It was a big week for Flippa with two six figure website sales. You always have to take everything with precaution on Flippa because you may see a website listed as sold but then sometime the deal does not go through. You usually don’t see that the sale did not go through until its relisted. I hope for these sellers everything goes through as these were some nice website sales.

Yellowee.com

Yellowee.com sold for $325,000 in a post auction negotiated deal. There were 6 bids  in the auction. The highest being $250,000.

The site does not make really anything now, Currently, Yellowee is generating minimal revenue. The revenue amount showing on Flippa is from Adsense; we also have a few Yellowee users paying subscription fees.

Now that development is complete, the only cost would be hosting and any other development you would want to do to the site.  The $800 figure for Expenses on Flippa is the amount we pay to host all of our websites (including Yellowee).

FusionStyles.info

FusionStyles.info sold for $35,000, there were 13 bids.

Interesting deal as it is 313 German Language websites in one deal. Here is the description:

I am offering for sale a network of 313 German language affiliate marketing sites. Sites are on AUTOPILOT so the only German word you need to know is Werbekostenerstattung (Advertising Fees) because next to it you will find the amount of money you have earned during the current month.

If you wonder why would you buy a German network is because there is lower competition than in USA or UK but people have very good income unemployment is low and traffic conversions are very good.

The sites are well established and they have made last month a revenue of 5426 EUR generating 3311 sales to Amazon.de affiliate program. I can prove the earnings with screenshots and if we agree the price before payment I will provide you with a guest user account to login to my Amazon.de affiliate account.

The network of sites consists of 55  old mixed TLD domains purchased from Goddady Auctions with ages between 3 years and 12 years, 200 .eu domains established by me with ages between 3 months and 2 years, and the rest .info domains age 1-3 years.

All the traffic was generated from Search Engines so there is  just the cost of hosting and domain renewals approximately 300-500$ per month. There are no paid links to maintain with monthly fees.

The sites are well established and require minimum maintenance such as renewing domains that expire and watch server load and uptime. There is no need to write German articles because the system is on autopilot activating articles from database at a given time interval.

SnapShout.me

SnapShout.me sold for $15,100, there were 3 bids.

This is really an app sale, the site was established in November of 2012.

Fully functioning social iPhone app for real time sharing of photos with audio to Facebook and Twitter. It sort of falls between instagram, snapchat and vine.

We never promoted the app as it was a side project and never reached out to any bloggers or press to promote it. This could easily grow virally quite fast with some promotion and exposure.

Users enjoy the simplicity of being able to add up to 10 seconds of audio to any photo and share it socially. Full functioning website with totally custom html5 player for every snapshout (photo + audio). Think of this app like instagram but with audio.

Includes fully embedded player so these snapshouts can be in a blog. examples here: http://snapshout.me/blog/

Each snapshout can be automatically published and shared on Facebook or Twitter as well as an individual web page.

The Violet Vixen

TheVioletVixen.com sold for $30,000, there were 14 bids.

Site Established     Sep, 2012
Verified Traffic
Pageviews (3 month avg)     97,601
Uniques (3 month avg)     10,413

TheVioletVixen.com sells more than apparel and accessories, it sells a brand and a lifestyle, which is what makes this ecommerce site so valuable. If sold to the right buyer, this could easily be a multimillion dollar company in less than one year. The product line is changeable, as long as the brand remains intact. We are #1 in Google for the keyword burlesque clothing, and we have entered a market that is relatively untapped. Half of our products are dropshipped, which contributes to our low overhead.

We sell corsets more than anything, which is why we are so profitable. The landed cost of a corset is anywhere from $15-$20, and we sell them competitively below industry standard at $69.99-$79.99. We have taken a back door approach to conquering the corset market, by using our brand and our personalized community feel as leverage against overseas manufacturers mass producing similar products.

They certainly got this thing going fast as the site is only 9 months old.
