This is one of the worst listings on Flippa. There's no information at all. No breakdown of traffic over time or by source. Nothing about how the transition to a new owner will be handled. No information about how billing is done and what information, if any, will be transferred to the new owner -- if everyone had to re-subscribe under new ownership most of that revenue is going to disappear. No information about the site architecture and what kind of resources are required to run it. No information about the customer service load generated.

It's like listing a house for sale with no photos, no description, and a fence around the property so you can't go check it out in person either. Just a lot number and a price tag. And we really are talking about the price of a house here...

But... it's from 37Signals!!

How can you possibly need any more information than that?

So this headline says that something undefined is "listed" on something else undefined.

Talk about lazy and useless.
