Default Re: Deal of the century.

Support is a big issue. The software was sold as a one-time fee and not a renewable service. You will have to deal with all the previous customers, but receive no benefit or future earnings.

I like all of your last posts. I tend to agree with you guys on all counts. After reading the above, I realized that this could be the worst deal of the century. I am a programmer, so some concerns are alleviated, but I don't want to purchase a full time job either.
It was interesting to at least go through all the angles. I imagine there are a lot of these "flash in the pan" type businesses.
The biggest "tell" is that the current owner is even selling. The software is written and he appears to be making good money. He obviously is going to know a lot more than I could hope to discover. If he feels like its time to sell and only for 4 months revenue, he must know what lies ahead.
