    Yes you can sell your blog. If it's hosted on the blogger.com domain, then obviously you can't sell the actual blog, but you can sell the content (if it's original and belongs to you to begin with) and access to the blog. If you are hosting the blog on your own domain then you can sell the blog along with the domain (it's called a "website" ;)...).

    You can transfer access to the blog which is the same time as selling the site.

    No you can't. From the TOS as linked to above:

    Although I've seen people do it, it's against their TOS. But what Google doesn't know won't hurt them ;)

    Who would buy a google blog? It's too easy to do your own.

    you can sell your domain, blog content, everything. just not the blogger.com account.

    it's your content and blogger.com doesn't own the content when you post it to their service.

    sell it d00d.

    1. It is against their TOS.

    2. You can transfer your blog to the buyers gmail account in such a way that only he will have access to the blog and you won't. ( Is this what we call a sale ????:D )

    You don't have to give them "access to services". Simply allow them to take ownership on the content of your site and sell them your custom domain. That's why investing $2.49 or whatever in a .info domain is a sensible decision.

    :)

    No you can't sell the account. You don't own it.
    If you are asking can it be done, of course it can. There is always a way to scam or beat the system. If you are asking is it legal, or O.K ? Then no it is not.
