Comment on Ask HN: What's Your Experience With Flippa?

Comments

I would say there's not a lot of real, valuable sites on Flippa but they do come through. Sites of lower prices do have a better chance being legit but there's also a lot of worthless sites created just to sell. If you have a website with real, verifiable income, you can get $10,000 for it, you just need to prove it.

If you sell it within the first year, you probably can't get more than 4-6 times monthly revenue (not enough history). If you've got 12 months of revenue history, the prices start going up and solid sites get 10-12 months revenue etc.

Good points...the sites I sold were 1 and 2 years old, with a solid record of revenue (however small). I recently tried to sell a brand new site (I built it in a weekend to test out a Php framework I wrote) but it was unsuccessful. It got a bid at $500, but I figured I'd keep it since it is making $50 a month already. I'll sell it again in a year and see how much I get then.
