I thought they did allow licence transfers this way...
They do if you get the OK from Jelsoft.
Below is from the EULA.
(vBulletin licence grants you the right to run one instance "a single installation" of the Software on one web server and one web site for each licence purchased. Each licence may power one instance of the Software on one domain. For each installed instance of the Software, a separate licence is required. Modifications to the software or database to circumvent the one-license-one-board rule are prohibited.
The Software is licensed only to you. You may not rent, lease, sublicence, sell, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Software in any form, on a temporary or permanent basis,
without the prior written consent of Jelsoft.)

I still don’t think I would touch this unless I knew the seller, the seller states the update service has expired and would cost $30.00 to renew for one year of current updates.
From seller (The member area access for the latest updates of vBulletin costs $30 per year. Member area access under this owned license has expired. To gain access to the latest updates of vbulletin you will have to pay a $30 member access fee to vBulletin which will give you access for one year. Under this license you are licensed to use vBulletin on your website forever. (As long as you own the license) The $30 fee is only for access to updates, yearly.)
In reality by the time you paid the bid price with the added renewal for updates it would only be a few dollars less that new direct from Jelsoft.
