    [[Thread split from A Flip and a Flop, some reasons why a flip can fail - split by Clinton on 24th May]]

    btw - does this seem a little on the low side or am I missing something obvious

    He's selling a splog. How much do you think splogs are worth? Even with income, the risk factor is so high that you may be counting it's expected life span in terms of days, maybe weeks, but certainly not months.

    I guess.

    I didn't look past the listing but my point is more on the perceived value.

    Splog or not, it's technically aged and it is (according to the listing) PR4. I haven't assessed the site as a worthwhile purchase, but six months ago, a starter site would have gone for more than this showing a sign of the times.

    It had more relevancy when it was part of my original post (re: A Flip and a Flop - some reasons why a flip can fail) but then Clinton split the thread ... thanks Clinton

    Sorry Justin, just thought you'd get more replies in the due diligence forum.

    But, yes, the point of your post in the other thread was how prices for starter/template sites has dropped through the floor. That effect seems to be spilling over to other sites at the lower end of the market.

    Splog or not, it's technically aged and it is (according to the listing) PR4
    Interestingly, Flippa's last blog post was about buying aged domains.

    Here's another fun formula for you Clinton.....

    Splog + Aged Domain = Burned Domain

    LOL.

    However, do not underestimate the number of fools out there. And do not underestimate (some of the) Flippa sellers' ingenuinity in finding and exploiting them.
