Hi Guys,

I've dound a domain i'd like to buy on Sedo. I could just buy a new domain but I wanted an older doamin already listed in google. currently...

* It has Pagerank 0
* archive.org has no record of it.
* google has 5 pages listed (all the normal sedo legal pages etc).
* as a name it's ok but nothing special.
* The price is £300 (although I could offer less).
* Google last crawled the home page nearly a month ago so it's obviously on a slow crawl repeat.
* google is listing most pages without the www. i.e. just h t t p://domainname.com

So, my questions are...

1) Is there any way of telling if the domain has any kind of google penalty against it?
2) Is it worth buying a domain already listed in google or should I just buy a new one?
3) Are the canonical issues going to be a problem or will it just drop the original pages when i add the www. ?

Sorry for all the questions. This is the first time I've considered using Sedo.
