flippa experience selling

Honestly, it sounds like a recipe to lose money or not make much to me.

A brand new site (3 months or less) basic listing is $9.
Upgraded listings/promotions are available for $29 and $49.
I'm pretty sure Flippa still takes a success fee on top of that.

Depending on the upgrades you buy.. You'd have to sell a brand new, no/little traffic site for $20-$75 just to make a slim profit.

(PS. I haven't sold on flippa in years so maybe someone else knows something that I don't)

if u have experience, I will appreciate that... need that info

I was sold over 60 site on flippa with basic listing and less reserve price

I am of the impression & experience that the whole "make sure you have 1,000,000+ words in your listing so it has better chance of selling" is crap. I Have bought and sold domains on flippa w/ little or no description / info - because frankly some things are just self explanatory. Granted both were domains not established sites.

I also just tested out the upgrades for once - Ive sold sites with no upgrades and wanted to see what all the fuss was about... Ive spent over $100 on upgrades for a current listing that did not sell first time around, and i am actually getting LESS views / potential buyer attention than before... I hope they have a good explanation or a refund for me for these sorts of results... I mean come on, the listing is sitting on the front page Featured section & still doesnt have more views...

Im sure some of you are saying well its the domain then, i wish it was, but the domain is premium w/ 2,700,000+ global monthly searches on an exact match

I think if you have quality sites to sell, its going to be 50/50 unless your slangin envelopes full of gold dust or glitter haha

very cool sharing, what else guys , any other experience related to upgrades in flippa?
