A recently acquired e-commerce website has shown consistent monthly profitability, with revenue and profit gradually increasing due to enhanced Google rankings. Over the past three months, the site has averaged $6,083 in monthly revenue and $2,426 in net profit. February projections suggest record performance, with a potential for $8,500 in sales run-rate. The site is currently listed for auction, with a seven-day duration, a reserve price of $20,000, and a “Buy It Now” price of $40,000. Payment can be made through Escrow.com, with the buyer responsible for associated fees, or via bank transfer, with each party covering their own charges. Flippa’s final value fees are split equally between the buyer and seller.
The decision to sell the site arises from its high customer service demands, which have become unmanageable for one of the partners, who is returning to school. Operating the site requires around four hours of daily management, utilizing a dropshipping model with three suppliers covering the USA and Canada. The site is poised for transfer, including the domain and supplier accounts. Operating costs are minimal, with hosting and domain registration being the primary expenses. The site boasts an over 40% profit margin after accounting for merchandise and operational costs.
Traffic metrics over recent months reflect 9,350 monthly visits and 30,574 monthly page views, achieved through entirely organic means without paid advertising. Notably, the site was offline for four days during this period. Google rankings for various targeted phrases range from the first to seventh position, illustrating strong search visibility.
