Online Store for Sale - $2800 in sales/mo with no advertising!

[stephanie]

Are you fed up with the day-to-day in the shop? Ready to shift gears and make money without breaking your back?

 

Our online store is for sale. Owner wants to put his sole focus on the projects we have in the shop so that he can wrap them up and retire. Our online store averages $2800 in sales per month with absolutely no advertising. There are many more items we could add to increase sales, but being that we are a two-person operation we have too much going on to properly manage and advertise the website.

 

Here are the details from the listing:

• Brand has existed since the late 90s, re-branded in 2008 when we moved and expanded our offerings
• Well-known name in the Corvette community
• We offer solutions that no one else in the Corvette and GM high performance field offer
• Currently monetized solely through ecommerce transactions
• Site platform- WordPress with Ecwid for cart ($17 per month); Knownhost VPS hosting ($35 per month)
• Will include domain, Facebook page, and Twitter account
• Site currently only includes products we have researched and developed, but we have accounts with several major parts distribution companies and those parts could easily be added to the site and dropshipped to customers
• Training available for 30 days following purchase. Buyer has the option of continuing to buy products from us, or buying rights (cost of which is included in sale of site) to the proprietary info (preferred). Buyer will need to take over the before and after sale support.
• Owner is retiring and downsizing. The site has never reached its full potential because we also run a busy repair shop, write books, and travel to seminars, etc. We have not advertised because we do not have the proper time to devote to the website. Owner prefers to continue with the repair side of the business and sell the online portion of the business.

It's actually legit, but I understand the concern. I can't find a way to delete this post, so I've updated my profile instead.

This is not a scam, I contacted the owner and it is a legit offer.

However, the business owner is not offering the business for a reasonable amount, nor are the numbers listed in this thread correct and up to date. The owner is banking on a large amount of goodwill and future returns in his valuation, not past and current performance of the business, nor a realistic ROI.

I won't go into specifics at this time, but if anyone wants my opinion on this, they can contact me.
