Flippa Reduced their Fees to Attract Users, so where are people going to sell their site?

too greedy...i think its time to move on with private selling.

 

But where to move to?

 

I'm happy to see Flippa reduce their fees. Plans for future site selling is going to be great

 

I have to second that! That was an entertaining read! lol

 

I don't know about you guys but I would like to see Flippa allowing to sell adult related domains ^^
In terms of price: I find 15% or even 10% success fee way to expensive. And still, there are more then enough scammers with fake screenshots over there. So it's NOT about the pricing to keep the marketplace "clean".
They should cut the success fee to 5% and stop pretending they are reducing the prices when in fact they even want more money. Flippa is starting to be a bad idea. Same like Ebay and Paypal, great idea in the beginning and then a nightmare over the years ^^

 

You can sell adult, but only as a domain.

Flippa works with Paypal so I doubt they'd allow adult sites any time soon.

 

I wouldn't put domain sales and website sales in the same basket. It's a completely different marketplace where buyer and sellers think differently. I believe even Flippa has had a lot of problems understanding this... or misunderstanding it.

 

Well, they allow adult related domains but don't allow to list domains that have vulgar or bad language in the name, so it's pretty useless listing over there ^^

 

Aha, great scam trick from Flippa here, down first, then up (almost double commission if you carefully calculate). I no longer sell my sites on Flippa anymore, it's better for me to go there and buy, instead of sell.

 

but where in the world i can sell my adult websites? here i can not open new thread flippa not allow...

 

Here are some other places you could check out for domain sales:

SEDO (probably the largest marketplace for domains - list free & 10-20% sale commission)
DNForum.com (believe membership fee of $69 min to sell)
Namepros.com (can buy/sell for free) (traffic "ok" for a decent selling domain)




Here below are a couple more, though the exposure is less & I've not been there for awhile:

Here's one that recently went under, it's on Godaddy Auction Currently and will likely still receive traffic (albeit low) to use as new buyer sees fit: ($1,288 min)

Lots of talk on here about Flippa being a poor marketplace for websites that likely have fake traffic and revenue. What about the domains that are for sale on Flippa? They tend to have some fantastic names available and most of the time the names go for a good chunk of change.

 

this is good thread with many intelligent comments
but in regard sites with documented earnings
the comment that many ginormous sites such as twitter would be valued at a few thousand back in the day does not represent a mis-pricing at the time
there was no sure evidence that they would climb out of the muck and soar
it is totally reasonable to value websites at no more that 12 months current earning in lite of the volatile behavior of the monopolist who controls 70% + of the search market and also holds a adjacent monopoly on the most likely ad company to monetize a site.
this is a monopoly who regularly puts an investor in a website at risk by "updating" its search listing and ad policies.
This "updating"[ie "screw you webmaster"]...
In 98% of the cases this will be to the detriment of an existing owner.
Why absorb this risk without a compensating lowering of the Price/earnings ratio of a website?
That means the web property has less value because the investor takes on greater risk.
An Investor in securities faces similar unforeseen risks
the company may have adverse business that causes earnings to drop and the stock along with it...
there may be government interference or geopolitics that impact the company
but there can also be positive developments that increase the value of the investment
better earnings,takeovers,spin offs,dividend increases,stock buybacks.
But the investor in websites is faced with the disgusting proposition of being a sharecropper on the gooman farm where they control every aspect of your destiny
even if you think you can make a difference.
The chances of anything positive coming from that relationship are nil
any advance you make will not be as a passive investor..you will have to be both lucky and smart to out maneuver the Matt Cutts Crue.
So That is why it is not uncommon to see stocks at a p/e of 15-20 or even 100s [gpro amzn etc.] of times annual earnings yet websites selling at 1 times earnings
the free market[not me] is saying no future upside to be priced in with gooman as dictator ; things change fast on the net
it is the rational free market pricing in the horrorshow that runs the internet and how much that risk is discounted to the website investor.
you can make money in websites but it is not a passive income stream to rely on
the marketplace says so by the values
