Stupid or not?

Guys buys a site for $18,000 USD.

here are some facts on the site

Popular Pr6 design blog
custom wordpress design
265 posts of tutorials, freebies, etc
65,000 backlinks
24k alexa rank
listed in dmoz
guranteed revenue from buysellads every month
800 likes in facebook
over 30 authors contribute

---

and...




he deletes all the content on the site, puts up a generic template and wants to sell just the domain, without any of the content that makes it valuable.

Some people think that a move to increase wealth is smart.
By following their logic, it is possible to say that a move to decrease wealth is stupid.
Of course, everyone counts wealth and value differently.

if you have a cache version. Time to pop a new site.

complete stupid move. If he is able to sell the site for profit after doing that I really feel sorry for the person that purchases it.

Just ignore him already...you'll become a happier person, trust me.

And yea, it does sound kind of stupid. I've ended up buying sites and parking or redirecting them, but never ones like that.

How did he value the site when buying it - surely he didn't just price the domain name if that is all he is trying to turn over?

Glad to hear there are still suckers around with too much money and willing to spend them. That is promising for the future and the economy!

Yes it's stupid idea,i made a similar mistake long time ago but i managed to recover my investment and even make some money.But when you buy site it's best to leave it's content even if it's outdated.Also similar thing was done by wegcash i think by buying site like consumption junction,remove it's rich content and putting a stupid join form to some stupid site.

The only way it would make sense to me is if he wanted to purposely ruin all
the hard work, blood, sweat and tears the previous owner put into it in a vindictive way.
