@ Freddie – You definitely inspired me with your first flip, it was great as well. Really really good use of the BM theme, which I’m hoping to use in the future.

@ Jay – Oh snap.. That’s not right, that is totally going to be the title, and you’re gonna make a killing because of that title, and you’re going to have to pay Freedie royalties!

Great looking site, Elijah! Congrats, you not a site flip virgin anymore. Keep it going!

I really like the color combination. It seemed to go really well with your topic.

Keep them coming and the concert must have been great!

Hope you didn’t get too drunk. You know you should drink and flip!

Peace!

Congrats, E on your first flip and I was like “Wow” how the hell did you get into tattoo but then selling it in under 2 hours was a real nice work… The thing is it just shows to everyone that it is possible – still…

Thanks Tara – I realize now that the site’s value was more than what I charged, but at the same time I wanted to set the buy now option at a reasonable price so it would sell faster – and I could meet my deadline of today (sunday), which I did!

Hey Guys

Elijah, come on Skype later.

Re: The fast BIN: Selling fast doesn’t “necessarily” mean it would have sold for more. Many times, buyers just prefer to BIN rather than bid, especially on newer, low priced sites.
At under $200, it’s really more of an annoyance to bid and wait to see if you “win”, if you already KNOW you want the site. Know what I mean?

Not saying this particular site wasn’t worth more, just pointing out that it’s not 100% certain just because of the fast sale.

You had a great sales page and really made took advantage of laying out the “extras”. I liked it.

I think your site was worth 1 BILLION dollars!

Cheers!

@ Joe – report coming soon!

@ WV – I like taking risks, so yes I am encouraging you to talk!

@ J – Indeed.

@ Bcarter – You’re absolutely right. I could have sold if for probably $100-200 more than I did. Being my first time selling a blog I under estimated the value of my hard work

Hmm, if it sold that fast with the BIN, maybe your price was too low. If I had the funds, I would have snatched that site up in a heartbeat. Bcarters last blog post..An appology to Romelo at I-Tong.com
