Is it possible to *SELL* the admin rights to a very popular Facebook group?

I have never heard of this being done, but I understand that there are a number of Facebook groups that exceed one million members, of which up to ten thousand a day are active posters. My idea is that if you owned such a Facebook group, you would be able to sell the rights, say on eBay. Once a contract was made and payment placed in escrow, the group owner would transfer admin status to the buyer, who would have joined the group him / herself as a member and then sent an email to identify themself. Once that person owned the Facebook group, they could then post referral links and in-text advertisements for the exposure of the group visitors. What do you guys think? Has this already been tried?

Well let's just say that you own a group on facebook, but you really don't own a right on facebook, meaning, facebook only have the rights to sell (if it is possible) your group. All contents on facebook written or made by the users are all in facebook's rights, i don't know if somone would agree to what i said but its only my perspective.

I think it sounds pretty interesting, but i believe you need to check out Facebooks terms and conditions, if they allow such sales.
