Own the #1 Drop-off Franchise.
And You'll Join the #1 eBay Sales Leader!
We are building a nationwide network.
By tapping into the tremendous pipeline of unwanted items that virtually every household or business has stored away, we have built a nationwide network of convenient neighbourhood drop-off stores that make it easy for anyone to sell their items online. Our customers provide the merchandise, and our stores provide the photography, listing, packing & shipping. We do the work and they get a cheque. Of course, our customers think this is a great service. We see it as a huge opportunity.
iSold It is the #1 drop-off store chain and one of the fastest growing franchises in the U.S.A.
And we've really just begun here in Canada. We're planning to expand our model with additional services like corporate account programs and new e-commerce programs planned for the future. When you are awarded an iSold It franchise, you join an exciting, fast growing company that has led the explosive drop-off category growth from the beginning.

Possibly the Biggest Franchise Opportunity in 20 years.
When we opened our first iSold It store in Pasadena, we knew that we had created something special. But what followed was truly amazing. CNN started with a news feature on iSold It. Then USA Today followed with a cover story in their Money section. And, in short order, hundreds of articles and news stories featured iSold It as the new darling of the eBay world. Clearly, we had created something beyond special -- we had created a whole new industry. Today, with over 1,000 franchise stores under contract, iSold It has quickly become America's Favorite Drop-off Store. Now that iSold It is here in Canada we intend to have the same explosive impact as in the USA..
How iSold It Works
It is an original franchise concept that offers customers an easy and effortless way to sell their items online. This unique approach to online retailing gives customers a "clicks & mortar" store where they can drop off merchandise that they would like to liquidate, and iSold It takes care of the rest.
Each full-service iSold It store provides the following:
- Professionally photographs each item
- Posts the item for sale online
- Holds the item in inventory
- Answers buyer questions
- Packs and ships the item
Advantages of Joining the iSold It Franchise Network
National Brand Recognition
Set to be the country's largest drop-off store network with many more franchise stores planned. The clout of our network and huge marketing spend will give your local store a national presence & immediate brand recognition with your customers.
Buying Power
The buying strength of the entire chain gets you negotiated rates with suppliers and the leverage to access products and services that are only available to the largest operators.
Superior Technology
The backbone of the iSold It network is our proprietary Store Activity Management (SAM) software. It's designed to make operating one or more stores simple and effortless. Among the many features included are the easy-to-use listing technology, built-in photo editing, useful store management reports and a private intranet that lets you swap ideas with other store owners around the country. The software automates many functions leaving you more time to focus on building your business.
Site Selection
Our In-house Property department coordinates with local Property brokers to help find your store location. The process begins immediately after you sign your franchise documents, with local agents to help you.
Store Design & Construction
Your entire store arrives in one truck! We call it a "store-in-a-box". After you sign your lease and the exact layout of your store is finalized, the entire contents of your store, including store fixtures and marketing materials, shipped to you allowing you more time to market your business. This unique approach to store build-out helps keep your costs low while helping to get you open quickly.
Store Support
You won't need any previous eBay or business experience to open an iSold It store. We employ a team of drop-off store experts providing you with a comprehensive initial training program and ongoing operations & marketing support.
Advertising & Public Relations
While our backbone is technology, our foundation is built on aggressive marketing programs to build our brand. iSold It backs up its franchise network with a large library of "ready-to-use" marketing materials including direct mail pieces, hand-out flyers, coupons, ad slicks, radio commercials, billboards and outbound emails. In addition, we employ an ad agency and a public relations firm to create and support many great marketing opportunities to build our company.
Seller cheque Processing
Designed to help keep your store operations simple. Seller cheques are centrally processed & mailed, putting up to 10 items on each cheque -- lowering your costs by shifting labour out of your store and gaining access to valuable bulk mail rates -- leaving you free to focus on running your business. And, obviously, all funds remain in your bank account until the cheques are issued.
National Corporate Accounts
Currently in development, a corporate accounts program built around the nationwide iSold It network, providing national and regional accounts with pre-negotiated liquidation, reverse logistics and e-commerce programs.
Low Cost Operation
Our store investment is designed to be low. It costs as little as $100,000 for a fully operational store, plus working capital. Enjoy a unique business with no cash registers or receivables and your inventory is provided by your customers. So your day-to-day expenses are predominately store rent, labour & marketing.
Financing Assistance
We will be able to recommend finance agents and banks who are familiar with the iSold It business.
Revenue and Profit Streams
Currently iSold It drop-off stores have four primary sources to collect items for sale online:
- Neighbourhood households & drop-ins
