#3I must be missing something because I don't understand why they are so desperate to get rid of it. If it's really making $200,000+ per year just hire someone for 1/4 to 1/3 that to handle it.

Yeah, or let someone in-house make it their pet project. Tied with the 37s name/links etc and that revenue, what a great side project for someone to run...

#5This is one of the worst listings on Flippa. There's no information at all. No breakdown of traffic over time or by source. Nothing about how the transition to a new owner will be handled. No information about how billing is done and what information, if any, will be transferred to the new owner -- if everyone had to re-subscribe under new ownership most of that revenue is going to disappear. No information about the site architecture and what kind of resources are required to run it. No information about the customer service load generated.
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...

It's not a core service for them. It might be running on its own now but at some point it's going to need some attention which means distraction.

But... it's from 37Signals!!
How can you possibly need any more information than that?

It seems you missed the part where he said "hire someone to handle 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.

#9I don't have 500K, are there any other good deals on Flippa? I'd love to buy an autopilot business for that rate of return.
Any advice? Has anyone bought a site on Flippa?

That would be my concern as well. Without their brand and following behind the service, it would be hard to sustain it at that level.
