You can get a good deal from purchasing an adsense website on ebay but...
* You should use some caution *
I have seeen the same exact design sold on ebay everyday of the week. You may get 30 or so of these sites (different topics) for about $99. The 30 sites total 6,000 pages.
Similar sites are also sold daily (in multiple quantities) on ebay like Huge Adsense Empire - 100+ sites 16,500 Pages Imagine 150 of these sold and posted w/out change. 2,475,000 duplicate pages on the web.
Just look at the site for sell then check the sellers feedback from buyers - most are private listings. You will see that they may sell 1 to 3 per day!
Many new buyers purchase these and are unfamiliar with editing or adding content to a php site and get frustrated.
Now, there are some excellent sellers - sites and good deals to be found on ebay but you need to take a good look at the site and the number sold.
Also be sure the articles include the authors resource box with a live link. Many sites chop off the end of some of the articles or do not display the authors clickable link (a no no).
Check the page title at the top of your browser. A page titled New Page or Untitled is not a good sign.
Look at the source code by right clicking your mouse and choosing view source to see if there are any meta tags or keywords in the page header.
Dont confuse most of the ebay mill sites with sites you may see for sell that have limited numbers like 25 - are made with private or original articles & have support forums or excellent instructions.
These are Great for new users who need help and they provide a way to learn about the site.
The ebay mill sites typically are not in the same league.
Some of the better sites that are sold on ebay are in limited numbers and include an admin panel where you can easily add your own links - and your own content before and after each article page - giving you some uniqueness. Look for these even if they cost a little bit more
Not all ebay sites are an unwise purchase - I was a power seller a few years ago & sold websites - you can find a good deal and a good site.
Just do your research. With adsense the number two search term on ebay pulse under websites for sale, sellers have really jumped on the popularity of these sites.

I own several sites and make a nice sum each month from Googles popular Adsense program. It took some time and experimentation to maximize my revenue. There are literally hundreds of articles and web sites dedicated to the topic of search engine optimization (SEO) and keywords and the placement of adsense ads on your web site. I have read many of these articles and resources and have implemented many of their recommendations.Did you know Google has two different ad formats Ad Units and Link Units are very different and produce very different result.
Ad units look like this:
While link units look like this:
Ads by Google: Cars New Cars Car Fact Buy Cars Cheap Cars
I employ both type of adsense ads on my sites, and I assign channels to each ad so I can see which type of ad gives the best result. I try to incorporate the ads in my sites so they have a natural look. I like the link units best because they look like just another link on my site. I usually position them in a space that fits in with the other links on the sidebar of my sites.
I seem to get much better Click Through Rates (CTR) on these ads. People dont seem to be as intimidated by the LOOK of the link unit.
But the CTR is not the most important statistic, money is. In my experience I receive higher revenue from Ad Unit vs. Link units. I assume this is because the Ad Unit serves higher price ads than links units do. I have no proof of this, but it does make sense.
The important lesson to learn is to use adsense channels, and experiment with both Link Units and Ad unit. I use both on all my sites. If you are only using Ad Units at this time, I highly recommend you intelligently employ link units for added revenue.
