Overview
Many years ago I observed my Dad running the singing valentine operations for his Barbershop chorus. He was telling me about the complexities of running "Valentine Central". I understand and appreciate barbershop singing and what a great thing singing valentines are! And with my experience in web development, I quickly realized that online ordering and a web application could greatly improve his "Valentine Central" operations. The ordering process, method of payment, management of the orders, making order assignments to the quartets, tracking of payments and reporting at the end, I knew that could all be done more efficiently and effectively through a web application.
So after many years of testing and development, my web application became a reality. It has now been in operation for over 10 years with many happy customers. Many that have been with me for many years! Just focusing some marketing on the 700+ Barbershop Harmony Society choruses (https://www.barbershop.org) in the US, could expand the business. Also further developing and expanding the ticketing component is another opportunity. .
I am working toward being fully retired from all my businesses (large & small), that is the reason for selling.

Asking Price Reasoning
I'm asking 2.5 X last year's revenue. I'm not asking much, as I'm more interested in finding a buyer who has the ability and intent to continue development and take care of my current customers. The site isn't based on traffic, so I uploaded the MySQL DB.
