Watch out for tricks like "This site has huge potential" (so does Facebook clone script) and "I haven't monetized my website yet" (or his Adsense account is banned). GA screenshots (if they aren't photoshoped) are only legit if you get complete report. Fake traffic can be bought for few bucks and it makes traffic stats look pretty good and increase "value" of a site very much.
Request for stats for longer period of time, like 1 year. Anyone can spend 1000$ on marketing and get 800$ back with sales to make it look good. If price seems too low, it is probably a scam. People on some forums are selling sites which make 2000$ (fake, scam) for 3000$. Pure scam.
Last but not the least: Make a complete plan what would you do in future with that site and how would you improve it. Scammers are everywhere, there are few rules you must follow. Even GA screenshot is not enough since it can be photoshopped. Sites are usually worth monthly profit x 10, 12 or 24. I guess after the latest Panda and Penguin updates, there are a lot of people selling their sites with earnings and GA screenshots before Google's updates.
