I read it as if want to buy higher quality sites come to sitepoint. However, if you're happy to wade through a stack of mostly unpaid listings for cheap sites go to our competitors. Granted there could be opportunities in buying sites over at digialpoint, building them up, and selling them for more on sitepoint, but you really need to find the diamonds in amongst the rough, and they're not easy to come by over there.

Keeping in mind that Jon is only looking at the "established sites" and "premium sites" categories. If you run the numbers across all of the categories in the SitePoint Marketplace it's more than $5m USD worth of listings in Feb. Nice work Jon.

SitePoint most likely has the most accurate numbers though, as their marketplace was the easiest to grab the prices from.
