If asked why you like to run a dropship business most people will mention one reason – little time required for this business in case you do not set the goal to grow really BIG. You do not deal with shipping and returns. You need to properly set up your website – one-time step and then focus on promotion and optimization.
Another great thing about dropshipping – low financial investments required. In fact, you need money just to push your auction listings or e-commecre store. Oh, and some initial investment into the lists of verified dropshippers, though it is not a must… If you go through our numerous dropship business cases published you will get a feeling that many business owners were lucky to establish relations with their reliable dropshippers using no dropship suppliers lists.
This allows you to run a few dropship projects or combine dropship business with your full time job…

Description:
I am selling my e-commerce website (www.dashkitscovers.com) that generates revenue by selling interior dash kits for vehicles from a reliable dropshipper. Contact information and the website of the dropshipper will, of course, be given to the winning bidder. The site has been operating for more then a year with average monthly sales of 3-6 dash kits a month.
What is the Amount of Work Required to Maintain?
To properly maintain this site it usually takes about 1-2 hours a week to process orders and conduct customer service. The site uses the CRE B2B shopping cart and the dropship supplier gives out datafeeds with all the products to easily upload them to the cart. However, it is not actually that easy. You have to modify the datafeed if you want the products to look nice and if you want customers to be able to pick options on many of the products like colors and stuff. Otherwise, you have a separate product for each color or attribute assigned to the product, making it difficult for customers to navigate. Products are dropshipper so there is no need to have inventory or ship items yourself.
Why Are You Selling DashKitsCovers.com?
I’m selling this website because I recently graduated and I have a few interviews lined up, and will be placing my focus on my new job and other ventures. Furthermore, I have lost many, many potential sales because I don’t have time to answer customer phone calls or inquiries. This site has a lot of potential and should be able to achieve $750 + in monthly sales if the owner has the time to answer phone calls and maintain the site properly.
What Kind of Experience is Needed to Run this Site?
I would recommend you have prior experience with the CRE B2B shopping carts, datafeeds, and/or oscommerce. Or, if you don’t, at least know someone who you can pay to do the updating for you. If you need help, my supplier has many 3rd parties that can keep the datafeed updated for you for around $50/month. I can help you get in contact with these people.
Will You Help the Purchaser Transfer to Another Host?
Yes, I will help with the transfer process and I will offer 30 days of help (from the purchase date) in assisting you in learning how to run the site.
Revenue Details:
Sales revenue is derived from 3-7 dash kits a month; sales vary from one month to the next. Average profit margin per dash kit is about $45, and prices could probably still be increased a bit without losing sales. Average sale price on a dash kit is about $135, but varies depending on how many pieces the dash kit is. Only expense is hosting and SSL, and the wholesaler/dropshipper does not charge anything to join. Total profit per month as averaged over the past 3 months is $235.
