We built this store (and a handful of other ecommerce stores) originally for our kids as we have run a successful E commerce store ourselves for 28 years. Naturally, we expected that they would want to run a store in this wonderful field and make a great living, but kids have minds of their own and they have to learn on their own. So we have listed it for sale - you will deal directly with the store owner.
Hunting, camping and fishing are a year-round passion for millions of Americans, and this store is built to sell to them. It is a finished, live online store loaded with tens of thousands of outdoor products, built by a family that has sold online since 1998, before eBay, PayPal or Google existed.
WHY IT'S FOR SALE
We built this store for our kids, modeled on our own long-running store. The son it was built for decided to travel instead. Rather than let a good asset sit, we want another family to take it over and succeed with it.
HOW IT WORKS
- No inventory to buy or store. The customer pays you on the website, you place the order with our top U.S. distributor, and they ship direct to the customer. A backup distributor is already in place, and we introduce you personally.
- Margins run about 50% in our experience: a $500 order leaves roughly $250 in profit.
- An optional product data feed keeps prices, images and stock current automatically.
- Built on highly customized open source software. No Shopify or Wix subscription, and no fees per product. You own it, with full control over products, content and design.
- Pages load fast and are laid out around how shoppers actually look at a screen.
PROOF IT WORKS
Another family who bought a store from us had never sold online or owned a business before. They made $25,000 in net profit in the second month following our instructions.
