Flippa: “You Can Now Negotiate on ANY Unsold Auction”

Flippa announced a change to the the way Flippa works. As of today, you can negotiate with a seller to buy anything that was listed for auction that didn’t find a buyer. Previously, when an auction ended unsold, the seller could only negotiate with the highest bidder for a week after the auction ends. That’s all changed. Now any interested party can negotiate – no matter how long ago it was, or whether you participated in the auction.

Here is the announcement:

We’re excited to announce a landmark change to the way Flippa works.

As of today, you can negotiate with a seller to buy anything that was listed for auction that didn’t find a buyer. Previously, when an auction ended unsold, the seller could only negotiate with the highest bidder for a week after the auction ends. That’s all changed. Now any interested party can negotiate – no matter how long ago it was, or whether you participated in the auction.

If the seller is open to offers, buyers will now find a ‘Make an Offer’ button to use on the listing page. This gives the buyer a direct line to the seller to negotiate and agree on purchase price.

This removes a major barrier to sale on Flippa, and shows that we’re committed to facilitating the sale of your digital asset, whenever it happens – either at auction or afterwards.

Sellers, for no extra fee you now have the ability to negotiate with all interested parties to make a sale post auction. You can either initiate a negotiation with them, or let them approach you. In short, we’ll keep hanging the “For Sale” sign on Flippa for you, until you let us know otherwise.
