I was reading a complaint on Digital Point about a guy that made a website and sold it for over 400.00 dollars and it supposedly included a Vbulletin license for life and everything. He ripped his customer off and has not refunded him.

Be very careful when you buy other peoples made sites and domain names.

I wish I had some pointers for giving caution but I don't. Perhaps some others can share their experiences or a handy checklist when it comes to purchasing websites that are previously owned.

Thank you very much for cautioning us. There are a lot of pre-owned websites being sold online in different forums. I myself am one of those people who bought a pre-owned site but it went well for me. There really is no real way of making sure you won't be scammed with this. I guess it's better to buy from people you already know or have a good reputation on the forums where he had posted for his site.
