Six years ago this wasn't a business. It was a hobby, old games and consoles. Last year it did $14.5 million. It started with collecting, then turned into buying and flipping consoles. The founder realized he could make more selling them than he paid, went bigger, pulling whole lots off eBay, refurbishing the units himself, then reselling. After college he went all in. Built the website, stood up the warehouses, hired and trained teams across multiple countries. The company built its own software. The whole operation runs on a proprietary ERP they wrote in house and own outright. Inventory, fulfillment, quality control, marketplace integrations, support, every channel and every warehouse, all in real time. Most businesses like this are frankensteining a bunch of tools together. This one built its own backbone, and it's a big reason it runs as clean as it does at this size. It also sells where most people can't. Two established brands, 12 marketplace channels, Walmart Pro Seller status, plus special authorization from Walmart to sell restored and refurbished product. Most sellers can't get that, and in a business built on refurbished goods it's a real moat. The refurbishment is the heart of it, and it's all done in house by a trained team built up over years, with deep hands-on knowledge of these consoles, handling everything across more than 10,000 products spanning Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, Atari and handhelds. This isn't something you can stand up overnight. It's years of accumulated expertise in sourcing, testing, repairing and grading vintage hardware. Every unit carries a one year warranty, with a two year option for an upcharge. It runs real international operations. Three warehouses across multiple countries handle procurement, refurbishment and fulfillment, all included in the sale. Shipping is already live to multiple countries. And it owns its customers on the branded side. More than 150,000 customers across the two branded websites, with full contact details for direct remarketing. That's separate from the marketplace channels, and about 10% come back to order again. The direct marketing barely scratches what's possible with a list like that. What you're really buying isn't just an ecommerce website. You're buying a well oiled machine. The ERP, both brands and all 12 marketplace accounts, the three warehouses, the full catalog and product photography, customer lists, internal SOPs and operating records, software tools and configurations, supplier relationships, and live international shipping. And the upside is barely touched. A new sales channel went live in early 2026 and cleared $250,000 in its first few months, with the same playbook still to run on the others. There's a proprietary hardware line in active launch opening a higher margin category that isn't in the numbers yet. The direct-to-consumer side has hardly been marketed. International shipping is live but barely pushed. And the whole category keeps heating up. This is for a buyer who knows this world and has the means to scale what's already here. It isn't a fixer upper. It's a running, profitable business with the systems, the team, and the room to go a lot bigger. There is also some real estate available. The property can be acquired as part of the transaction or leased under a long term agreement. Inventory, roughly $2.35M at cost, is valued separately.

Turnkey LED retrofit and lighting integrator serving a roster of Class A institutional landlords, premier sports venues, and top facilities across the NYC market (one of the most demanding commercial real estate environments in the country). Regulatory tailwinds on commercial lighting compliance creates its own demand. This isn’t a volume shop chasing every job that comes through the door. The Company has spent years earning “preferred vendor” status with sophisticated property managers and GCs who need flawless, non-union execution inside fully occupied, design-sensitive buildings. This is one of only a handful of non-union electrical contractors granted access to some of these institutional portfolios at all. 2026 is shaping up well. The business is on pace for $1.5-2M in revenue. Two active opportunities exceeding $1M each came in purely through GC and project management relationships, not the anchor institutional account — the growth potential extends well beyond any top client. With real runway left untapped, the current owner is regularly turning away new work simply due to bandwidth and client selectivity, while spending part time hours a week keeping things running. A buyer with more time, capital, or a sales-focused hire, could meaningfully scale this without inventing a new strategy. What the business does: End-to-end LED retrofit and high-efficiency lighting conversions: audit, design, procurement, installation, and optimization Advanced lighting controls integration Ongoing project flow driven by energy code compliance and corporate ESG mandates, not one-off discretionary spend Remote/On-site, no electrical license/permit held by the business How it performs financially: 50%+ gross margins Lean, efficient operating structure Strong cash position with minimal debt Long-tenured client relationships, several spanning years, with high repeat/referral rates Building owners and facilities managers aren’t choosing whether to modernize lighting, they’re required to, between tightening energy codes and corporate sustainability mandates. That makes this demand structural, not cyclical. Even data centers built for AI workloads need compliant lighting infrastructure. This business is positioned directly in the path of that demand.

