Flippa is just really noisy. It seems like the majority of listings are short-lived scraping sites with no revenue, or sites with revenue being sold for outrageous amounts of money.
As a buyer, I'd like to see a Flippa-like site that only sells established, legitimate sites and businesses. Basically, the high-end antique shop alternative to the flea market that is Flippa.

- PonyGumbo 15y ago'Legitimate' in this context is not intended to be synonymous with 'raking in cash'. I'm talking about profitable businesses with sustainable revenue models - not someone with a niche, keyword specific domain they registered three months ago that's benefiting from some temporary adsense luck. My business partner and I sold a business a couple of years ago because our hearts just weren't in it anymore. It was profitable, but not enough to offset the pain in the ass of running it. We sold it to a group with a collection of complimentary businesses, and they've had great luck with it.
