      I think it was a fair price, You would have to spend a fortune to compete with the likes of amazon, For every £1k you'd spend on competing you'd probably have to sell 800-1000 books through affiliate schemes to get your money back...It's a big ask!

      Good luck to buyer and well done seller , yeh it might b hard to compete against amazon but hey ... If it was easy ....,
      It does remind of something a friend of my dad told me when I was young he was in the car trade and I remember seeing him sell this car which seemed really cheap to me
      He said two things which really stuck with me 1 I can use that money and buy another car which can make me money and 2 I might never get another buyer at that price again for whatever reason why take the risk I've made money so hey

      Later when I was doing an MBA I remember reading in a business book "always leave some meat on the bone for the next person in any deal"

      You will do more deals and make more money that way
      Good luck to all

      Nice acquisution but I dread to think how much money will need to be spent to compete in the books sector. Very good luck to the buyer though- Id rather see him earn the £££ than Amazon et al.
