An individual selling a business through a marketplace has made an error in the financial section by listing only a month's sales rather than the required three-month average. The actual three-month average income is roughly $3,600, while monthly hosting costs are about $10. The business being sold generates over $1,000 per month in profit just through eBay sales. Highlights include high margins, unlimited inventory, minimal competition, and piracy protection due to server authentication. The owner offers full rights to the software, which is java-based and uses a MySQL database. Software rights include backend functionalities such as adding customers, sending automated emails, and generating product keys. The code is protected from reverse engineering through obfuscation, ensuring robust piracy protection. The business has been sold mainly via eBay with no affiliate marketing or website promotion prior. Screenshots confirming sales records are provided.
A recently introduced affiliate system offers a 50% commission to boost future sales for the new owner. Included in the sale are domain rights, a website, an email address, login information, and assistance in understanding the system's setup. The owner is open to reasonable offers and willing to conclude the auction early if a suitable offer is made. In the past month, around 49 copies sold via a "buy it now" option on eBay, with no need for inventory re-orders. Prospective buyers are encouraged to review the screenshots and note the limited advertising efforts undertaken, mainly across Facebook and Twitter.
