SaleGroups

When buying groups on this exchange, you need to be extremely careful. I had a negative experience even before the introduction of secure transactions in the spring of 2017. The seller simply deceived me, and I had already transferred the money. The administration of the exchange took no measures to protect the buyer. I'm not even sure they blocked the seller. Nothing prevents him from creating a new account and "selling" groups again. Now there is a secure transaction service through which I bought with a guarantee. The only downside is that this service is paid and costs 5% of the purchase amount. I bought a group for 20,000 rubles, of which 1,000 rubles went just for the commission, but thanks to this, I couldn't be deceived, as the seller receives the money only after I check the group, evaluate all the metrics, and approve the transaction. This is a great feature, it's just a shame it's expensive. I do not recommend buying directly, as it is without guarantees, but with a secure transaction, you will be protected. Other than that, there’s nothing special here: it's an ordinary exchange where group owners list their communities for sale. You can find groups both in the general list and by filters: you can choose the social network, theme, transfer method, specify the range of subscribers, profitability, and price. There is also a search by keywords. There are many groups, some have good statistics, while others have poor ones. Checking a group before buying is quite easy. It works not only with VKontakte but also with Instagram, Facebook, and Odnoklassniki.

I manage several VK communities on various entertainment topics, partially earning from advertising and selling projects that I don’t want to run anymore or where I don’t see a future. Through SaleGroups, I managed to sell about four communities. These are small groups with an audience of 15-20 thousand people. The nominal reach doesn’t always match the price: I sold a group with 15,000 subscribers for 18,000 rubles due to its active audience (I didn’t want to manage it anymore, it’s not my topic), while a half-dead community with 20,000 subscribers was sold for only 3,500 rubles. SaleGroups is not the only platform I use for sales. In fact, my groups are bought less frequently here; TradeGroups has better results. An additional platform is never unnecessary. To get a community to the top, you can purchase a PRO account, but this is a useless feature for small groups. Currently, the top groups have a million subscribers; for them, it’s important to be visible to all visitors. Groups like mine are mostly found through search.

When searching for Instagram accounts with fewer than 10,000 followers, most of them turn out to be inflated. Not all of them are bots, but mass following is clearly present. Accounts with 9-10 thousand followers usually have about 5-6 thousand followings, and the sellers didn't even bother to unfollow before selling. The likes on the photos average around 60-70. I spent about 3 hours before I found a more or less decent profile with good statistics, a real audience, and growth potential. All the other accounts I saw before that were terrible and created solely for sale. The exchange could set stricter conditions instead of chasing after a large number of offers. I have no complaints about the deal; I paid a 5% commission since the seller refused to cover it. He transferred full rights to the account, the original email, and all login details to me. Only after that was the money transferred. I am now developing the purchased account, and there are no issues with it. Instagram hasn't imposed any blocks, the audience is real, but that's only because I managed to find a worthy account among the general flow of low-quality pages.

They never send email notifications about page blocks on salegroups and don't explain the reasons. It's unclear where to turn for help. I created a page, published my first ad for selling an account a month later, and by the next morning, it was blocked without any explanation. I didn't receive any emails, and I only found out about the block when I couldn't log into the page. It's unknown how to contact them. Overall, they operate very poorly, and I don't want to deal with them anymore.

I have made numerous transactions on the site, and during all this time, I have never encountered any problems. The payout of funds happens almost instantly, everything is organized very conveniently and correctly. The arbitrators - the guarantors are always honest and fair; they help in any situation and provide advice on actions. Overall, the exchange looks very attractive and is easy to use; working with it is a real pleasure. The filters allow for quick finding of the necessary groups, and buyers can easily discover the lots they are interested in. It is almost always possible to find a buyer at a reasonable price quickly. I recommend it!

When selling a group, you will receive messages from numerous scammers trying to get the account for free. As for buying accounts, I'm not sure, as many of them have inflated metrics. Once, I lost 10,000 rubles, even though the seller claimed the inflation was minimal. So buy at your own risk; the administrators themselves say that they don't check for inflation at all. I also do not recommend Telegram exchanges for purchases: the prices are high, and there is a 99% chance that you will be scammed.

The guys really put in the effort and are always ready to help, regularly conducting updates! I often buy and sell groups on social networks, and Salegroups is definitely my favorite service. All transactions went smoothly, and buyers were found quickly. There are no unnecessary complications, and everything works flawlessly. I hope the platform continues to maintain its high standards!

Terrible platform with an incompetent team. For unclear reasons, they delete your account before you receive payment for the sale of the group! The funds for the group have not arrived, and the site administration has not responded for three days! I categorically do not recommend using this company! It's unclear where the positive reviews come from. Apparently, they are paid for.

I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews here; it seems like it's the work of competitors. It's a great marketplace, I sold several VK groups there, and also bought through VK and Telegram. Everything has always been fine, no complaints. They have many positive reviews from both buyers and sellers. Convenient navigation and more. Good luck to everyone in their work!

I purchased several groups on this site, and I really liked the exchange interface and the prompt responses from the administration. All transactions were completed in about 15-30 minutes, and it was convenient to top up my account. I would, of course, like the fees for deposits and withdrawals to be lower, but this is a common practice nowadays, so it's not critical. Overall, I will continue shopping here, as everything is done efficiently and quickly!
