Please list more about the sale and how it turns out. I currently have a website on Flippa that is getting hundreds of uniques a month and is quickly climbing. I set the reserve at 0 and started the auction at $1.

Thanks

I'll update what happen to my listing soon when it sold.

Regarding your site, how many people visits your listing so far?
What is your ending day?

Thanks

When you list for 30 days, there is no hurry and people will watch to see what happens. So, nothing happens because everyone is watching to see what happens. A reserve price will tend to drive people away too.

I know it is scary to fly naked, but you will get more action that way. Usually you will end up with a higher price, but sometimes you fall short. That is just the way it works, for some reason. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Yes, I read about scarcity and immediately made the change.

I listed 1 site for $197 BIN with just $1 start price, 5 days auction, got no bid for first 4 days. Site was making $10 per month with adsense. last day I got 3 bids upto $20 only. decided not to sell it. IMHO Flippa is getting tough now.

Thanks

Update : Currently having 9 bids at $60.
Already break even for Flippa cost; ($19 for listing, $40 for featured)

One thing I learn, I also did upgraded my listing when it had less than 4 hours left. (precisely at 2 hour and plus).

You are still in the hole

People have very short attention spans so if you list your site for any length of time, then odds are they will either forget about it or buy something else as most people want the immediate gratification.

Good luck with yours!

Thanks Lee

That's true Mike.
The domain price, not break even yet.

For hosting, I'm using hostgator, which also hosts other site.

Thanks

Ok, I sold 2 sites last year and 1 last month. The prices were $900, $3,300, and the last month was $3,500. I always select the 3-day auction and must not post during weekends. Best day based on my experience is tuesday or wednesday. I always set BIN a couple of hundred higher than reserved.

Thanks

From what I can see many websites end of getting not sold. It is ok for flippa because they still get the $20 fee but not the seller.

UPDATE : My site just sold at $60
Well, not good, but a good start

This is my first blog sold on Flippa.

PS : Hopefully the bidder changed his mind and I can relist the site on Flippa for free :p
Leant something important this time.

NEVER start my list at $1

Why?

because the increment is too low ....$5 for each bids.

Not good.

Thanks

Saw the site, it looks good. It is unfortunate the auction was on the loss making side with cost of the domain and the money (or time) spent developing the site.
