Is there something wrong with the websites listed on sites like Flippa or such?

Is there a hidden downside to purchasing a website for, lets say, 8k off a site like that, that makes twice that a year mostly on auto-pilot? Then using the income after a year to purchase a more expense site...

And just working your way up until you own a website that is making whatever income that satisfies you?

I don't see many people suggesting this. Is buying a website off a marketplace similar to buying a car out of a junk lot; it's just never worth it?
