If its too good to be true, it prolly is?
Hi peeps,
Need some help here. I have been given a very rare opportunity to make a good wad of cash on the side, ie £500 per month. Dont want to go into specifics, except its a piece of software. He is hurting for cash after moving house to a HUGE house, hence the reason for sale of software.
Now the problem, the rights to this very specialist software are £7,000 one time fee and yes it does work and yes it makes money (upwards of £1k per month for about 2 hours work a day - ive admined for him in the past). I have never met this person in the flesh but I have known him for several years, he has helped me build my empire in google so that I am number 1 on a lot of highly contested phrases, given me some of the other software he has written for free etc and generally helped me carve out a presence on the web to be proud of.
But I cant stop the alarm bells of "if it sounds too good to be true, prolly is"
Any way I can mimimse my exposure ?
Any other thoughts?

If this software makes such good money per month why sell it? ... especially if this person is gagging for money (having moved to a HUGE house, afterall )
Yeah, go for it Emperor Google!

If he is "hurting for cash" after moving to a "huge house" how is 7k going to make much difference? Surely he could add that to his mortgage and for 2 hours work a month pay if off in just over a year?

Yep as above stuey, if it does make £500 a month as claimed then surely he is better off keeping it and raking in the residuals rather than get a one off hit from it. I would want absolutely concrete evidence of its earning potential or even say after 30 days you should have earned £500 and then perhaps pay for it. It does sound a trifle iffy.

Sounds like bollocks to me too - the lack of information about what this software is and how you can allegedly make money from it so easily speaks volumes. Spill the beans; if the software itself has any value over and above the mere claims about what it can do, then there's no harm in doing so. Unless it's a spam engine, botnet controller or something equally unsavoury, of course.
However, you can easily minimise your exposure by agreeing payment terms: 50% of net earnings received as a result of using this fabulous tool, up to the limit of £7k, then you keep the rest. So, if it doesn't work, you pay nothing.
