My experience with Empire Flippers: A marketplace with huge asking prices entirely dependent on the greater fool theory.

I haven't purchased a site through EF yet, but I've looked at many of their deals and compared to other marketplaces.

They're real businesses with real traffic, cashflow, etc. For as much as the startup world talks about starting a business from scratch, many would do well to pay for something that already has a foundation built for them.

Feedback for Justin & Team - these types of posts would do really well to have a written explanation of it all along with it. For me, while I can get a lot out of podcasts, when it comes to business deal specifically (or strategies), I like to have something to look at that I can read 2 or 3 times rather than have to re-listen or take notes during a podcast.

Thanks, Joel, that's a good point.

It felt a little awkward/forced running through the details on the different scenarios. I think that would have been much more legible in a blog post or written form. :-(
