Virtual Varmints operated in early 1998,
when confidence in online transactions was yet to be established.

We took orders with a JavaScript-powered form (and by email), and shipped the merchandise C.O.D., so that payment was not due until delivery, which helped establish trust.

For a few months, until the vpet market fell apart,
VV's sales averaged $300/week.

Since many unususal vpets were available in the NYC wholesale market, VV provided a valuable resource to collectors around the world. Orders were shipped to Europe and Asia,
as well as all over the U.S.A.
