I just used wordpress sites. I put in a good bit of optimization. The biggest thing is how you present the sites and how you write your sales copy.

Offer the buyer more than what they think the value is.

Congratulations! Can you describe more in detail your optimization? How many backlinks? How long has the site been live? Tips for writing effective sales copy? I'm listing my first site now, which was the one I used for 30DC. I haven't gotten a single sale yet. I average about 800 visits/month. I listed for 15 days -- 6 days in with no bids.

I would focus on optimizing your site for adsense. Then once it starts getting clicks and generates revenue then I would sell it. You won't get much if it doesn't generate revenue.

Here is my auction it is ending today flippa.com/auctions/82947

feel free to check it out.

I also create videos for my listings attracts more buyers.

Many people are struggling to sell their websites for some good cold hard cash... In this juncture, your success speaks for itself the effort you have put in terms of time and effort to generate such sales for your sites! Hearty congrats!

My auction just ended with only one bid for $50. I have to re-think my strategy....
