Great article. I love to see what sites do well on flippa, but some of them boggle my mind. Perhaps it's because not all buyers or sellers are rational, but I have to also think that there are schemes and scams that I'm not aware of at work there. I'd love to hear explanations for some of the sales I see there. Flippa is a marvelous wasteland of make-money-fast sites being marketed as make-money-fast schemes themselves. Although there are diamonds in that rough, surely there is another place where people go to buy or sell more established, traditional web-based businesses. Where is that place? |

I don't think there is much possibility of making a success of a similar site for bigger cap web businesses, Thy are far less liquid assets and private sales would probably always be preferable to all parties involved once you're past a certain value threshold.
I really am not a fan of flippa, they have a great concePt and executed well yet they took the easy and (short term) more profitable route of allowing any old crap in. It's much like a lot of new online advertising platforms, there's a serious trust issue with all of the one ive seen where filtering out the scams, junk and misrepresentations is so time consuming and riskier it becomes not worth the time. I want to see flippa for quality small liquid sites (do they even exist and if thy do why would they be sold anyway?) and advertising platforms I can trust. Then I can start using these services.
