Seriously, lets say I design an asian site on a domain and sell it to someone. Chances are that person is a newbie (otherwise he would have a designer design one for him). He wont make a dime off the thing.

So many people have lost money off expansive turnkey sites that it isn't funny,

Newbies tend to buy them and they are the ones that have absolutely no idea what to do with them after they buy them.
I can understand where you are coming from here, that it would be more likely to be bought by a newbie, there for it would be more likely that they wouldn't make any money.

It would probably be a better business model to get the site working, and get some links and traffic flowing through it and then sell it. Not only would it be worth more money, but it would cost more, so a more experienced person would buy it.
