    Monthly Revenue (USD): 1,000

    An average of $574.15 Gross sales and then you say 100% markup so halve this and you get $287.08 per month net profit?

    How many different suppliers do you buy off?

    Is there additional products you can obtain from the suppliers?

    Your numbers are about correct, we also have alot of cash sales that are not recorded.

    Suppliers have a large range of products to choose from.

    We currently source from 2 main suppliers.

    Loved the film starring Steve Martin and John Candy.

    But to the point, are these figures in US or Aussie dollars?

    Australian Dollars, please note that these numbers are from NO marketing, promotion and support, they do represent the potential of this website if promoted and managed correctly.

    Also the sale includes a large amount of stock.

    Why are you selling, and how much time do you spend on this per week? According to your About page you seem to have a brick-and-mortar store for this also.

    No retail outlet, at the moment not spending any time at all on this website and spent very little time apart from set up of company.

    Reason for sale is to pursue other opportunities
