It's like listing a house for sale with no photos, no description, and a fence around the property so you can't go check it out in person either. Just a lot number and a price tag. And we really are talking about the price of a house here...
How can you possibly need any more information than that?
Talk about lazy and useless.
Additionally, if I were interested in purchasing Sortfolio, I'd want a clear picture of their customer acquisition practices. If most customers are being acquired through the 37s website and/or branding, you cannot count on continued revenue streams. If customers are being acquired by channels that don't rely on 37s, I'd be much more comfortable with it.
That someone doesn't need to be in the same office.
I personally would happily take that role - I'm on a different continent and won't ask for their phone number.
Any advice? Has anyone bought a site on Flippa?
But, there are some occasional transactions that are worth looking at, if only to get ideas of things to build.
