That is cheap if it is legit.
I doubt the earnings are legit though as it makes no fiscal sense on the part of the seller.

I agree with BTB, but I would go further.
You are being scammed.
Nobody would sell a site that makes $25 per month for $50

I know it's not a lot of money, but I would be skeptical as to why someone would be selling it for so cheap. You'd be a sucker not to do it because you would be making your money back in 2 months.
Be cautious in what you buy, even with proof. I've heard of a lot of scams with sites like Flippa where people sell websites with adsense earnings but then once someone buys, the earnings disappear. You want a site with REAL organic consistent traffic. Someone could buy a bunch of traffic to boost their adsense earnings so they can make the site look like it's worth more.

For such a price you don't really care about the current earnings but the potential ones. If it has lots of quality and unique content and/or some nice backlink profile go ahead and buy it and work on it. You can see if it is ranking for any keywords in semrush too.

OP, has the seller even proved to you that they own the site?
Pretty simple for people to BS and after you send the money, all communication ceases.

When the other side of a transaction appears to be doing something that is quite insane or even just inane -- selling a $25 monthly stream of income for $50 -- he is generally not doing what he appears to be doing. I think most people would agree that there is something here that does not meet the eye. The $$$ are small enough that you should do as you please but, if you buy it, please report back so we can all learn something.

While it's possible you might get scammed, you might not. Just a matter of how much is $50 to you, if it's just a drop in the bucket, why not?
I once bought a site off of flippa for $1200. The guy made that in less than 2 months on adsense, and his organic se traffic was rising daily so i figured it was worth the risk. I ended up making 40-45 a day for 5 months before that google images update killed it dead. If i would of came in here asking, i would of got the same above replies, i'm sure. No risk, no reward, but only risk what you can afford to lose.

Where is the blogs traffic coming from? This is really the key issue.

So they have 27 sites each making $25?
It makes even less sense now.
How old is the site?
If the site is only 1 or 2 months old, then he is sending paid traffic or using click rings and the Adsense account will get banned or the traffic will disappear once it is sold.

That sounds fishy as heck... I'm sure you could create your own blog and make more than that with time!
