If you buy websites or domains from other people, the handover point is usually pretty obvious.
Not always with ccTLDs.
For .VN, registrar approval is followed by more steps before the new holder finally appears in WHOIS.

When buying aged domains, most people focus on backlinks, history and traffic.
