Yes it is hyphenated, but it is the 800 pound gorilla for the industry. And this has to be the most fun industry to be in. Yes, you work hard during September and October, but sales are year-round.

You are not just buying a site, you are purchasing a job.

#1 ranked with yahoo and other search engines and has been given an "authority" status by Google at its #1 position. Go to the search engine of your choice and type in "halloween mask" or "halloween masks" without the quotations.

This is the work of years, thousands of manhours and many late nights. Site has been online since 2002, see archive dot org: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.halloween-mask.com

The masks are broken down by price. With the sale of this url, you also get the sister site halloween-masks.com which is broken down by category and well ranked of its own accord.

Masks are about half drop shipped and half from inventory carried on hand. Sale price is 3 years revenue plus inventory purchased at wholesale and below (from convention discounts).

I am selling through a broker, you will need to email Mark through his site at http://www.quietlightbrokerage.com/ for details. I am not comfortable throwing out numbers. Browsing is fine, I do it all the time, but serious buyers will seek out opportunity.

Very nice John! Didn't know someone on DNF owned this one. I almost bought a mask from the site this Halloween. Funny you have it for sale now.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, Justin!

I am always delighted that people know the site, I do appreciate that.

For example, I went to Vegas for Transworld last spring, and the checkout girl at the rent a car company knew of the site, as did alot of other people there. Parents, grocery store clerks, just anybody. Really amazes me.

It is also cool to sell a mask to a production company, and then see it used on the show/movie. We outfitted Motley Crue for the "Circus of Sin" tour, which was also kind of fun.

My wife and I have both put in alot of time building it all to this level, and it is getting to the point where it is more than we can handle. It is time to pass it along to someone younger and/or with more resources. We would otherwise keep it, and will miss it when it's (hopefully) gone.

Halloween fell on a Friday this year, and we had record sales. May not mean much, every year has better sales than the one before it, but THIS Halloween falls on a Saturday.

It will be sales-mayhem!

Quiet Light Brokerage just re-published my listing on their site. We took a break from trying to sell it during the season, and then had to incorporate the data generated from Halloween 2008 into the sales figures.

If you saw the listing before, price has been substantiall lowered to compensate for the hurting economy.

Here's the link:

Hope we can find the person with the right stuff for this business! Thanks!

Can this website be optimized to use an affiliate program rather than holding stock or using dropshipping? Would you know of supplier(s) to recommend for an affiliate program?

Is the traffic organic? Do you pay for any promotions?

I am interested in figures but I am confused about how to go on about obtaining information (stats, earnings...etc) Sorry if I am missing the obvious. Please pm me informtation or instructions.

Thank you
