I've seen successful finishers. You can see them hang out around sites like www.flippa.com , looking for that special project that they could buy and operate as owners for a quiet life and sustainable revenues.



I think Rob Walling is a perfect example of a Finisher. He's purchased several different web properties, polished them up with a new skin, new marketing and new copy, removed all those nagging little bugs that the previous owner left languishing.


To bad that 90% of the starters on flippa think the finishers are idiots ("huge potential!") and market to them as such.

With most sales on flippa I feel like I am playing "Find the scam".
