JeffM Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I know this is not the appropriate place for a "For Sale" notoce but this sale is different. http://www.high-heels-leipzig.de/ is for sale. What an oportunatey for some one from this forum to get involved in high heels. OR for the whole or most of this group to get more involved in high heels if WE were to buy it. Just a thought. Jeff
shyguy Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 What like own shares in a shoe site ???? Where do I sign up He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
Bubba136 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 If you purchase shares, do you get a discount on any merchandise you buy? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
shyguy Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I'm in for that too Bubba, discount and part ownership woohoo He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
Dr. Shoe Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 But is it viable? Is it making enough money? Why is somebody selling an internet site? Hate to be negative but noone sells a profitable website. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
JeffM Posted February 8, 2004 Author Posted February 8, 2004 Dr Shoe Suggest you read what the owner says about selling at http://www.high-heels-leipzig.de/ Basically he runs two buinesses, the shoes are his hobby, the other has grown and is demanding so much of his time he has to get rid of the shoe side of things. How much he wants for it I dont know. As for share holders getting a discount, that would be up to the share holders wouldnt it. Jeff
Heelboykiz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 grrr i need that translating but a good selection of shoes
JeffM Posted February 8, 2004 Author Posted February 8, 2004 Go to this site http://world.altavista.com/ then copy in this http://www.high-heels-leipzig.de/ in the "translate a web page" section then select the language "German to English" then click translate You will get a pretty good tranlation from the origional web site. Jeff
PJ Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Be carefull. This business opportunity involves a niche market. You won't be marketing to the general public, only to a select few. Marketing a business is hard enough. And marketing to a niche group of customers is a lot tougher. click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.

Jeff Firstly, I don't read German (though I will have a look at the translation) and secondly what would you say if you were selling a website? You'd have to give a reason wouldn't you? However, I'm not saying that that is the case all I'm saying is be careful. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
JeffM Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 If I was thinking of buying this business or any other I would have a professional go through the books and every thing involved with that business before committing myself to the purchase. I would suggest that anyone or any group contemplating purchase do the same. Jeff
Bubba136 Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Just curious! When you buy a website, what do you get? Any stock involved? or is this just another catalog operation where you purchase something from this guy and he relays your order to some other merchant that actually fills and ships it to you? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
JeffM Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 Bubba if you read the sale notice on his web site you will see just what stock he has, a reasonable amount but not all sizes. Jeff
Dr. Shoe Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 I think it would be better and cheaper to start your own site. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
JeffM Posted February 11, 2004 Author Posted February 11, 2004 Definitely could be cheaper but not necessarily better if this guy has a good reputation already. I didnt know him until I saw the notice via a link in Joak's site. Jeff
Bubba136 Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 SashaTS, a former poster here for almost four years, started a internet website selling shoes. High quality merchandise -- purchased in bulk from LSB and resold by her. i guess she was in business for about a year or so. I bought two pair of pumps. The two pair of pumps with 7" heels that I use in my avitar. She only had one piece of advice that she offered as she went out of business and that was -- chose a good, reliable supplyer. One that can pay attention to filling orders and ship them on time. She sold her website to someone else, if I remember correctly. Now, we haven't heard from Sasha in over a year. We miss her smiling face, too. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
