Big Week For Flippa With Two 6 Figure Sales

[A D]

It was a big week for Flippa with two six figure website sales. You always have to take everything with precaution on Flippa because you may see a website listed as sold but then sometime the deal does not go through. You usually don’t see that the sale did not go through until its relisted. [...]

Hey, thanks for the news. I'm keeping track of them (Flippa) much more these days.

Great read. Interesting indeed (as well as curious).

I too have many domains on sale at Flippa that I hope will sell soon and well

I don't use Flippa. They add the price next to the sellers name, but don't subtract it even if the sale never went through. Or has this been fixed? Some of the claims of selling $500k in sites are outrageous for what they've peddled to get that inflated number. I've stayed far away from Flippa after 1 deadbeat that gave me a headache over a sale. I will check out domains for sell every once in a while to see how many bids they get to determine why, but that is just about it. I believe the company down under needs to revamp their business model in order to be taken seriously these days (such as making a deposit for an account so if a transaction falls through, the seller would still get some funds and the higher amount of purchase a user could make, the larger the deposit must be—like Sedo). It would deter a lot of people for chasing the reserve, winning and not paying.

Maybe they could team up or merge with Fabulous.com to get some good leadership in there and maybe more people would take the site seriously (and Fab could use Flippa as their auction platform as well).

They have fixed up that issue and most of the deadbeat bidders/sellers have been banned - they've really cleaned up their act their act.
We also check regularly for domains…. a few interesting ones at the moment, Finance.info, NewsItems.com, Overfeed.com - plenty of LLLL.com there too.

I enjoy reading about recent website sales.
I'm surprised that more domain bloggers don't do this...

I enjoy reading about recent website sales.

but some sales of several ugly names sound a bit strange ...

These sales cant be real

if they not, Flippa has some explaining to do.

sales cant be real

I don't refer to Flippa sales but to ALL big domains auctions sites that every week sell million$ of very strange names that often have no common meaning
