My experience with Empire Flippers: A marketplace with huge asking prices entirely dependent on the greater fool theory.

That's interesting feedback, Ian. Funny, though - some say we charge WAY too much while others say we don't charge enough. Why do you think we're on the high end of the scale. (And, if that's the case, you'd definitely consider SELLING your sites with us, right?)

I've sold a website with them and I thought they actually priced it incredibly low.
I have my own review of their service coming up, but I think the quality you're gonna get from EF is infinitely higher than something you'd pick up off of flippa.

I haven't purchased a site through EF yet, but I've looked at many of their deals and compared to other marketplaces.
They're real businesses with real traffic, cashflow, etc. For as much as the startup world talks about starting a business from scratch, many would do well to pay for something that already has a foundation built for them.

their valuation tool is kind of absurd.
