| Internet Business Guide Review |
 This Video Game Web Site For Sale claims $149,900 in revenue. Yet, the home page has no Google Page Rank; and Alexa shows a ranking of over 3,000,000. An Internet Business Opportunity, such as this Video Game Etailer, that has no Google PR for its\’ home page and a high Alexa Rank raises a question.
This question is one that you should ask when buying any Internet Business For Sale. “What percentage of sales are completed without the aid of any other means of communication other than the web site? When I ask that question, and the seller responds that many sales require other means of communication, I will ask what percentage require the other means of communication with the customer. If the answer is greater than 20% then the business is not an Internet Business Opportunity in the way I view eCommerce. If it is greater than 20% I categorize it as a business with a strong eCommere component, but not an eCommerce business.Many buyers are comfortable with selling to customers on the phone and answering many emails, but there freedom incumbent in an Internet Business Opportunity is lost.
The description of this Home Based Business For Sale does state an eBay store as well. It could well be that the majority of sales are conducted through the eBay store.However, this raises another question on the transition of the business. eBay has a gotcha! Meaning you may not gain a clean title to the business. Hundreds of eBay Online Stores have transferred ownership; with the mutual agreement, outside the purchase agreement, for the transfer of the assets. |
