EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

So we take 12%, um, which is kind of in line with where eBay is in the sporting goods category.

From who though?

EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

We take it from the seller.

So if you pay $100, we take $12 of that $100.

And so the seller receives $88.

The buyer just pays $100 plus shipping.

That's the price that the seller listed it for.

Okay.

And so during the checkout process, average shipping cost is about $5 to the buyer, would end up paying about $60, and the seller, once all is said and done, would receive about $48.

It was nothing.

I mean, even in the beginning of last year, we hadn't really built out the transaction process, so we didn't make any money for the first couple years.

When we rebuilt the site and launched the platform last year, that's when we started to make money.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

Top line, we did about $400,000 in sales.

EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

We took 12% of that, so our revenue was about just under $40,000.

So our current run rate is 240,000 for revenue.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we're on pace to do over 2 million in sales.

In total transaction volume?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

Yeah, over 2 million in total transaction volume.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 359: Hit $2m Revenue Buy/Sell Other Athelets Gear On Cheap with Brendan Candon of SidelineSwap.com

Yeah, so we have about 12,000 monthly active users, so that means just come onto the platform, are socially engaged.

Kind of like a key piece of what we've built is that it's more than just transactional, which is what eBay provides for most e-commerce sites.
