Will Flippa close down or be bought out?

[voiceofreason]

I'm looking at the highest sales on Flippa for last 90 days and also their traffic since their terrible site redesign in November.
Absolute laughable shambles.
So are they more likely to fold up shop soon or be bought out?
Who might buy them?

The base cost to seller with a successful domain name sell is actually lower with the latest pricing
(Latest pricing: $25 / 10% vs Previous pricing: $9 / 15%).

Not at 250 and below. So for little domain sales it's more now.

Flippa has the perfect website address for an auction website

Flippa could sell houses via automated auction or cars or er anything or cryptocurrency

Flippa Could be the next e bay it only needs an entrepreneur that has a vision for their Idea etc

There are thousands of other domains that can top flippa.com
The name itself is annoying to even say.
It does not at alll roll off the tongue.
Money and getting in the game early is what made that brand. Not the name.
It was a very poor choice of a name pick I think. And many others think that as well.
I should not have to repeat the name to clients 5 times in order for them to understand it.
I personally say "Flipper" when I talk to anyone about it.
It's like me asking if you want to come over for "Dinna".
It's more or so a speech impediment.

It's all about branding man.

It is about branding

It's not a keyword it's a brandable

Anyone who buys it will make it more successful

The name seems more well known in Hip-Hop world for the rapper, Skippa Da Flippa.
So yes the parlance seems much more suited to rap lingo then a high quality domain name.
Perhaps Flippa can sell it to Skippa when they close down finally.
I hope your buddies do well beating Flippa quickly and soundly.
