I've had a wonderful time with my Stuffed Animal Business for the past 2 1/2 years, but it's now time to say goodbye! We have serviced individuals, through on-site birthday parties and special events, worked with the City of Edmond for the Edmond Festival of Children, more day-care establishments than we care to realize, church groups, etc. The market is still wonderful for this business (I'm still turning down business), but medical needs and personal changes in my own life has prompted the need for me to sell it at this time. The target-market possibilities are endless, as there's no competition currently for the daycare/church groups right now, especially in neighboring towns that I was going to market to eventually (ie. Stillwater, Shawnee, etc). We've gone to Norman, Moore, Shawnee, Cushing, Mustang, Guthrie and many more to service these cities because no one is doing this there! This business can also be used at/for craft shows, which I would have loved to do, (I did a couple with good success), but just never made time to fit them in! What you will receive: Transportable stuffing machine in great condition - on wheels! Easy enough to take anywhere! (We hauled it in my Toyota Sienna Van). Original purchase price was $4995, and $300 shipping (it came crated, in a semi-truck). It is a no-maintenance machine, and we have had no problems with it. Comes with the Original Owners Manual/CD. Current Stuffed Animal Inventory - All animal skins have never been used and are in new/excellent condition. All are large, 15-17 inch animals (huggable, not hand-held) These were sold easily for $10/ea. You could ask more (many on E-bay ask $14 - $17 for the same animals). Approximately 270 pieces at the time of this posting. I do not expect this quantity to change, I just cover myself in case of a miscount. Current Animal Clothing Inventory (Outfits) - All outfits have never been used and are in new/excellent condition. The majority of the outfits are packaged, though some are not. I typically unpackage the outfits if they are going to be displayed at an event, therefore some are not packaged, but none are worn or used and are in sell-ready condition! Also easily sold for $10/ea. Many on E-bay ask (and receive) as much as $14 for these. Approximately 230 pieces at the time of this posting. Again, I do not expect this quantity to change, I just cover myself in case of a miscount. Current Accessory Inventory - includes sunglasses, shoes, hats, caps, voice recorders, sound inserts, t-shirts, boxers, take-home boxes, etc. Approximately 382 pieces at the time of this posting, Again, I do not expect this quantity to change, I just want to cover myself in case of a miscount. (4) Four metal racks that I used to display the outfits on. Metal racks are covered with a plastic-type paint, and were purchased from a store going out of business; I think that they used to be maybe magazine racks or something, but they were perfect for what I needed them for (to hand the outfits on hangers!) Value Set at $10. (These are not pictured). 1 PVC Display rack used in the picture of the animals on display, but only larger. We custom built this for our needs, and made a second one larger after these photos were taken to accommodate more animals. Could use a repair in one section, and a new coat of paint, but it works great as it is, and the animals hide the scuffed paint. The sale of this business is for equipment/inventory as described above, and does NOT include, the right to the use of my business name, my logo, or any of my slogans used in my business marketing materials, or any information regarding established business connections or contacts. This may seems selfish and strange, but it matters when it comes to my business taxes! Since I have been an established business and I have marketed well for approximately 1 1/2 years and enjoyed the success of hard work, I have had many businesses who continue to use my services several times a year and I have built a great reputation and name for my company! If you are interested in keeping my business name, identifiable Logo or slogans, or wish to have contact info, that can be negotiated into the price of the sale of the business, with an additional cost. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who is interested in going into business for yourself to start up at the fraction of the cost of starting this type of business from scratch. Serious inquiries only, please. Serious offers will be considered. Will consider delivery to Kansas City. Please e-mail me through the e-mail link. Thanks so much!
