to monitor flippa and check what good sites are there and, if not more valuable, you can see by comments and stats whats problems are there in a niche- thats the real value of flippa.
Flippa is as a check tool more useful as a auction tool.
If you see 3 sites from a niche all going for cheap because "they are a great chance" and they sell it
because "they like to build websites but find holding boring" (which means "i find it boring to make money" - yeah, sure faggot) - then
you should know that there is a problem in that niche with that kind of websites (which was, in the past, to 90% clickbank sites).
CLickbank = waste of time and money until you did not email spam it or something.
