Long established (1998) computer eCommerce site. Past annual sales just under $1,100,000.00
Share on:

UsedLaptops.com is an established ecommerce company with a long-standing domain name. (Sale will also include notebookmall.com and notebookmall.net).

Domain and business in existence since 1998.

Sales of laptops, tablets, smartphones, and accessories are processed directly through the website as well as by phone.

Past annual revenue approached $1,100,000.00.

Direct single and multi-unit sales to both businesses and consumers.

First page Google, Yahoo, Bing for term "used laptops".

Usedlaptops.com (sale also includes two additional long established high quality domains notebookmall.com & notebookmall.net) is a great domain whose long history presents a fantastic opportunity to someone interested in expanding a web business. This domain can also be used effectively as a companion site for a brick and mortar establishment. There are huge opportunities for growth in web traffic, and many of the obstacles that face brand new domains will not exist with the ingrained and durably-ranked usedlaptops.com.

The site has high quality backlinks from national brands such as Yahoo, PCWorld, Dmoz, eHow, etc.

Some mistakes with this site were made along the way. The shopping cart change from MIVA Merchant to freewebstore.org was a poor choice. Valuable links that resulted in search traffic to content pages at the back of the site were entirely purged in the process. This ended up eliminating site viewers who had before reached usedlaptops.com via one of numerous terms. The site was well ranked for an array of low and moderate-traffic keywords before the shopping carts were switched. These rankings remain largely unrecovered.

We aren’t sure that the website’s revenues will ever return to the nearly $1,100,000.00 achieved several years ago, but there is no question that usedlaptops.com continues to have a healthy upside.

The lost search rankings can certainly be recaptured with some diligent effort. The shopping cart platform must be updated. Useful and up-to-date information that focuses once again on a diverse set of high and low-traffic keywords should be implemented. The domain, usedlaptops.com, has the history to assist in this process, making it friendlier than it would be with a fresh and uncharted domain.

Selling refurbished hardware is a more-serene enterprise than others we have participated in. This is a good thing. The margins on used technology products, historically speaking, tend to be strong, even when they are drop shipped rather than sold from inventory. Margins will grow substantially if the site’s owner was able to refurbish the units him or herself. Machines that cannot be adequately repaired can be dismantled and parted out, another opportunity to supplement the current business for an individual with the right expertise.

The laptop business is not related to our other businesses and we are unable to put the time and resources behind it that are needed. That is the reason for the sale.

The business has cultivated many contacts through the years. Many bulk hardware for sale offers are received each day via email and through the website contact form. All of these contacts will be available to the buyer through the existing email accounts.

Revenues:

2001 - $294,027.47
2002 - $966,009.35
2003 - $1,016,065.66
2004 - $1,063,025.47
2005 - $965,992.80
2006 - $943,167.14
2007 - $747,741.48
2008 - $388,909.50
2009 - $365,037.20
2010 - $367,778.29
2011 - $182,480.25
2012 - $57,735.37

Google Analytics Traffic Data Past Month:
Visits: 2915
Unique Visitors: 2710
Pageviews: 7848

UsedLaptops.com is a fantastic domain, and we believe strongly that its new owners will see a substantial benefit from the investment.

What sort of price are you looking for? Escrow fine if a transaction went through?

According to SEO Majestic, most of the back links are deleted. Can you provide proof of revenue in the past? Correct me if I am mistaken, you are asking $28,500 for the domain?

Sorcery of stirring the emotions is here

The price includes the usedlaptops.com domain, website, and business. It also includes the other two domains notebookmall.com and notebookmall.net. The customer list and supplier contacts are included.

Over the years, the business has generated many hardware supplier contacts and we receive many offers each day via email and through the site. Those contact email addresses will be passed to the new owner.

We have the QuickBooks sales data from those past years as listed above.
