Wholesale books business and website for sale
Many of my readers and customers from Wholesale Remainders have been inquiring as to why we have not done any major purchasing for the site in the past two months. Mostly, it has been because I have gotten so caught up with this blog and Book Sale Scout, that I have not had the time to juggle so many sites. That said I am going to begin seeking a buyer for the Wholesale Remainders division of LRABooks. It has been a strong source of income for LRABooks, with 2006 being our strongest year yet. Unfortunately, I manage the business from a distance, as it is currently run out of Syracuse, NY. In any event, here is a list of the assets of the division that will be transferred with the sale. The asking price is $10,000.00, which is a steal for the right buyer, but acceptable to me because this division carries no debt. Contact me if you have any questions/ideas.
