ECommerce Store Selling Replica Designer Apparel/Accesories. $3000 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. It is all drop shipped, you will never have to handle a single product or keep one in stock. No inventory necessary.
For those who are new to the term drop shipping, drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in all retail businesses, the retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropshipping)

$3000 a month does not include cash I make from selling to flea markets, boutiques and private vendors nor does it include promotional work I pick up on the side. (custom made t shirts, keychains, trophies, laminate, etc.)

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 noting, NO SEO has been done yet and little promotion and rev is still 3k a month. All I have been doing is FB ads. I 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.
Also, I currently rank 1st on google for rococo life and rococolife. and have a nice youtube video page with over 170k views.

FAQ (from Sitepoint):

Q: 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?

A: 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.

Q: 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?

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

Q: Ok but products and stuff he will send you in an update file or something right?

Do they have a website or anything and are they well known?

Also is this a special deal brokered between you guys and will it require any maintenance or is it just the normal deal?

My one other concern was none of the products on the site have any description. E.g. all the watches just say rolex watch and nothing specific. Would you happen to have any details on the replica watch name/description?

How long per day do you maintain it?
Additionally, you said the actual price is about 50% right? So the $100 watches are about $50 for example?

Also can you provide some revenue and traffic screen shots? Everything is facebook ads and organic?

A: In terms of traffic I just put the meta tag on few days ago for google anayltics, but I can show you what I got so far if it means anything. Also, I have some rev from Dec I can show you but some deals were also from private promotional companies here in the Toronto area. I did a deal with LG for keychains, as well as a science school looking to purchase safety googles with magnifiying glass squares built in and sporting their school logo. I made well over $3000 in december, but on average per sales on site strictly product wise, this is what I earn. I need an email to send you the screen shots if they mean anything. Oops and yes, fb and organic are my 2 main and only sources of traffic. With the economy like this, people want to look good for less.

Q: Additionally, you said the actual price is about 50% right? So the $100 watches are about $50 for example?

A: Yes the markup is %50. You are right, I get rolex reps for about $40.00 this is INCLUDING shipping. All my prices are including shipping in the markup thus I say shipping is free. People love free shipping. In terms of traffic I have some fb accounts I can show you. I just recently added google anayltics and adsense, as well as amazon and I've made $1.51 today . check out

Give me an email where I can send you my most recent transactions from my paypal account (as people pay via paypal on rococolife.com) and also where I can shoot you some fb stats. I am runing 2 ads on there currently. FB has really been my main source of traffic and that along brings me in REV. If I was more SEO and traffic inclined I could prob do more. My buddy submitted me to a bunch of link posting sites, I dont know if they did anything but help me rank. I currently rank 1st on google for rococo life and rococolife. and have a nice youtube video page with over 170k views.

How long per day do you maintain it?

A: Good questions, here are they answers:

Yes we sends all products in an update file. a .rar with pictures, sizes and prices.

They do not have a site as he is my connection and friend and runs my factories in China. He is kind of the guy behind the scenes who supplies the sites that you see on the regular and the flea market in your area.

The deal between the 2 of us is that he gives me a standard price of each item. (assuming a customer ordered just one piece of an item) and that rate remains constant no matter where it is shipped in the world. We ship internationally. For example, if a chanel purse costs $40 my cost, it will always be $40 including shipping no matter where I ship it. I charge $90 on my site and say shipping is free. (it is really included in the markup.)

Yes, I can provide full descriptions for each product. I was just too lazy to do so as I thought noone would read it. I can provide dimensions, weight, specs and anything else. I have handled every product in my inventory. Remember he updates inventory for me every couple months by sending me a .rar.

I ship out every monday and wednesday. so, twice a week I spend about 20 mins gathering the orders, emailing them to my supplier and paying him. To be honest, thats about it. I have him on MSN and he is really cool to talk to and is kind of cool interacting with an international partner in China. He lives in Guanzoung.

 

For those who were wondering, yes that was on the market before however buyer had funding issues thus I am re listing it.

 

BTW All traffic and revenue information is available upon request, as well as Alexa information.

 

What is your profit a month??

 

$3000 from site, $10 000+ through offline sales.
