General Tips On How To Properly Buy Or Sell A Website

I'm thinking buy/sell websites here, but when I compare the DP and Sitepoint, same kind of the site/turnkey, it seem sitepoint always can ask for 30% - 50% more and get SOLD.

Does it means the audiance with two sites is really different? but it seems DP get better traffic for them on the site selling section, plus DP is free and sitepoint is not.

Any pro and con by buying/selling on both of it.

Any comment are welcome.

 

Sitepoint is terrible. I prefer BizBuySell

 

Very good post.
hope I can buy some sites soon.

 

nice thing. its a must for every users

 

Yes good tips, for beginners it's good.

 

How would one go about just asking the crowd,
If you owned this "domain"
What would you ask for it in an auction
or some marketplace situation?

 

I think I didn't clearly understand what you ask, but if you are asking about what I think you ask, one asks the crowd for how much they would give the domain if they owned it, mainly because they are new in selling domains... I think.

 

Another major difference:
winners never pay in SP

 

What do you mean by winner never pay?

 

I have put some sites up for sale on SP. Winning bidders never paid, never answered emails, etc...

 

osim tips shared thanks for ur help

 

I have a request....

Will people PLEASE STOP trying to build service sites on .INFO domains!!!

I mean crap like this ereminders.info (reminder service) urlzilla.info (proxy) hideguy.info (proxy)

I mean I can understand blogs, article sites, and general info sites but people are setting up EVERYTHING on .info domains...

I know they're cheap but have some dignity!
thanks

 

It's not going to happen. .info are cheap and people do that to make money...So if it doesn't work, loss is minimal...

 

yep, country specific tld does not necessarily owned by company or people from those country. So its fair game in my opinion
