Sold Sticker Manufacturer and Ebay Store

I am pleased to announce on Monday, April 11, 2011, FBX completed the sale of a Southwest Florida business specializing in the manufacture and sale decorative stickers for sports teams, pet owners, and individuals who like to decorate their automobiles, windows, notebooks and other personal possessions. The business' primary distribution channels are their ebay store and website.

The purchaser of the business is a highly successful business which manufactures and sells stickers and decals to off-road automotive and recreational vehicle enthusiasts. The newly acquired business adds a very successful ebay store to their distribution channel and a means to produce and sell related product through their existing channels.

If you would like to sell your ebay store or income producting website, I have many motivated buyers. Please contact me (see below) for additional information.

Las Vegas Business Press :: News : Bargain prices stoke surge in business sales

Business sales have accelerated in 2010.

Key quote: "Most businesses are listed at an absolute maximum multiple of two times net income and usually sell for about one multiple of income, after recasting financials to cover one-time expenses and costs not related to the business (owner benefit)".

This is especially true of businesses generating under $125K in annual owner benefit. In the present market, small business sales are getting done on the buyer's terms.
