Reason for Sale Has another business.
Description The is an independent packing and shipping service business for sale, started three years ago. The real focus of the business however, has been as an eBay drop-off store. The business is an authorized shipping center for U.S. Mail, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. This feature of the business has not been marketed or emphasized. Additionally the business is only renting 10% of available U.S. Postal mailboxes.
More marketing emphasis on shipping services and mailbox rental is an obvious way to increase revenues and profit. Also, no effort has been made to develop commercial accounts, often a very lucrative adjunct to this type of business.
The company's eBay business grew over 50% from 2007 to 2008. Customers bring in the items they wish to sell and the company takes it from there. The business handles all aspects of selling on eBay: assisting in pricing (software program), photographing the items, placing the item on eBay, collecting the money upon sale and shipping the product.
The customer receives 60% of the selling price and the business retains 40% (on average). The customer has no costs to absorb, just receives a hassle-free transaction. The business averages a 70% sell rate on all items they accept. The business normally has $125,000 to $250,000 of items listed for sale which (any resulting commissions) are included in the purchase.
The business is being offered for sale at $65,000, free and clear of debt and liabilities. Seller may finance a portion. This is an excellent opportunity for the purchaser to grow the business from its current base without the costs and headaches of a start-up.
