    I have sourced a particular physical product and now want sell online. I can do a site from scratch, but i'd rather buy an existing site and domain name that is getting traffic, that someone is willing to sell..

    Where is the best place to buy websites?

    Have a look at DigitalPoint's BST or head over to SitePoint's marketplace to buy/sell websites. Good luck!

    What is your niche? We have been in business for 10 years as an internet provider and have also done websites, which we "burn in" and then sell. You can see a list of ones that are in process from the link in my sig entitled "Cool Websites". Other than that, sitepoint as mentioned above, or throughout these threads, but be careful.

    Dont buy from ebay! I have bought from there in the past and just because of the wide audience, many of those sites get scraped and content reused prior to it being sold, so by the time you buy it another site is already listing the content on their site. This has happened to me 3-4 times buying sites there and it never seems to stop.

    Good luck!

    Do you have specific niche to buy?

    Do you look into freshly built new readymade website according to your niche?

    The niche is 'watches'. Not really expensive watches, ones around £50 - £100. Ones like tommy hilfiger.
