Is This a Good Time to Get Set With an iSold It Franchise in Australia?

Sean Kelly, Possibly man of my colleagues on the b5media network's business channel of blogs, covers the franchise row with his tickety-boo and again lid-lifting blog, Franchise Pick. Lately he has been tracking the fortunes and misfortunes of iSOLD It - "the unhurried acknowledge proceeding to sell on eBay", which describes itself as "a nationwide chain of drop off stores that makes it unhurried proper for anyone to handle their things online".

But while the visitors website presents a alert and breezy imagine, it appears that things are in fact not too optimistic at mete out. See for example Sean's post An available Letter to iSold It Franchisees From CEO Ken destroy. In the exactly referred to in the post title, the CEO acknowledges various challenges and says, among other things, that "the throng is instantly focusing all resources on supporting the existing franchised stores".

Switch to Australia and the native website does not happen to give any token of the issues aired by the CEO or of any self-control in the development of modern stores. A map on the place shows buttons for sixteen stores "toe without delay", spanning the continent from East to West and South to North, four on NSW and two for every other State or Territory except the ACT. If you look further down the page there appears to be actually only one hold operating, in West Geelong, and one with an address and contact details in Belmont, WA - "opening soon".

In his latest post on the taxpayer,  iSold It Australia Franchise: eBay Plunder Downunder?, Sean wonders at the fact that the Australian website seems to be full steam ahead on selling franchises and whether this indicates that they are in advance carve than had been indicated:

At least in Australia, the rumor that eBay particle-off store franchise concept iSold It is fundamentally flawed and not viable be required to be greatly exaggerated.  Otherwise, why would they continue to transfer franchises?

If you can penthouse any obscure on the position with iSold It in Australia, Sean would attachment to understand from you.

As would I. Leave a commentary and I'll make trustworthy Sean sees it.
