ECommerce Store Selling Replica Designer Apparel/Accesories. $3000K A Month

I am interested in selling my site. www.rococolife.com

Income is around $3000 a month, with steady traffic. Only ads placed is on Facebook and the site is currently being fully SEO'd by my team. However, assume no SEO and no Rev from Ads...yet.

We sell knock off designer apparel and accessories AAA replicas, almost impossible to tell the difference. The asking price would be $60, 000 and with the sale you get the exclusive introduction and connection to my supplier, in China who has access and partnerships with several production factories in Guangzhou. He speaks english very well, so language barrier not a problem.

The current markup is about %50 on each product...the new owner can choose to raise or lower this if they wish.

Hosted with homestead for 24.99 a month for the online storefront, that is the only expense. Full store admin panel makes it incredibly easy to track orders, receive payment (right now on the basic paypal merchant account) and ship out products.

Buyer will receive all contact information to my friend, and supplier as well as a proper introduction to him in Chinese fashion, and a quick tutorial with doing business with china and with the Chinese. Their business ethics and practices are a bit different then ours here in North America.

ALSO, worth noteing, NO SEO has been done yet and little promotion and rev is still 3k a month. All i have been doing is FB ads. Am selling to use the money in the stock market. With some promotion, this is a GOLDMINE.

Rev. available upon request.
Ad affiliates just added 3 days ago include google adsense and amazon.

 

Have you had any complaints from the real brands, as if they find out, they can shut you down and of course pursue legal action? You're selling fake (thus illegal) products, so I guess there is no way to promote this website legally?

 

I've had 0 complaints thus far and FB has been realllly sweet in terms of turnovers per click. People dont care if its fake, with these prices they buy. Of course theres always the thought of the real companies looming over you but to get that big you must take a certain significant part of the market from them. It is more or less an online flea market, and flea markets are rarely busted, sometimes at most frowned upon. All in all, its a risk one takes but so far well worth the reward.

 

Does your supplier have a website etc? How are orders processed? E.g. do you go on their site and give the order to them or?

 

same questions as him. and whats the BIN? Starting?

 

MS and iBLOGCASH:

My supplier is spoken to on either instant messenger (MSN), email (gmail) or phone. He is a very good friend of mine living in China, speaks great english no problems and is able to talk almost 24-7. He sends me updates every 3 months of clothing available, or if I request, I send him an item and his factory replicates it to a tee. He also does promotion item like printing custom shirts, keychains etc. Last month I did a deal with LG for 10 000 Keychains that have a 10x magnifying glass on them to view the square pixels or something on their new LCD. I knocked them a couple bucks for them and made a killing in a day. My chinese associate had them shipped here in 10 business days.

BIN is $60, 000. You can start at whatever you want, but dont insult me...this is my baby.

I think I forget to answer the question at hand with my rambling lol...Orders are processed through PayPal via Homestead's online storefront. I then inturn forward the orders to my contact in china, he prints them, gathers the goods and ships out the same day. There is a set price that her charges per item, so I always no what I am going to pay him. This price is about 50-60% less than what is shown on the site. I pay him via paypal with the orders attached and he ships out to each address same day. For example, if 5 different people ordered 5 pairs of RR jeans, we will have each jean shipped to each address. He sends me updates every couple months and with homestead storefront uploading mass images is simple, useing excel csv file.

ALSO, worth noteing, NO SEO has been done and little promotion and rev is still 3k a month. All i have been doing is FB ads. Am selling to use the money in the stock market. With some promotion, this is a GOLDMINE.

And oh ya, most importantly, with my connection I provide about %40 of all flea markets in the Toronto and Greater Toronto area. That alone gives me a hefty income monthly. Upon sale I will agree to not sell anywhere else or use my connection, with the sell comes my connection.

It is all drop shipped, you will never have to handle a single product or keep one in stock. No inventory necessary.

 

Ok, what about PayPal who announced that they were going to crack down on counterfeiters?

What happens when they close the Paypal account? You will never be able to get your own merchant account for a counterfeit clothing website.

Not to mention that border services has announced that they too are going to crack down on counterfeit chinese imports.

What as a buyer would I do then, if I can not deliver the items in North America and I just paid $70k for this website?

Is it these recent announcements that have you selling this site?

A quick search on the web for "convicted of counterfeit clothing" or "sentenced counterfeit clothing" scares the crap out of me.

Some getting up to 6 years in jail for running these exact same websites, losing their homes, their cars their bank accounts and the lowest jail time I could find was 1 year in jail.

I would be very curious to hear a response to this.

 

Can You Customized your site's inter face? At what price you want to sale your site? Waiting for ur reply.
Thank You.

 

bapiddebu:

Happy new year! Yes, the interface can be customized, fully. I am asking $60 000 BIN for this currently, and have had a few bids a bit lower thus far.

 

Ok, since you do not want to answer my questions here, and have deleted them on the sitepoint listing, I will contact the OPP and Border Services in the morning and show them the two sales posts, the site iteself , whois information, and ask them if it is legal to run a business this way here in Canada.
