Selling Selling iPhone Handsets website - $445 in 2 weeks

Hi guys, please bear with me, this is my first site I have sold on dp.

What I am Selling?

I have a site selling iPhones for sale. It is a little over a month old.
It sells UNLOCKED iPhones - 3G and 3GS; i saw a niche in the market for unlocked3gs iphones and created the site.
It is a wordpress site, the theme is free but i have done some modding to MAXIMIZE conversions.

The site is a .co.uk and so it is targeted to the UK audience; and so the winner should be preferably in the UK (however the supplier does ship abroad, the winner if from abroad will have a slightly less profit mark up as they will incur overseas shipping cost so maybe $10-20 less)

The sales procedure is simple, you get a order, receive payment, pay supplier, you receive phone, you unlock it (i will provide you with unlocking procedure) it takes 10mins max, then you simply ship to customer. I will provide you the source of the iPhones.

I know some of you may think it is a lengthy procedure; and yes it does require a little time; but the profit per unit makes it simply more than worth it.

Promotion / Marketing.
I have paid for 30 PR6-PR9 Backlinks to be manually submitted.
I have done all the on page SEO
I have also done some social bookmarking
The domain name is very key rich!

It ranks on the first page of Google UK for the term "Unlocked iPhone 3GS"

My initial plan was to market via PPC only; Clicks are fairly cheap. I will include my PPC Adwords campaign to the winner.

Here is a screen shot of traffic in July

Revenue

The current mark up for each phone is $150-300 depending on the model of the phone.
This is a very healthy markup, the winner can change the price as they please; I would advise experimenting with the prices to see if itaffect demand.
I have made 2 sales in July; one was for 32gb iPhone 3GS and the other one was an 8GB iPhone 3G.
Total profit after postage cost for both $445. Bear in mind i kept my campaign running for about only a 10 days as I could not afford to keep putting money in Adwords. I can provide paypal proof if need be.

Why am I selling?

I have many projects currently and have just bought a site from dp which i need to focus on, furthermore I don't have the funds to run the PPC campaign; When i first launched the site, i set a budget on adwords $15 per day, i ran the campaign for 3 days before I got my first sales and made a profit of $150. I believe the winner of this should of some capital they can risk on Adwords campaign, it has real potential; please do not bid if you are not patient nor have money to pump into Adwords.


The domain is one with 123-reg, i have been told it is pretty easy to push/transfer.
I will provide the winner with the PSD's required if they are wanting to change the prices.


Like I said, if someone has the time and can focus on promoting and experiment with tweaking prices...and has the capital to use Adwords, This site really could be a true money maker.
If anyone is aware, the iPhone market is in constant demand; especially sim free handsets. Look for increase demand/sales when it approached Christmas time.


If anyone has any questions please pm me.
