I do know that if you spot a real scam on Flippa, you can write to their customer service team and they will investigate immediately.

One of my sites sold for $150 only because I didn't set a reserve. It was (and still is) earning $35+ every month. So that buyer got a massive bargain.

Sometimes people sell sites because they're no longer working in that niche. My advice is to do some research on the seller. Chat to them on Skype. Get in contact with them and discuss your needs. There are many reputable sellers and you can find big bargains on Flippa.
Good luck!

What are the things to avoid when buying a site? Alot of sellers at Flippa claim income but I'm suspicious about anyone selling a site that supposedly makes ~$50/mo for a few hundred dollars. Also many sellers say they're webdesigners/programmers and their business is making and selling sites, but are there alot of scammers mixed in?<br>I've never owned a website before so I'm very new to all this; I'm just looking into buying an inexpensive site to start.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I appreciate it. You raise an interesting point here. Some might say that a website is only worth what someone will pay for it. What information do you use to determine what a site might be worth? Do you think so? Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I appreciate it. You raise an interesting point here.

I am still working out how to get best return on Flippa because sometimes sites undersell massively there. Great ops for buyers there and sometimes good deals for sellers. Good luck with the next one. I have to say your site should have sold for more than $380. I am still working out how to get best return on Flippa because sometimes sites undersell massively there.

I certainly don't consider myself as "getting into the site flipping game" yet. I have only sold two sites so far. I'm interested in learning more about this stuff though. In particular, I need to know some of the simple things a person can do to increase the value of a site they're selling. Thanks for sharing your experiences here with us. I'm about to go check out your blog now for some good tips! Thanks Ryan! I certainly don't consider myself as “getting into the site flipping game” yet. I have only sold two sites so far.

I'm a website flipper myself (more of a broker for other people I should say), and if you are still new to this, its a lot of fun. So much to learn, so many ways to tweak auctions, etc etc. I mean, there are so may variables that can change a 200$ sale into a 2000$ sale. Good luck with it, I would love to hear how you go! Good to hear another fellow Melbournian getting into the site flipping game! Congrats on the sale!
