I recently won an auction on Sitepoint.com’s marketplace for a couple of small websites. I never attempted to buy or sell a website before. This is simply because I don’t want to sell any of my profitable sites and any of the sites I would actually sell may not be be worth the time and effort.
Honestly, I would like to say the transaction went smoothly and I am happy with my purchase. But unfortunately the seller made errors in his listing for a domain as a .com when in fact the domain he owns is .info. The other problem was that there were a couple corrupt files for that site. The good news is, since I had already paid for the websites, the seller has offered to compensate me with a partial refund or another website from his for sale portfolio.
I am sure everything will work out fine as the seller seems to be an ok guy who at least responds to emails pretty quickly.
Anyways it’s just another step that I have taken. Now I just need to finish of my incomplete sites and auction them off so I can focus more on my core network of sites.
