selling my business, what's it worth, where to sell?

[dan_ebay]

I really don't see selling a business with a load of stealth accounts as viable lol.

Personally think you'd get sued to shti if anything went wrong but even ignoring that its going to devalue the business massively, 99% of people won't be interested in a business with a load of ebay/paypal accounts in fa ke names lol

Let the auction of the account...begin!

ok assumed its more than 1 seeing as thats pretty much rule 1 of stealth.

We don't have eins in the UK, already had a little argument with a mod and had my posts deleted over the fact that sending pictures of fa ke government ID's might not be entirely legal so not going into that again.

Like I said though, 99% of people won't be interested in a business that has a big chunk of its income coming from account/s in fa ke names and addresses. I know I wouldn't of been before finding this forum and even now I'd still pay less

if the ebay is a business one could they not change the details to the new business owner?

yep stealth account and real account for sale as legit dose not work for me..
you do know the stealth account has someone else's name and address. ?how do you explain that to a real buyer.
and and swapping users and ip's if someone told me that i would run a mile..
If i was you just stick to the legit website and forget about the stealth ebay account..
it could come back and bite you on the ass..

Sounds like you had an idea, proved that you can make money but now want to sell quick because either you are too lazy to expand and protect yourself from the competition or because you don't see long term future for the company.

As a buyer, I would most likely not consider buying a company that is virtually in its startup phase.

I agree with what your saying. It's actually what I am planning to do now - to hire someone at some point. But I am a bit concerned with hiring people, ie. trusting them to do the work and to do work correctly. Any tips on hiring (or management) ?

I only have one stealth - I know it's risky, But I know 110% what I am doing, and 2 years so far with stealth not had any problems.

Only one stealth.

But I agree with the fact that people would not like to buy stealth businesses.

I actually thought this would be more sensible -

On exchange:
-Legit website - details changed to new owner, with new paypal
-stealth Account - sold with stealth ebay acc + paypal account

No issue right????

Thanks for the input, I do agree. but what do you think of this:

"On exchange:
-Legit website - details changed to new owner, with new paypal
-stealth Account - sold with stealth ebay acc + paypal account

I buy it for some good advice

[Karlos]

mate, the only reasonable advise here could be - try to find some one who is in same area of business and offer it to him on some "special conditions".

nobody in clear mind will not buy a business without accountant / documentation / P&L sheets and legit documentation.

all kind of stealth, this is a "monkey business" and there is a value only for you, as you know it, but do you think anyone will pay you 20 k or even 10 k , or even 5 k being risking banned already tomorrow and not having an opportunity to be a full legit.

so you need to get a different approach in selling your business.

as an example, I have 3 shops, all top rated, with constant net profit 3000 gbp , but due to some "special circumstances" i don`t think that selling price of 10 000 gbp for all three shops would be interesting to someone.

But you are in absolutely different "money category", so forget about 20 000 k , or even 10 000 k .. this is a dream )
