Washington Post Takes A demeanour during Flipping Websites on Flippa - The Washington Post ran a story a couple hours ago on flipping websites. Caitlin Dewey took a look at some people who have taken to Flippa to try to make something off a website they no longer have the time or passion for.

Unfortunately for her (but good for me) I had already scheduled one before she put the rule in place.
So last week I rode the train to just north of downtown Melbourne to visit Flippa.
For the uninitiated, Flippa is to the web site selling business as Sedo and Afternic are to ... read more ...

The owner bought the domain in 2009 for $100. He received an occasional offer on the domain. But then recently he claims he received four inquiries about the domain within 24 hours, ... read more ...
