poll Do you buy domain names at Flippa?

[Robbie]

I am interested to know, how many domain name investors are buying / hunting for domain names over at Flippa?

After reading a few threads on NamePros, I was considering highlighting some names for sale at Flippa, but is this somewhere that you are buying domain names?

I bought an $1 name in auction.

I heard flippa is not cool.
Also I cant remember my login info, and doubt I ever will, so answer is no

 

[tupungato]

It's not Flippa that is not cool, but seller changing mind. This can happen in Dan, Sedo and Afternic as well.

In my case it is a 'no'.

 

[poweredbyme]

They started to ask for personal documents. Then I have stopped even visiting their website.

In the past, yes I used to buy domains and websites from there.

 

[Skyvisum]

No

Once was a time 4/5 years ago that Flippa was the go to marketplace for domainers (as I remember it). They only dealt in domain names then. I bought and sold a few names there in auctions when I first started domaining without any issues. Then they got too popular and over saturated with rubbish and over the top reserves. There was also a lot of suspicion of favouritism around the "super sellers" getting editors choice and extra promotion on poor names. I think they then fell out of favour with domainers and expanded into selling websites and businesses with dubious earning figures. I believe they were sold at one point(?) and their best asset Kevin left meaning customer support was almost non existent. From there its become a shadow of its former self as far as domains are concerned.

Having said all that I bought a name there about 3 weeks ago for the first time in years so I had to answer yes.

Not in long time got sick of people not accepting their own bin. With sites I have had problems with sites with security always set up dodgy.

Bought two great LLL.coms on flippa back in 2013 and 2017. Just listed a two word domain on there last week to see if it is alive.

Funny enough the one from 2017 is no longer in my history - may have to do something with the person behind that sold it to me. Will be interesting if my sale works out - actually got one bid so far, then again its at about 10% of domain value (yes there is a reserve...)

 

[The Durfer]

yea, id have to say because of the renigging on the sellers part at that site, not the site itself, that deters me. ty.

 

[Cush]

It is a TOTAL waste of time. Most of the domains on the site were listed YEARS ago and the ownership has since changed hands. I have inquiries out on 100+ domains and have heard back on ZERO.
