How many salaries have to be paid out of that. Graphic designers? Shippers? Customer Service? How about the owner?

How many auctions do they run each year four? That's a GROSS profit of $65,000 That's not a business, that's a hobby. Out of that comes ALL the aforementioned expenses before any profit is made.
Don't forget, after the expenses are deducted from the $65K, you will need to pay both the employers and the employees share of Social Security and Medicare, which is around 15%, plus 15% or more in Federal taxes, plus, some state taxes, which in Wisconsin, could be around 5%.
