lets face it he has used ebay as a cheap way of selling, personally i would have used a firm specialising in selling business this way you could have got a good price without the hassle.
speaking to a friend last night who happens to be in the legal profession, she says that if the winning bidder wants to take it further he has some legal backing, he is not going to get the round but may get some compensation and matwigs is going to have a legal bill to pay.
when you look at other business's 30k investment is not unheard off. there is a market stall for sale near me 14k then a bill of 5 k to the council for checks and changeover. so 19k for an empty stall 10 k of stock then hope you take money. if you see the round as an assett then if you do the round for 5 years and sell for what you paid its not bad.
if i was to invest in this i would have a legal contract drawn up to limit the seller from working in the areas for 5 years. also no contact between him and the customers. i mean you could sell a round and then carry on in the area and pick up the ones you sold.
if you want such a high some for a round its time to sell it as a sucessfull business not something on ebay
