Business for Sale Overview:
Established in 1999 by the current owner as a semi retirement, home run business to supplement his income, this business has since become one of the largest and best stocked antique print websites in the world, offering over 95 selling categories, providing over 2,500 prints, exhibited on the website.
The website itself is a functional and easy to use e-commerce site, allowing customers to browse, search or easily find any print or engraving available. They can search by type, through 95 categories, by artist or by style. Once found the print is easily viewed and enlarged, with all details available and can then be ordered and paid for on-line, using either worldpay or paypal. Items are then shipped anywhere in the world, usually using standard postal facilities.
Customers range from domestic clients buying for their own home or collection, dealers wishing to sell on or acquire on commission, or designers furnishing the residence of their clients. These can be one off customers, or frequently regular and repeat clients.
