Description

A passion for the mystery and intrigue surrounding ancient civilizations, worlds and people was the catalyst for this dropship ecommerce business. The company’s main product categories include Jewelry, Apparel, Home Décor, Drinkware, Artwork and Accessories with themes of various early civilizations.

This is only for its best selling SKU’s. The company also keeps about $2-3K of inventory with Amazon FBA. The total current inventory value is approx. $29k.
