Actually I was a prospective buyer as I am a host myself - in the business for roughly two years and yes, I know how to perform a whois. However, when a host (such as yourself) is looking to sell said business it helps to know what clients pay, what plan they're on, the amount of storage/monthly transfer they are assigned per month, where your server is currently located, the specs of said server and when your clients pay again (IE: Monthly or yearly billing cycles?)

I am not going to play guesswork with a minimum of $500. The lack of details makes one feel that it is a scam. If you'll check some of the other "For Sale" threads you'll notice that the details you've yet to provide are lackluster at best.

Oh, and don't let the signature fool you - I'm not just a Level 14 Rouge, I'm a level 90 bastage with an attitude to boot.

Regards,

Edit: If you're the co-owner what's the other owner's address/feelings on the sale. Are you selling your portion? Is this a registered business in your state?
