You will find both good and crap products/services on any open market place, so you can't comment whether that market place is dead or alive. You need to know what exactly you looking for how to get that out from that market place. There are many people on flippa that sells genuine sites that actually makes them money, you just need to find out who is genuine and who not? Look into their profiles, their past history and I am sure you will find many good sellers on board.
Thanks
