James, Jon, Ed, others, Selling one's business clients or giving them away doesn't seem to be the relevant issue to me. I'm all for earning money when feasible, as well as doing an act of benevolence when desired, but for some reason I'm not certain I would want to do either in this instance, and equally, I can't imagine some of the clients appreciating it much without first being informed beforehand that such an action were about to take place. I would be very reluctant to hand over the dBase files I have accumulated over the years to another individual, regardless of any profit and/or philanthropy motives, as the information was acquired by me via an established trust that has developed through the passing of time that might not have occurred otherwise. Not really certain what the best approach would be, but it certainly appears that the clients concerned ought to be advised one way or another with some type of notification prior to such an event taking place.
