What I like about the below case study is the age of the domain (over 5 years old) and monthly revenues.
What I dislike is the main traffic sources – the business relies on expensive AdWords traffic source (that old domain should be well established in search engines and get a considerable organic traffic share) and Craigslist where moderators delete every second post labeled as spam (am I wrong?)
E-commerce sites that sell furniture, lighting, home décor products are likely to have a steady flow of customers – home improvement is no doubt an industry with lot of funds spent.

Description:
This excellent domain has been online since 2003. I have recently spent over $15,000 on optimization, conversion testing, and a complete redesign! This site has brought in over 1 Million page views in the past 3 months alone and has done over $73,000 in sales since January!
Features include powerful built in SEO tools, affiliate program tracking, email blasting software, product zoom, CC processing, easy to use inventory system, and more! All products are drop shipped and you make at least 200%-300% mark-ups!
This site has been valued at over $200,000 but I need to sell ASAP due to a massive personal tax bill and some unexpected expenses that I wasn’t counting on. I am listing it for only $85,000 BIN or you can make me an offer.
Revenue Details:
Average sales over the past 3 months has been $23,000.
Average profit is roughly $14,000 per month.
All paintings are drop shipped the day that the orders are placed. Very easy to run and the only work you do is marketing!
Traffic Details:
I get most of my traffic through Adwords and Craigslist (works great!)
I will stay on board and work free of charge for 30 days after the sale to help train you on everything and make sure things run smoothly.
This business is very easy to run. Someone who knows SEO and PPC well could easily double or triple what I’m earning.
