Ask HN: alternatives to Flippa?

Can you tell us more about your plans? I've always wanted to buy a site for a passive income source but I'm always worried I'll get scammed.

Btw if you have a business that makes money from adsense can you deduct buying a new site as a business expense?

I'm more on the buying side for the moment. The thing is our consultancy (we're 2) is quite beneficial this year and I expect (but might be wrong) we will earn less next year.

So I'm looking for sites I could maintain, promote and develop.

I understand your worries about getting scammed: I think it's a whole new job, with very specific points to check etc :)

I just asked my accountant to see if the buy could be deducted (at least here in France). I assume it will be doable.

Anyone know if it's deductible in the US?

Can you shed any light on the type of sites you're looking at? How do you evaluate them?
