    What do you think about this guy and these offers?

    http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZygesoft

    Website WWW.GRAYLINESCENES.COM with PR 6 is obvious fake PR. And he is selling the page for 500$.

    Other like : www.WESTLOGICS.COM is really hard to assess. On every page that is linking to westlogics there is no actual link (google backlinks). And on every page there is a link to some Mambo server plugin. Is it just a coincidence? Also, the yahoo backlinks are showing no links.

    I can't believe that people are actually bidding on these sites!

    eBay has always been buyer beware when it came to site sales. I think I bought links one time and got ripped off so I have never returned.

    I wouldn't buy a site or links through them no matter how good it looked.

    Well; that was an inspired post.

    Yeah, I'd never buy advertising on ebay. I have bought some sites on there that turned out okay. I want to buy one that is up right now, but it'd take a lot of work to make it worth the investment so I'm back and forth on it a little.

    Is there a reason this is in the Coop Network Forum by the way forcer? I'm curious what the connection is (Is it a Coop Site for sale?)

    Lol, no need to apologize to me, I just post here

    I had seen an earlier thread on the ethics involved in pumping up a sites PR with the Coop, selling it, then removing the links so I thought maybe your post was related to that.

    Cheers
