Summary

Our bookshop is in secure, clean storage and looking for a new home, ready to pick up. Quality secondhand books, priced, categorised with adjustable steel shelves, and point-of-sale equipment.

Location Details

Currently in dry, clean storage, ready for pick-up to wherever you are! Books are packed flat in clean boxes. Shelving used only once and available for you to set up in your own shop location, wherever you want that to be. Images are past set-up.

Potential

Sell from a shop, or combine direct sales with online selling. You could use social media to boost sales (or not), and if you set up in a tourist location, sales will be boosted during every tourist-attracting event (or start your own local literary festival!).

Skills

A love of books and knowledge of literature will go a long way with your customers.

Hours

Set your own hours direct to customers in-store, and/or with loads of flexibilty with online selling.

Reason for Sale

Time to move on to other things for us. We have moved elsewhere and the bookshop didn't come with us.

About the Business

Approximately 14,000 quality secondhand books, all categorised, priced and cleaned. Another 3,500 books approx. (back-up stock) that is not categorised/ on the database is also available. Retail revenue of categorised books alone is approx. $240,000. All categories of books are represented.

Sale also includes adjustable steel shelving (like you see in libraries), it is in excellent condition.

Point-of-sale equipment is included (book displays, baskets, cash register etc.).

Pick-up is at cost of buyer. The entire bookshop can go to wherever you want to set it up, either direct to your home for online selling, or to a retail shop (there are enough books and shelves for up to a 90sqm max. retail space, including your service desk and walkways etc.). Or, have a smaller shop, or just online from your home, whatever works for you. I would consider selling the books and shelves separately.

History

Bookshop has been a retail shop, and then an established online selling business after covid graced us with its presence. Established in 2017, now in storage since 2024 since we moved.
