I cannot sell my sites :D I have been offered money twice already for some of my sites and I didn't sell. And I could buy myself a car with the money offered and still I couldn't part ways. My sites are too dear to me, I cannot sell them. It makes me not suited for this business I am afraid :( The tips given here are very good though. I have a problem .. I cannot sell my sites :D

Although there is a side of me that finds site flipping very attractive, I also find it hard to part with sites that I have on the backburner because I can always imagine their future potential. If I didn't think they could be great sites then I wouldn't have registered them in the first place. But having said that, if they're dormant and raising them up would divert my focus from other more profitable areas then I guess they should be let go.

Good in the way that it brings in money quickly with relatively little invested work. It is bad though, because you throw away the potential for additional profit. If it is possible to simply manage it as others work on it, there is the possibility for more income. It's a delicate balance though. Flipping is good and bad.

Congrats on your recently successful flips. Adam, Thanks for stopping by. Let me know how your flips go. The Paper, You are absolutely correct - the right events coming together (i.e., solid content, nice design, rankings, and of course, traffc) definitely contribute to the overall factor of a successful web site ready to be sold. Josh, Congrats on your awesome site man. Taking that site from practically nothing to a six-figure profit in 4 months is absolutely amazing! You will do it again, I am sure. Martin, I am glad you pointed that out - selling an active and flourishing site is DEFINITELY going to bring in more money than a dormant one. StockTube, All of that genius-ness comes from experience. I am no expert in site flipping, but I know that the hardwork and dedication Nomar and Matt has put into it has made them better flippers. Thanks for the comments, everyone! Nomar,

I read somewhere is was better to maintain ownership of a site for at least a year to ensure paying only 15% as opposed to 35% in taxes. But I guess that can be evaluated deal to deal. Thanks for the info, I will be in the market to flip some sites in the near future. Flipping sites, I had heard of “flipping houses” but never flipping sites.
