Thanks for the insight. It seemed like something fishy was going on and I'm glad that you think so too - that means I'm not (that) crazy :)

When you sold your websites was it fairly straightforward with how you had to transfer all of the materials over to the buyer, or is that something you just arrange behind the scenes with the buyer?

Also, I'm curious as to how you transferred the commission junction site - did you make it in such a way that the buyer could just substitute their affiliate id in for the deals?

Of course I can't prove any of my theory, but there is something wrong when a 3 month old site with no traffic or revenue sells for $50,000.

For the sites I sold, the transfer was super easy. For the wordpress site, I ran a script to swap out the affiliate codes to the buyer's codes. The domain transfer was a GoDaddy push which took 3 minutes. I exported the database and used a login the client gave me to upload it to his hosting.

For the ebook site, I again logged in using credentials given to me by the client on his hosting and I uploaded the files, created the databases, and the site was online in 15 mintues.
