At first glance it does look like they're selling the business. Wonky! (nt), posted on May 20, 2017 at 06:24:37

The place actually exists and looks like the picture. A business with 5 employees that is for sale for 30k has some seriously thin margins.

This is a very nice high end store with a full service department that has been in business for 40 years. The ad is an attempt of being creative to get attention, it seems to be working. If it where truly for sale, one would need to add a few more zeros to the asking price.

Even then who knows how profitable these mega dealers are and how much of that profit is because of the personality of the owner.
