I am selling database to earn extra money and also buy database for my newly created site. I may resell this site and its database depending on the choice of the buyer.
I have here some points to remember for buying database.
1. Ask for the database structure
The first thing you should ask to the seller; show it to you the structure of the database. Base on the structure, you could decide if it does fit for your needs or not.
2. Total records and size of the database
The total record helps you to weight whether the price given to you by the seller is fair and commensurate enough. The size of the database is important specially if youre using not that big disk space in your server. There are databases for sale more than 100MB which really big and eats lot of space in your hosting package.
3. Sample output

I usually ask the seller a sample output of his/her d
atabase before buying it, to ensure that the data is clean. I ask the seller to show me at least 100 records in html format.
4. How many copies have been sold?
If youre a serious web developer, I am sure you are aware about duplicate content issues, which search engines penalized site with duplicate contents. If the database is fresh and no one using it, you can offer the seller to buy exclusive rights for the database. But of course, even though the database have been sold many times you can still buy it as a startup content of your site, then later on add new content.
5. How much it costs?
Depending on the database you are buying, if youre buying recipe, lyrics, articles, and restaurant list of databases, these are not expensive, but it depends on the total records. A 160,000 lyrics database is ranging from $70 to $120 only. But if youre buying a database exclusively, the cost raised up to 10 times the price of the database.
6. Does the content of the database copyrighted?
Before you buy a database, be sure to ask the seller about the copyright issue of the database you are buying. Sometimes people buy databases then resell it to other buyer without asking the permission of the original seller. This will be a big issue when the original seller caught you using his database.
7. Can you resell the said database in the future?
It is a good way to earn some extra dollar later, if you decided to sell the database you bought. So before paying the database, you must ask the seller if you can resell the said database in the future, to avoid copyright issues.
8. Can you use the said database in more than 1 site that you own?
Some seller doesn’t want their database to be used in more than 1 site. If the seller doesn’t let you use the said database in more than 1 site and for future purposes, then better not buy the said database unless you only intend to use it once.
9. Payment type
To secure your self from scam, you should only pay via paypal, stormpay, or xoom.com. The first two are more secure because you can refund your money if you dont get the product.
10. Research before paying
Before sending your payment, you must research first about the seller reputation, if youre buying from forums, you can ask members about the person youre about to deal with.
You can buy database at http://forum.digitalpoint.com, http://namepros.com, and other webmaster related forums.
