Have you browsed Flippa website?

Most sites on Flippa are garbage and their revenues/traffic are either completely fake, or artificially inflated during the one month that analytics are shown for. You have to be very careful on Flippa and really perform your due diligence.
A few gems pop up on Flippa from time to time. I have a few custom filters which email me potential diamonds in the rough. E.g. a combination of minimum revenue, age, PR and price. That weeds out 99% of the garbage.

Not that I'm interested in buying any or I'm in favor of any. Some of them have screenshot of their paypal account.
I was actually shocked to find that you can buy Google + and Facebook likes...
I have a friend who owns a few subways. What he shared was, usually owning a subway is a volume business. You would make $2,500 to $3,000 on each (avg location). But you have to slog a lot, manage employees and all other headaches.
owning a few of these micro sites is lot easier than running something like subway (is what came to my mind)

So many of the listings seem shady to me... "I made $1,500 with this site in 2 weeks"
But I'm selling the site for $1,995. WTF?

These are usually "fake", and will show in the lack of proof of revenue. Selling price usually falls within a range which makes you recover your payment in 18 months, if the seller does not set a minimum price around this range, it is just he wants to get rid of it for some reason (blocked by AdSense, blocked by Google, problems with Google search), or is just trying to get attention to the site to withdraw the sale if it does not get to something closer to this.
Hope this helps :)

There must be hundreds of unfinished or even just undermarketed SaaS based sites out there developers have made. Personally thats the kind of sites i'd love to buy, i just wish there was a place that sold them. Flippa is the best known site for selling sites and its full of crap.
Everything I find on Flippa is a Wordpress powered autoblog. I wish there was a way to filter any site on Flippa that is done in Wordpress.
Most sites there are sites that you would accidentally land from a search result and quickly hit the back button.
But the revenue they generate was an eye opener... Thoughts?
