Site Flipping Guru

I have had a few people ask me recently where is the best place to sell websites quickly when flipping sites.  The answer to that is really no different than where to sell sites in general.  Most of your website selling sites will give you the option of how many days you want to list your sites for.

EBAY

Let’s start by taking a look at Ebay.  Ebay is my number one choice for selling websites.  It isn’t everyone’s first choice but it’s mine as it is the place where I have had the most success.  When you list a site for sale on Ebay you can choose to list the site for 7, 5, or 3 days I believe. Ebay use to have a 1 day option but I’m not sure that option is still available.  To be honest though, I wouldn’t want to list my site on Ebay for any less than 3 days.  Sure if you list for 1 day your site will be closer to the top in search results straight away, however as it is only listed for 1 day you are really cutting down the number of potential buyers that will see your listing.

I usually list my sites for 5 days and have found that to be the most successful for me as it gives long enough for enough potential buyers to find my listing and not too long that people will find something else in the meantime while they are waiting for the listing to end.

FLIPPA

Flippa is a very popular choice for site flippers for selling sites and many people have had a lot of success with Flippa (previously Sitepoint).  Flippa also gives you a choice of how long you want to list your site for and can have a listing on for just 24 hours.  With Flippa, your listings are seen on the front page when you first list them so the first 24 hours or so is when they will have the most exposure, so 24 hour listings on Flippa can work quite well.  Once again though, 24 hours is limiting the number of potential buyers that see your listing as you are only showing it to people that log into the site during that day.

WARRIOR FORUM

Warrior forum is great as it has a lot of members and so your listing will get viewed by a lot of people, however, many of the members here are more savvy than your general buyers on Ebay so you really need to offer a great website at a great deal to make a sale.  The competition here in my opinion is stronger only because it is a stronger buyer range that you are selling to.  With a listing on Warrior forum you can state whatever length you like for your listing.  You do need to be a paid member of Warrior forum to create a listing.

DIGITAL POINT FORUM

This forum is completely free to list a site for sale, although you do need to have a certain number of posts before you can list anything for sale.  This is a good place for starting out, although it doesn’t have as good a buyer range so you can expect to sell your site for quite a low price here.

Conclusion

So these are the main places for selling your websites and as you can see they all give you different options on the time limit of your listings.  I would recommend listing your sites for at least 3 days though and possibly 5 if you can as you do give yourself more exposure and increase your chance of a good sale.
