I didn't get to see all Jays WAbinar tonight, so hopefully this wasn't covered!!
Just looked at costs involved for Flippa , correct me if I am wrong :
Listing fee $29
Success fee 5%...minimum pay of $10...so any sale less than $200 will pay the $10.
So if you sell a site for $100, you can expect costs to be $39????
If that's the case...WOW..WOW..WOW...39% of your money gone already.
Add in the cost of domain name purchase : $7 - 10 and it doesn't leave much meat on the bone for sellers of lower priced sites....
As a break even you need a site to sell for $46 or thereabouts!
How many hours would you think it takes to do the kw research/preparation and listing....??
What sort of return on the time spent as an hourly wage would you think??
It will be interesting to see what sort of price Jay's site reaches!!
