How about, I DON'T want to make money, just wanted to tear flippa down. I'll take enough donations just to cover the server's cost.
sounds good, will just have to get enough webmasters on there to buy and sell their sites. good luck but why the hate for flippa?
If You're really that desperate to make flippa bust, go for it! Though if its a 100% clone then its illegal? I'm not sure.
Dont make it a clone make it similar concept like flippa provide all services they do and offcourse without fee, promoting it at start wont be easy i mean getting people using it but once u know how to get that things will work good
Why the hate for Flippa? I think you could quite easily create a new site with the same concept as the market is humungus! But the only thing you'll find difficult to begin with is getting website owners to list on it.
^^ exactly, I'm gonna shoot DP's admins an e-mail and see if they might be interested. DP hates SitePoint anyways right?
Someone needs to replace flippa, they will die they are charging to much. Who will take over that market? their is some money to be made for the winner..
OK, so besides making the site better by charging no fees. What else do you want from this site? Any marketing effort suggestion?
I think it's a great idea. There should be more options. The problem with free is that you end up with lots of crap postings (look at craigslist). So, somehow it needs to have some way of ensuring that only genuine and quality sites are put up for sale. Finding the right way to do this without wasting all your own time moderating everything will be the tricky part.
Oh yes, I guess it'll end up looking something like craigslist.. daymm. whatever, it'll be cool, i could probably set everything to expire in a week or two and auto delete after a month of no activity (sounds feasible?) Anyways, marketing it... any idea?
Seriously jokes aside. This good be a good idea! If you get the traffic, your a winner anyway. Who knows maybe 1 of the media groups might approach you to buy it.
OK, so granted, I'll do a revamped version of craigslist and call it Freeppa. Word on the streets is peopel be hating on flippa's massive fee.
I agree that Flippa charge outstanding rates. I can't believe they charge $19 to list a domain name?!? How are you supposed to make a profit?!? Someone please create something and charge less for listing domain names!