Imagine running a highly profitable smart monitoring business that practically runs itself while you focus on growth. This established ecommerce operation has been quietly generating $289K in seller's discretionary earnings by solving a problem every property owner faces - knowing what's happening when you're not there. You'll love how simple yet powerful this business model is. The company sells smart monitoring devices that watch for power outages, internet failures, water leaks, and temperature changes, then instantly alert customers via text and email. Think of it as peace of mind in a box for homeowners, rental property managers, and small businesses. What makes this opportunity special? You're getting a complete ecosystem, not just products. The hardware connects to a cloud-based platform that handles all the notifications and alerts. This means customers often buy multiple devices as they see the value, creating natural repeat sales and account expansion. The current owners have built something remarkable with minimal time investment. One handles purchasing cycles, the other manages customer support. That's it. No massive team, no expensive office space, no complex operations. You can run this from anywhere in the US with just a laptop and some storage space. Business Overview This company operates at the intersection of hardware and cloud services. Its products are purpose-built monitoring devices that watch for common failure or risk events and then trigger configurable alerts. Customers typically deploy these devices to help reduce downtime, avoid damage, and gain peace of mind when they are not on-site. The business benefits from a platform-style architecture: rather than being a single product, it is a system of devices supported by a unified notification layer. This enables broader applications and repeat purchasing as customers add devices across multiple locations and monitoring needs. Key functional categories include: • Power monitoring (detecting power status changes) • Internet connectivity monitoring (outage and restoration alerts) • Water detection and water level monitoring (presence/absence and threshold-based alerts) • Temperature monitoring (threshold-based alerts for sensitive environments) Alerts can be configured for different recipients and escalation needs, primarily through SMS/text and email, with optional integrations depending on user setup. Products & Offering The company sells a portfolio of monitoring devices spanning: • Standalone monitors dedicated to a single condition (e.g., connectivity or temperature) • Multi-condition devices that consolidate multiple monitoring functions into one unit • Accessory sensors and replacement components • Optional enhanced alerting bundles for higher-volume or multi-recipient notification requirements This mix supports both consumer/DTC use-cases (home, rentals, small offices) and light commercial use-cases (small facilities, storage environments, remote equipment rooms, etc.). Specific product catalog, supplier details, unit economics, and platform overview are available after NDA and Proof of Fund. Operations & Footprint (Lean / Owner-Light) The business is currently run with limited weekly owner involvement: One owner focuses primarily on purchasing/ordering cycles and administrative oversight-- estimated 4~6hours/week, while the other focuses on customer support and ensuring back-end continuity, estimated 10~12 hours/week. A buyer can operate with a small internal team or a combination of contractor support and part-time admin, and seller can provide tech support for $3000/month post-acquisition. The company can be relocated anywhere in the U.S. with a modest workspace. Ideal Buyer • E-commerce operator with strong digital marketing execution • Smart home / IoT entrepreneur • Strategic buyer in monitoring/security adjacent markets • Operator seeking a portable business with strong cash flow and marketing upside

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating electronic and electrical equipment manufacturing acquisitions.
Get revenue by customer and by program, and find out how sticky each one is. Contract electronics and custom electrical equipment are often designed into a customer's product, which makes the relationships durable but concentrated. A business priced near 4.0 times earnings is being valued on the assumption those programs continue.
Identify who holds the technical knowledge and whether it transfers. The ability to design, certify, and build to spec is what differentiates these shops, and it frequently sits with a small engineering team or the owner. With only about 7 percent of these sellers offering financing, secure the engineering talent through retention agreements and a genuine transition.
Stress-test the supply chain and the bill of materials for obsolescence. Electronics manufacturers depend on component availability, lead times, and parts that can go end-of-life. Review sourcing concentration, inventory exposure, and how the business handles last-time buys and redesigns.
Verify that certifications customers require actually transfer. Many customers will only buy from suppliers holding specific quality, safety, or industry certifications, and those approvals can require re-qualification under new ownership. Verify which certifications the business holds and whether a change of control triggers customer re-approval.
Inspect the test, assembly, and production equipment and verify what is owned. About 17 percent of these businesses own their real estate, and the productive equipment can be both valuable and specialized. Assess condition, remaining life, and any deferred capital expenditure.
Read gross margin as a signal of differentiation. A contract manufacturer competing purely on price runs thin margins and is vulnerable to underbidders, while one selling engineering and reliability holds margin and customer loyalty. Compare this business's margins to its revenue base of roughly 1.5M and ask what keeps customers from re-sourcing the work elsewhere.
