iSold It is proud to be the #1 sales volume leader on eBay. By tapping into the tremendous pipeline of unwanted items that virtually every household or business has stored away, we have built an international network of convenient neighbourhood drop-off stores that make it easy for anyone to sell their items online. Our customers provide the merchandise, and our stores provide the photography, listing, packing & shipping. We do the work and they get a cheque. Of course, our customers think this is a great service. We see it as a huge opportunity.

Today, with over 200 franchise stores under contract, iSold It is the #1 drop-off store chain and one of the fastest growing franchises. And we've really just begun. We're planning to grow stores internationally and Australia wide with additional services like corporate account programs and new e-commerce programs planned for the future. When you are awarded an iSold It franchise, you join an exciting, fast growing company that has led the explosive drop-off category growth from the beginning.

Possibly the Biggest Franchise Opportunity in 20 years
When we opened our first iSold It store, we knew that we had created something special. But what followed was truly amazing. CNN started with a news feature on iSold It. Hundreds of articles and news stories featured iSold It as the new ‘darling’ of the eBay world. Clearly, we had created something beyond special -- we had created a whole new industry. Today, with over 200 franchise stores under contract, iSold It has quickly become the Favourite Drop-off Store.

How iSold It Works
We’re an original franchise concept that offers customers an easy and effortless way to sell their items online. This unique approach to online retailing gives customers a “clicks & mortar” store where they can drop off merchandise that they would like to liquidate online. Customers simply stop by a store to drop off items they want to sell, and iSold It takes care of the rest.

Each full-service iSold It store provides the following services:
• Professionally photographs each item
• Posts the item for sale online
• Holds the item in inventory
• Answers buyer questions
• Collects payment
• Packs and ships the item

iSold It's SAM software coordinates overall store operations, including inventory tracking, customer database management, money collection and check printing.

Advantages of Joining the iSold It Franchise Network

Buying Power - The buying strength of the entire chain gets you negotiated rates with suppliers and access to products and services that are only available to large operators.

Store Construction - Our first class store design is modular. Your entire "store-in-a-box" arrives in one truck and our professional installers get you up and running in two days.

Advertising - In addition to our in-house marketing team, we employ outside advertising and public relations agencies to assist us in developing programs to build the iSold It brand.

Franchise Store Support -The largest team of drop-off store experts. Offering site selection, training and on-going support to every store.

Low Cost Operation - As little as $225,000 for a fully operational store, plus working capital. And since your inventory is provided by your customers, your day-to-day expenses are predominately store rent, labour & marketing.
