This eCommerce and FBA operation generates $11.6K/mo revenue with exceptional 79% profit margins and a 3.1x annual profit multiple—well-positioned for a bootstrapped, asset-light business. Four-year operating history, verified financials, trademarked brand, and strong organic/social acquisition provide real traction. Primary risk is concentration (85% via Shopify) and unverified claims about viral social content driving CAC efficiency; buyer must validate repeat-purchase rate, churn, and Amazon FBA contribution independently.
Building a comparable Shopify + Amazon FBA eCommerce operation from scratch costs $8–22K (Shopify setup, inventory management tools, Amazon seller account prep, basic product data feeds, review/rating integrations) and 10 weeks of founder time. However, the real acquisition value is not the software—it is the verified $9.2K/mo profit, four-year customer base, established supplier relationships, trademarked brand, organic social media following, and SEO/marketplace credibility. Recreating that distribution and customer trust organically would take 18–24 months and substantial marketing spend. The 3.1x profit multiple is reasonable for a capital-light, cash-flowing eCommerce business with verified traction and brand equity. Primary uncertainty is whether the social-media-driven CAC efficiency and repeat-purchase economics are durable; if churn is high or the viral moment has peaked, valuation risk rises. Recommend independent validation of last 12 months' MRR stability, customer cohort retention, and Amazon FBA contribution before closing.
Cash estimate includes the AI tools, APIs and infrastructure needed for a solo founder to recreate the software. Build time is informational and lightly weighted. The verdict is driven mainly by customers, users, verified earnings, retention, distribution, brand, data and operating history.
This listing is for an eCommerce and Amazon FBA business operating in the Home, Hobbies, Art, and Pets niches. The trademarked brand serves both direct-to-consumer and B2B customers with a range of nature-inspired décor products and miniature ecosystems designed for terrariums, aquariums, and other indoor display environments. The catalog combines botanical and natural materials, decorative elements, educational resources, and specialty accessories that appeal to hobbyists, collectors, and consumers seeking to bring living natural displays into their homes and workplaces. The business benefits from exceptional unit economics, with profit margins exceeding 50% driven by a strong supplier relationship, while continuing to achieve healthy revenue growth through repeat purchases and substantial organic customer acquisition generated by viral social media content. The business generates approximately 85% of sales through its Shopify storefront, serving a mix of direct-to-consumer and B2B customers, with the latter driven in part through the Shopify Collective ecosystem and representing a meaningful growth opportunity. The remaining sales come from Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop, and eBay. Products are sourced directly from a supplier in China, with inventory stored in the United States and shipped to end customers from a local warehouse. The Seller dedicates approximately 10 to 15 hours per week to overseeing inventory management, customer support, and fulfillment operations. The business is supported by two part-time team members: one manages supplier coordination and logistics from China, while the other handles warehouse operations in New York. This represents an attractive opportunity for Buyers seeking a differentiated brand with strong margins, diversified sales channels, significant organic traffic, and clear opportunities for expansion across both wholesale and direct-to-consumer markets. Disclaimers: Inventory is not normally included in the list price, further details can be provided to Unlockers. The legal entity section of the Seller Central account is currently locked to the United States, meaning a buyer would need a legal entity in this country for a quick transfer. Alternatively, it is possible to unlock this section, and doing so could delay the migration process. If the legal entity section cannot be unlocked, the buyer reserves the right to reverse the deal. This business includes an eBay account as part of its assets. eBay forbids account transfers as part of their Terms of Service. While we can attempt to transfer the account, as the buyer, you assume all the risk during the account transfer and may not renegotiate, reverse, or otherwise amend deal terms as a result of an eBay account closure or other penalty from eBay. To transfer an eBay account, a buyer will also need to make a bank account in the same country as that of the eBay account and will need to continue to be paid in the currency of said country for the foreseeable future. Owner works ~15 hours/week. Reason for sale: The Seller would like to explore other opportunities. Growth opportunities: Expanding wholesale outreach to specialty retailers.; Sourcing complementary products from China to increase add-on sales with existing wholesale clients
