Who has noticed Flippa really slow the last few days? I've been receiving less bids than usual and noticed other listings have been less inactive.

It seems to be a little slow on the bids, for sure. We just put an auction up yesterday. It's a network of 4 sites, monetized through AdSense earning $80/month. We set it at $1, No Reserve and still no bids. (Check auction in sig)

Really strange...it's been up almost 10 hours now...

There's been a flood of new start up sites listed on flipper lately so the supply has far outstripped demand.

Flippa has become very diluted/saturated and sales are starting to fall behind because of this

I listed two sites this week... didn't sell a one. Was discouraged but it looks like its just been a slow week

I've noticed Flippa extremely slow to respond today...It takes minutes to load some of the site pages, which won't make sellers happy if buyers can't find or navigate to auctions...

Compare Flippa load times to Warrior on Pingdom:

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/?url=ht...om/&id=4820157

Overall, Flippa is 7 seconds slower than Warrior (at least from my PC), and 7 seconds doesn't sound like much, but it could really impact Flippa's bottom line...

What's Up Flippa???

Yes, I thought I was the only one...lower bids and overall activity. Im guessing its the new rush of these sites with potential, kinda dilutes the websites already generating income and/or traffic, plus many believe website flipping is an easy quick buck, which it can be true, but the big bucks come when you sell websites you've taken the time to grow (IMO).

But yes, I have noticed a downtime for the flippa community.

I think people are finally taking action on flippa WSOs!

So the market gets diluted with junk...

It has been VERY slow since the 4th of July weekend. Ever since then, I am seeing less and less members online. It would usually be around 1800-2500 and now it's 1000-1300 at max.

57% websites sold in the past 3 months it was over 60% last time...
