    Has anyone heard of: ibuyuglysites.com ? I don't see the logic to it. Has anyone actually sold a site to the owner? I'm going to give it a shot :p

    Person buys crappy site with traffic >> revamps everything for the better (SEO, ad placement, design) and makes more money.

    It's not about ugly or nice. It's all about traffic.
    Craigslist.org is an ugly site but I doubt that he can buy it.

    Yeah, traffic and content is key. I guess he's good at marketing sites. A new design doesn't cost too much..

    It's a neat business concept, that's for sure!

    I'd love to see some of the sites he has flipped (if he has yet).. you never know, he might just hit it big off someones old ideas!

    he's probably going to counter offer something around $10 and turn over $100 in less than a month with it.
