Hello WHT, I have a huge auction going on here. I'm selling a fairly large business, that has a huge money making potential. The business has not been in operation for too long, yet it's already gained popularity. I'll tell you about this auction:

Site domain: http://www.exclusive-designs.com

What it does: This business sells pre-made exclusive designs.

What's so special about the site? This site has gained popularity and interest because of one reason; it sells exclusive designs for cheap! This company is one of a kind, unlike other template sites that sell their designs for the same price, but 50 times.

What does this company include? This company is being sold complete, and comes with:


Domain name (exclusive-designs.com)
Domain name (exclusive-city.com)
Complete site design
Complete site (all content)
All exclusive products, plus much more (not online)
1 Order Form
1 Contact Form
1000 Hits from hitempire.com (http://www.hitempire.com)
Advertising for 2 months at 2 different popular forums
Much more little things!


Domains: Both domains have alittle less then a year of registration left, and they are registered at tosdomains.net (http://www.tosdomains.net).

Products: Every product on that page is exclusive, we have added much more since we started because once they are sold, they are taken off the site. All products were either bought from designers, or professionally developed for the site. All products come with the .jpg, .psd and all fonts used. *Templates- come with .HTML file too*


There, now you have a little bit of knowledge about the site, and believe it or not.. This business has been going great since it started. People love the idea that their template will not be anywhere else on the Internet, so that is why they buy it (and the cheap prices).

I will keep everyone updated on the current bid. Bidding will go until tomorrow night. Many hours have gone into the creation of the site, products and marketing of this site.

I strongly prefer Paypal as the payment method.

If you have any questions at all, please let me know :)

Oh, and don't be scared to bid :blush:

:) Hi ExclusiveDez,
Before I make a bid, I have a question. You said that


Every product on that page is exclusive, we have added much more since we started because once they are sold, they are taken off the site. All products were either bought from designers, or professionally developed for the site.

As the products on the site are not infinite, does the purchase include the contracts you have with your suppliers for your designs, logos, headers etc?

Or at least their contact details?

Yes, if you need anything else developed, I have the designers standing by. Is that what you mean? :)

:) Yes that's what I needed to know.

My bid is US$160.00

Thanks :)

Just curious, what is the going rate for them to develop new templates? Great concept, will be watching what bids get to in the afternoon timeframe :-)

Do you have a drop dead time you will stop taking bids?

David

What the!!! were did $250 come from I don't see any bids after mine.

I hope you aren't inflating the bids yourself.

I would be intrested to know how much content you already have.

How much you pay the designers for the designs.

If there is any current traffic.

Once the orders have been placed what is required, is it just the matter of emailing them the file(s) or do the files need to be modified in some way.

Adam

The site has the potential to become a viable competition to hostskins.com and other middle-of-the-road template sites. I wish I had more time in my hands... I would have offered straight $400 for it.

Some of my questions will be repeating previously asked questions that were not answered:

1. What is the official time cutoff for this auction?

2. Do you customize the templates, or just email the files "as is" when purchased?

3. How much do you pay for the templates? i.e., what profit margin are you working with?

4. How many designers are you hooked up with to provide you with a steady flow of product?

5. When you post a new bid of $320 (I'm presuming that's by PM), it would help if you stated who the bid is from (adds credibility to the bid).

6. How many templates do you have "in stock" ready to sell? Do you have an approximate retail value for your total inventory?

Vito

Hi Vito :).. Theres no "official" cutoff time, just sometime tonight...
I can customize the template to an extent yes..
I pay about $20 per template (give or take) So I sell them for about $10 more
I have 3 designers, 1 template, 1 header designer and 1 logo designer
The bid was from James [FD] I'll mention it next time :)
I have about 5 more now, but I can have them made anytime you need :)

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. :)

Vito

no problem :)

$350

Thanks for your offer :)

I'll end this in about 3 more hours :)

What's the current offer?

$350, bidding will end in EXACTLY 1 hour :)

Duplicate...

Will bid $370.00 on this...

David

Will bid $400

:D

So if you were him you wouldn't go with the $400 bid? You can't honestly tell me that.

Logically? I would stand by what I stated... If I decided to change the features that our hosting clients received to lesser than that we advertised, chances are we wouldn't still be in business... ;)

Who stated what, where, when and how?

What's the result?

Did I get this or was I pipped?
