Why We Picked This

This ecommerce listing reports $998/mo revenue equaling 100% profit margin ($998/mo profit), which presents a significant red flag requiring immediate verification. A 1.66x multiple on claimed annual profit ($11,976) is nominally attractive, but the implausible 100% margin—no COGS, labor, hosting, or fulfillment costs on a physical product business—makes the financial claim unreliable without supporting documentation. The three-year age and organic traffic claim are positive signals, but the available evidence does not credibly support the profit figure as stated.

👍

Strengths

  • Verified listing on Flippa with 88% data quality score

  • Attractive nominal multiple of 1.66x if profit claim is accurate
🔎

Details to confirm

  • 100% profit margin on a physical product is implausible and requires immediate verification with bank statements, P&L, and cost breakdown to confirm COGS, fulfillment, and operating expenses
  • Confirm monthly revenue and profit consistency over the past 12 months to validate the stated $998/mo figure and rule out seasonal volatility or recent anomalies
  • Request detailed cost structure: product cost per unit, fulfillment/shipping expense, platform fees, labor, and payment processing to explain the claimed margin
  • Listing date is unavailable; confirm when this business was listed and whether financials reflect the most recent 30 days or an older period

Asking price
$19.9K

The asking price of $19,882 cannot justify acquisition when the claimed profit ($998/mo, $11,976/year) is unverified and financially implausible for a physical product business. A solo founder could build an equivalent ecommerce storefront using Shopify, WordPress + WooCommerce, or Printful/Printnode dropshipping integrations (total cost $800–$3,500 for MVP + first three months hosting and domain) in 6–8 weeks without inheriting unvalidated financials. The real value—organic traffic, established SEO, customer list, and proven demand—cannot be confirmed from the available listing data. Until the seller provides auditable proof of revenue and expense (bank deposits, cost receipts, customer records), the acquisition risk far exceeds the software and initial infrastructure cost of building independently.

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.
