    I hope potential buyers read your post. I don't want anyone to be scammed by this.

    I don't think they will because a lot of people who buy things on ebay do not know about forums. They are the people who are going to get sucked into the "money making" website buisinesses.

    Its really well done and he has already sold a few at those prices :S

    thats what they are trying to go on which is a joke,

    they are using the way back archive which gives you what sites looked like back in the day in there case

    The problem is that people who buy things on ebay are often unsuspecting. and it looks good to someone who might be buying it as their first website.

    I have done a link exchange with one of those sites he has in the list of his previous work. I know it definitely wasn't his site! Its too good.

    His has no traffic, no PR, no income, no nothing. How can he say 10K in the title!
