Not me, I couldn't afford to take that sort of drop in income.
I am very doubtful about buying work at the best of times unless its a few hundred pounds changing hands for a bit of goodwill.
These days people are asking big money but for what? I am even more uneasy about the idea of buying commercial work if its covered by a contract to someone else.

i know what u r saying vince, people want stupid money for work that isnt established, i was speaking to a bloke the other day who had done m and s for 35 years, got a phone call one day, no longer needed bye
-
i have never brought work yet just buying a very round at x4
that round seems a good buy for someone as long as there is contracts in place ;)

The gist i get is that commercial work is drying up or at least becoming even less frequent and a contract is not worth a SH** if the company/business goes under.
What do you do if you have a contract but get told to get lost and someone else appears doing the job?.employ a solicitor and pay his/her fees whilst a £600-800 a month van sits idle and two employees sit twiddling their thumbs.Do it until you run out of money or let it consume your life and suffer ill health as a consequence?
I wouldn`t buy a commercial window cleaning business with someone elses money never mind my own.Got enough to buy one then pay yourself a wage whilst you establish . The days when people could buy business`s with the banks money,pay themselves an over inflated wage,milk it then fold it are over.
Just looked at the ebay ad again it is embarassingly unprofessional.
