Leafing through the June West End Guide we came across an article about an interesting new business in Georgetown. Opened by two 23-year-old school buddies Toby Moore and Justin Lesher, eSpot is an eBay listing and sales service. For 30% of the first $500 of the sale amount and 20% of anything higher the duo will photograph your item, list it on eBay, and mail you a check when it sells. They only accept items they expect to bring in $100 or more, which the West End Guide estimates would result in $62 for the seller after fees.

The two told the West End Guide that the “numbers looked good” in their business plan so they were emboldened to sign a three year lease on the storefront at 1010 Wisconsin Avenue. Although we’ve heard of eBay reselling outfits elsewhere, we don’t know of any other stores that exclusively sell on eBay in D.C. We always like to see new businesses with a creative idea, and wish them luck!
