Am I missing something here? Are these bidders idiots? Being Scammed?

- Start date
Most likely suspended because of the use of the word GUARANTEE. You can't really use that word in an auction for all sorts of legal reasons.
Have to agree here. I listed a site last month (doing a little house cleaning) and it sold at the BIN price within minutes, before I even finished writing out a tweet about it. Of course it was producing passive income from organic traffic and had a decent history of traffic stats (about a year).
I guess there are people watching Flippa closely for quality sites that snatch them up with the quickness.
^ Truth.
Have let go of both $xxx,xxx networks and $x,xxx smaller sites there, have one going right now it's up to 5.5K. Flippa is like anything else, take the good with the bad, yes most are shit but yes there's some gold there and yes you can get good coin for your properties if you present them well.

I wish I read this thread before I put my listing live. Selling at BIN within minutes is awesome. I would have hit you guys up for tips.
To find stuff on Flippa simply:
Search by net profit 100-500/month.
I see not even two pages of content.

just a thought folks...i have seen certain closed communities that use a group of 10-20 people to bid & comment up their flippa listings.
Regardless of quality of site...more bids n comments it gets the more it's going to sell for.

Is this guy using massive passive traffic (I think that's what it's called, but the sales letter made me throw up in my mouth a bit) to build a million sub domains and then flip it on flippa? How do some people sleep at night...
I'm trying to sell a 2 y/o PR2 site for several days, and it's just sitting there with no bids. Should I set the ending date for two weeks or less? I am using the full 29 days the site gives me.
And I have 6 people watching my auction. Is this good? Sorry for the hurr durr, I'm new at this.

very unlikely that you will get a bid or anything more than just tire kickers until the auction winds down.
The common theme at Flippa is that auctions will sit there untouched until they have less than a few days left, or even a few hours. Reason being is that bids obviously drive up the price, so buyers would rather wait, be paient, and swoop in at the last minute.
^ Have to disagree.
People do not wait until the auction is almost over, perhaps on small shitty sites maybe just to grab the no bid/1 bid auctions... You'll usually find that if you don't get a bid in your first 1-3 days, you're not going to get any. If you do ^ Yeah it might be last minute, and you'll get peanuts for it if you didn't set a reserve.
Not sure which listing is yours but a) Don't skimp out on the ad, get it bolded, add a thumbnail, highlight your ad, etc. It really makes a difference. b) Don't put a BIN, start off at $1 if you really want to start seeing movement. c) Make a screen cap video of your site, backend, monies, traffic logs, proof that it banks (if it banks) and gets traffic. In that video you pre-sell and pitch softly (or hard) to get them excited. d) ^ Someone mentioned private groups and influenced bids/comments, they do exist and it does happen.
*I just got a PM yesterday from a guy "Hey, my auction is hot, it has 5 bids on it now you should come check it and grab it".. < The way it read seemed 100% scam and like friends bumped his bids JUST under reserve so the next real bid would be caught on the hook for the sale. I reported the fucker and they actually removed his listing, which was nice to see - they do give a fuck it's just hard for them to filter all the bullshit.
Spend a REALLLLLLY good amount of time on your auctions description and literally use that as a long form sales letter. I wouldn't usually out myself but here's one from a while back that got big, and someone outside flippa (then sitepoint) came along and changed my world. Inspect >
Don't be shy to use Flippa for your bigger shit, there ARE a handful of huge players there and they buy up 6digit shit fast if it's a real biz. The smaller stuff can literally be childs play so for those of you still ewhoring and exploiting CS etc. with little to no results, nothing is stopping you from building out a half decent site on any aged domain and flippin' it for serious coin..
