Description
We're looking to sell Popdeck.com, a design submission contest around skateboard designs (it can essentially be used for any product.) Users submit designs in which the community votes for the winners. We currently have 7000 members. Every other week we pick a winner and pay that winner a prize and then sell that board in a limited hand numbered run.
This sale would include 200-300 boards of old inventory. If you want it, you must pay/arrange for shipping. About half way through we switched to an all on demand pressing process where we print out all the transfers for that run and then only press them to the board as they sell. If you plan to keep the site as is and sell skateboards, we can help with production.
If our buy it now price is reached, we would also pass along the contact for the Urban Outfitters buyers so you can continue to do those contests as well.
The site is built from scratch in Ruby on Rails and all the pages are coded in HTML/CSS by an award-winning graphic designer.
The site has a robust admin section and many features in place. Outlined below are some of the key ones, but you'll gain a much better understanding by looking at the attached screenshots or browsing the site.
Admin features:
Settings:
- Set design contests for users to submit to, including description, ending date, and prize money
- Featured design or front page banner and text
- General prize money
Store:
- Products (images, text,
- Price
- Inventory (customer purchases individually numbered board. Board is greyed out after purchase is completed.)
- Issue Promo codes
- All orders and the option download them as CVS files for easy import into shipping program like Endicia
Stats:
- All submitted designs (thumbnail, user, submitted on, delete action)
- Total and average scoring of each design + number of votes
Admin can also edit and delete any comment on a submission or in the talk section.
Users have a robust feature as well. Members can submit designs as well as rate and comment on others designs. Users each have profiles with editable avatars as well as import RSS feed section, Twitter feeds, and all submitted designs.
There is also a built in affiliate program and the ability for users to enter Gmail, Yahoo, or MSN login details to automatically invite friends to vote for their designs.
Please PM me for revenue details.
Other then that the site is pretty straight forward. We are selling to focus solely on our other venture.
Revenue Details
As winners are picked the boards are then made and sold. We can offer ondemand printing, so you would not have to offer any inventory if you choose to go that route.

I'd be interested in knowing the BIN too.
I assume production is currently handled by another company and items are drop-shipped to the end user?
What is the typical unit cost for each item?

Boards are dropshipped for 30 a board and about 3-5 dollars is made on shipping of each board. The BIN is 40k. It comes with a mailing list of 5000 skateshops as well.
