Should I buy a Starter Site on Flippa as a beginner?

Probably stuffed with duplicate content. The same content they use for the next mugging, and the next and so on.

possible if you used an expired super domain

It is better to own your own site so you know how to form how to advertise etc

First of all: BEWARE of things that seem too good to be true on Flippa. They prey on people who don't understand the business/get tripped up by fake analytics and/or promise things that likely won't happen.

Couple questions:

• Is this an affiliate site? What's the % commission for the products? @ $20 for physical products that means it probably costs a minimum of $200, or if it's courses/info products it might be like $49.
• WHO would buy the product? How are you going to get visitors to the site? Just because the site exists doesn't mean anyone would visit it. Sure, if you get $20 & only spend $10 on hosting that's great, but first you have to get some visitors to your site. Then you have to convince them to click on the affiliate link/your product. Then if it's your site you have to convince them to part with their hard earned money.
• Do you have an SEO strategy in place? Do you have any SEO knowledge?
• Do you understand the niche the site is in & have a general idea of how you would grow it once you buy it?
• How would you get traffic to the site?
• How do you get paid?

They might say that they don't have those numbers because it's a starter site without traffic, but then you just said they "get organic traffic from Facebook ads" which means either you're confused or they're bullsh*tting you hard.

Yeah, I probably don't know the answer to any of those questions. I bought an expired domain so I have no need to buy a website from Flippa anymore. But those are all very good points that I would not have realized on my own.

What is an expired super domain? Apparently my expired domain is 4 years old and has 97 backlinks, 27 referring domains, and 645 total no follow links... but 0 indexed pages in Google. I think the last one means something bad...

Yes.

if you want to buy a website earning 1k a month that cost 24k .....

there many sellers on this forum might be able to help you.
