Simple questions mostly and amazon accounts are frequently sold nowadays for the dingbat that said neigh to that. Average number of shipments/sales per month? All buyers that are interested can access these infos. I'm afraid, I'm not selling it on Aseannow, but simply asked if it was possible to meet buyers in Thailand. Missus has asked a few people but none have any ideas. I thought some knowledgeable foreigners might know something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think based on your zero data policy the biggest hurdle in the sale will be you. Best of luck tho chum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, you are indeed an interesting person. I have asked if someone knows a way to sell a business like this. Let me also repeat, you may want to read it again, I am NOT offering anything for sale here. I'm only asking a question whether its viable to meet buyers in Thailand. One more time, I AM NOT SELLING THE BUSINESS IN THIS THREAD!!! Hence, I'm not going to share our company information with you! Lol, how many times shall I write this down???????????

Anything can be done if the price is right, even that information has not been posted. That's because he's not offering it for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you were the Tax Collection Department I recall you had a lot of issues with shoppee on another thread and any ecom person knows basic data like avg packages shipped per month. Not exactly financial data, no mention of premises and stock holding estimates. Thats beyond basic data and if anyone who could help was reading your thread, how can they look themselves in the mirror and believe garee has a genuine opportunity that needs further examination? No ones buying G, shoppee (TH) will be no where in a year anyway and you surely know that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a popular item, and can get at bulk discount ... most things are drop shipped. If not, then we're talking higher overhead w/warehouse & employees for S&H. No info ...

And it's true it's not easy to deal with Shopee and Lazada's partner support not saying the buyers. We are not selling properties, but the rights, the name, the stock, manufacturers details, advice, the portfolio of an established business. Buyer can have a warehouse wherever he wants it. We rent our shop and storages. Anyways, I know a few people who tried to open their online shops recently, but can't make it work. Some have stopped doing it and some are struggling. It's too late to start from zero. But taking over an established online shop gives the chance to immediately raise revenue. Our yearly turnover is 11-12 million baht. It's a smallish business. However, in reality, we could do way more than that but we haven't got the capacity to handle that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to learn online selling. It's not a local mom and pop shop where the soda is always 10 baht. There is of course a limit as to how much you can charge for a product. However, it's down to the seller to create their marketing and advertising. Sellers can make their products popular but it requires hard work. It's more important than your price. But you know it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 My daughter started, as many do, from zero, and doing quite nicely.

Why not treat this online site as a possible avenue to find people that might be interested to buy? The questions asked here are likely to be not all that different from anywhere else.
