I sold 5 sites on Sitepoint (name before it changed to flippa) same format, essentially the same site. I provided complete transparency, with regards to reports, traffic, what I used for Adwords campaigns, monthly revenues and exact expenses. I also provided information on how I built/got content for all the sites. I answered all questions as they came in and even created secondary admin accounts so users could see statistics etc. in real time. (only if they requested by DM) My lowest selling site was $800 and my most was $18,500 the user that bought that site re-skinned it and flipped it 6 months later for $72k, with less traffic and sales then what I had .. clearly I didn't know what I was selling, these were "fun" projects for me, that I got bored quickly, i find the fun in coming up and executing and once it get's to maintenance, I find I lose some interested. There are perfectly legit sites out there, you just have to dig and do your research. for buying, I bought 3 sites, 2 of which were under $500. one site I bought for $2k was a total scam! The user falsified all the data and I fell for it. I was able to get my money back through google payments though. one of the users on here recommended using Escrow, I'd agree. If your selling a legitimate site and can document all the elements of the business for users, you should be able to get good value for it. Just be careful! There are a lot of scammers on the site. |
