Need unbiased opinion on site sale
I was offered a tube site for 12k USD, seen traffic stats and revenue stats, I agreed on the deal, it's ~30-35k users daily with much Indian traffic
After that, the seller tells me that he found that ~10-20% of all traffic (can't remember the %) comes from his 4-5 referral domains and if I want these too, they are 4k extra. These are basically sites that link to random tube videos and that's it, no other value.
In my opinion, the 12k site is now no longer a 12k site because it will lose revenue and traffic the second he sells it to me and switches links. Anyway, I agreed and it's now a 16k sale for same traffic / revenue site "network".
After buying 4k sites first, I find that there are many more "referral" sites / domains / links and now seller wants me to pay like 4-5k extra, again, a 12k site with 35k users now becomes 20k site with identical users / revenue stats. It feels like a trap where you're forced to spend much more to get the stats that you've paid for originally
Now I found that one of the domains he sold already on GFY, and traffic is slowly decreasing (could be other reasons but links are gone) and he is selling others too.
Am I an asshole here for wanting to cancel the deal or get a full network for 16k? For me, this is only fair. I agreed on 12k for the site with X traffic and X profit, if it can't generate this number with lost links, traffic, domains, then this is not a 12k site. feels like bait and switch
