Built a turnkey metal wall art Shopify store (0 inventory, ~52% margins), but Christmas rush leaves me no time—should I sell it or hold?

I won't promote or link anything, just looking for a genuine opinions. Let me give you a quick backstory: I've been in dropshipping for over 10 years and actually supply a lot of sellers on Etsy, Amazon, and Shopify. I started building this side project a while back—a fully customized dropshipping website for metal wall art. I just took the password off less than 24 hours ago so it can start getting indexed, but I haven't set up any social media or linked it anywhere yet. The theme is dialed in exactly how it needs to be for this model, and I've already added 10 to 15 products with all categories, custom product pages, and branding completely set up. I ironed out every single design and theme problem, so literally all that's left to do is upload more products, run ads, and handle social media.
The problem is that the Christmas season gets completely hectic for us, easily turning into 16-to-18-hour workdays, and I realized I just won't have the bandwidth to give this store the attention it needs. Because of that, selling it feels like the best move right now, especially with the holiday shopping season coming up—it's a massive head start for anyone wanting to jump into dropshipping. Pricing is already set up with a clean 52 percent profit margin built in, giving plenty of room for advertising. Plus, since I'm literally the supplier, I can guarantee a smooth workflow on the sourcing side, and I'm even happy to teach the buyer how to generate hundreds or thousands of products using AI and basic design tools.
So here is my question: What is something like this actually worth? Does it even have any value with zero sales so far, or should I just sell it now versus letting it sit as a neglected project until after Christmas? Appreciate any advice in advance.

Brand new dropshipping website, ready to launch

Before y’all start talking shit, let me clarify, i didn’t work on this project to sell it later. I realized that it is gonna take too much of my time in busy Christmas season and I dont want it to go waste.
It is a customized shopify store, linked to manufacturer, selling customized metal wall art. Not linked to any social media yet, literally password removed an hour ago. I have added some products, checked every single flaws and fixed them. It is ready to take orders. Good thing is 0 inventory required. About %52 profit margin calculated. Well thought branding. I will also help with how to create products (no you won’t need sample or so). You can create hundreds and thousands of products with ai and basic design software and take orders. Great way to start with shopify and expand to etsy and amazon handmade. As i mentioned, this was my personal project for myself so, everything is done as it is supposed to be. I am doing dropshipping for over 10 years now.

I haven’t really set a price yet. Pm for more details. Tia

Bullet points and generic keywords

I have seen that some people use all 10 bulletpoints and all 5 generic keyword lines while others sticking with 250 byte for keywords and 1000 bytes for bulletpoints. Which one works better for you? Tia

There is nothing we can do right?

This is very frustrating. This pos doesn’t have a single bad thing to say about the product, yet gives 3 stars for shits and giggles. It is a new launch and he singlehandedly ruined it already. What is wrong with these people?

Helium10 resubscription and analyze issue

I want to give a heads up to those signing up, resubscripting to the service. I wanted to reactivate paid plan so i could update the titles and stuff for my listing until 27th. Yes, i was aware that there will be analyzing of listings, for an hour or two, which was fine. It is still analyzing since yesterday and i was told by the support that it will take up to 48 hours (it is literally going to be end of 26th by then). I usually dont mind this kind of stuff but it annoyed me. I read everything i found during subscription and nowhere it tells that it will take that long for API to work or analyzing part will. The problem is the overpriced service they are offering and literally 2 day of it is eaten by their system. Supports attitude is “it is what it is”.
