Is Flippa the Biggest Joke / Fraud now??

[LarryDomain]

All I seem to see listed on Flippa now is IDN domains. And newbies (new accounts) seem to be shill bidding it up to the 0,000s. Like the recent IDN PET.com. Nothing worth looking at nowadays at Flippa. Is the end nearing for them? They definitely need new leadership.

Well, OrganicFruitsAndVegetables.com is very rare...there is only one of them....

Hehe

I'm a little surprised it's even available, but it looks like I can dive right in and register:

organicfruitsandvegetablesandallotherniceandtastyfood.com

If I shop around, it'll only be $10 to register and I can then list on Flippa (another $9, I believe) so i'll only be $19 in and then i'm bound to get an Editor's Choice for this name, particularly as it includes all other (nice and tasty) food as well...

Who knows, I could end up selling for a few thou.. or much more!

Wish me luck with this one guys...

So much amazing names for bargain prices, mamma mia!! BIN price high but sold for penny! WTF?? Sorry....
Respect to NamePros and all your kindness and help!

Exercising with Flippa?!.. Be careful you don't pull a financial hamstring...

 

[Elvy]

I'm just trying to learn reading your advices, watching auctions.... searching possible end users for my possible domains bought by Flippa haha
But Flippa is a little bit funny..

You seem nice... may I offer a well-intentioned word of advice?

Anyway, here goes... You won't learn very much at all from the Namepros forum. Most of the people on here seem to think (wrongly) that there is a kind of hierachy (of knowledge) where "domaining" is concerned, or that you have to "get your time in", like a time-served apprentice, in order to be respected - it's all garbage...

If a person is new to domains and they're even half-way intelligent then THEIR ideas will, on the whole, be much better than most of the people's on here. All you need to know about are the various extensions, to know that shorter is generally better, and have some insight re: risk/reward and marketing.

That's it. Everything else is a waste of time.

Good luck,

You're right, actually.
Thank you, my intuition say I need to find my way in this ocean.
My way or highway

I'm not really a fan of the curated method like BB, but if that's what it takes to get rid of the shills and riff-raff, I'll take it. Of course, some of the names I've listed there could probably be called riff-raff, lol.

spilled my coffee laughing, one's riff-raff is another's gem lol

 

[Ophelie]

I'm sure there's a lot of inside deals these guys are involved in also Something new needs to popup to replace this cheating system. About the only thing worth looking at with Flippa is Ofelia

Someone needs to sue Flippa. No one has made a genuine sale over there.

Got money from me once, never again.

I know its an Old thread, but I got a Reply from Flippa when asking how to come to Editors choice and what is the procedure, they simply stated about reviewers and such b.s. Than I told them I dont believe them. Ive took several screenshots in the last months which prove that their selection procedure is compromised. They are just pushing to Editors choice 5-6 users CONSTANTLY with 60%+ of the mediocre names. They just add to that pot few premiums later and that was it.
