I have some questions, please?

Is this a unique website or a template, or a modified template? If a template, what was used?

Are you currently running any affiliates? If so, is the buyer required to continue the agreement?

The "Featured Product". Do you need to update that manually, or can it be set to auto update from the databsae? Or can the update be for specific lighters you choose, or by a random set of lighters the user chooses?

Does the 1-800 number come with the sale?

Can you supply any proof of income? (yearly, preferably)

You mention revenue is approximately. $10 - $20 a day. What type of advertising do you do? How much do you spend on it per month? Will you supply instructions on how/where to advertise?

When/what year was this site established? (how old is it?)
I did a check on archive.org and for some reason it says there is no record. I also checked DMOZ and for some reason the site doesn't come up. Also the PR for some reason is coming up only PR 1 for me.

If you can supply any other information I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Carol

Huh. I tried searching there for just that possibility but I can't find a thread there. Do you have a link to it? Maybe PM me?

Thanks.
