Sell your micro startup for less than 25k dollars

Seems very expensive for a listing service.
I like the way Flippa does it: https://flippa.com/
Show what's listed, show basic financials and an asking price. Only after a buyer sees something interesting are they asked to jump through hoops to create an account, etc.
Looking at the listings, they would be really hard to de-anonymize.
No one sane wants to buy a pre-money, pre-profit, pre-execution idea alone unless there's something defensible about it like a patent, a high performance team that has coalesced and is capable, or something else unique or proprietary that cannot be easily or legally replicated. "Idea guys" will nonetheless claim they their inventions were "stolen" by people who executed on a business hypothesis, took the risk, did the work, and had a degree of favorable chance and timing.
For the rest: There’s a demographic that has strong skills in marketing and management but does not have skills in ideation/creation (or maybe they just find that part boring). For them it’s great to be able to buy a business with some traction, spend a few months making it more profitable and then either sitting on the MRR after they make their money back, or flip it and sell it for some multiple.
It’s definitely not false hope, but people should realize the difficulties aren’t related to code.
If there aren't enough people on the platform it might be a waste of time for startups, and if there aren't enough valuable microstartups it might be a waste of a small fee for prospective buyers, but expensive it isn't...
If it is valuable, $25k seems low. But then again maybe at that point it's no longer micro. But who would be looking to buy before there is substantial success?
There's a million and one ways of doing things, the way patents work is a specific implementation.
Gaining a patent amounts to throwing stones at each other.
20k is a lot less than hiring a HR department and finding a developer. Haven't looked at the site, but was assuming some of the ideas have an MVP of some sorts.
Without any sort of preview or proof of value, it seems like quite a steep entrance fee to spend on potentially seeing some interesting IP to acquire.
