An established Australian online store specializes in selling pre-owned luxury designer handbags and accessories. It has been successfully running as a part-time venture by the current owner, providing a considerable income above the national full-time average income. The business operates both via its online store and an esteemed eBay account with a strong presence and excellent feedback from over 2000 transactions. Known for its superior customer service and authentic products, the store boasts significant SEO accomplishments with multiple keywords ranking on the first page of a search engine, contributing to its robust traffic and profitability.
Even though the store started as a hobby, its potential propelled the owner to establish their own website, which now surpasses eBay sales, though eBay remains a profitable stock clearance channel. Despite the current owner's part-time commitment, the business shows a profit margin exceeding 50%, with reported sales of $23,000 and $12,000 in profit for a month. There's notable growth potential through expanding product lines and tapping into the consignment market, which the current owner hasn't fully explored due to time constraints.
The business is up for sale due to personal commitments requiring the owner to relocate overseas. It's a low-cost operational business running on a user-friendly platform with considerable time invested in website customization for optimal performance. The sale includes valuable assets such as the domain, trademark, website, social media accounts, and an eBay powerseller account, among other resources. The owner is willing to assist the successful buyer in transitioning smoothly into the business to foster growth and success.
