Where would you flip a site for $100k+?

[Crazycam727]

In the future, I'll probably be flipping a business(es) for this amount (or more).

I would ideally not like to use flippa. They have a 7.5% fee, and escrow has a 0.8% fee,
So if I sold a site for $100k through flippa, I would be losing $8,300 just in fees.

Empire Flippers success fee is 15%, and that is excluding the Escrow fees. If I used them, I would be losing $15,000+ in fees


Of course, I am aware that these sites need to make money, and I have no issue with that.
However I am always on the lookout to minimze the amount I spend in fees.


Is there another marketplace that charges lower fees, and uses Escrow?


I'm aware that I'm asking to "Have my cake and eat it" here, but It's always worth to ask.

Thanks.

Get a buyer first for 100k then fees will be your last concern.

On a serious note, I wouldnt recommend Flippa as you're most likely wont get that much. EF might bring you that and their fee is totally deserved as they are the ones that brought you the deal hassle free and gelped you secure the transaction.

I don't think so
You can't trust a small website when selling 100k website
Paying that fees and be sure that you won't get scammed will be better than risking losing it all

To be honest i would take the 15.000$ fee from empire flippers because i would have a higher chance of selling the business and also i would have a smooth transaction, no scam/bullsh1t.

Just factor the fees into the account sum total price and that's it. Let's say you want $100k for your website, list it for $125k that way buyer gets to pay for the fees in a way and you both get a smooth transaction

exactly what I was going to say.
Use EF all the way - they have the best buyers portfolio

go with empire flippers. Don't want to miss out on the 15k? well, sell your site for $115k

Technically, he would still lose out on about 3k so he would have to sell it for 118k to not fall short of 100k.

But jokes side, have a look at FEInternational maybe as they seem to be a serious.
If it's a Shopify store, then https://exchangemarketplace.com/ could be for you, if not, then MicroAquire seems promising too (https://microacquire.com/).

Best of luck!

I saw somewhere that FI belongs to the previous mod of this very section in BHW. Heard only good things about them.

That's impressive and I had no idea about that.
Their fee should be somewhere between 10-15%, but their agents seem to be worth it as they're very active in pursuing buyers.

Yup, they are. Here is the post

Thanks so much for the suggestions guys.

If I do list a site for that amount in the future, I’ll probably put it on FI and EF, to maximise the chance of a sale!

Yes, use Empire flippers, that is the way i would go

But they can sell your business at a much higher price?

 

[onlinemarketer12]

List on BHW for $30.

"Our commissions are capped at 5% - and we do more to help you sell."

Also, they have no-fee escrow.

I have not used empireflippers, only browsed, it seems like although the 15% is a lot, you get a lot more vetting than you do with say FLIPPA for example, where you have to navigate the boat loads of scammers.

Again, have not used it yet though.

 

[ReloadWithCrypto]

going to list my first business soon following this thread

 

[mezzofanti]

FEI and EF, and they both earn their fees ;-)

 

[Priince1337]

I'd rather pay a bit more in commission and receive good reliable offers rather than getting scammed on some noname site.
