Japanese online used-clothing store carrying about 50 items, with sourcing through shipping fully outsourced so it needed roughly 8 hours of owner work per month. Sold for JPY 2.16M (about $14.4K) just 4 days after listing on Rakko M&A.
Japanese Used-Clothing Store changed hands at a 0.6× profit multiple, below the 2.5× median of the 95 deals in this database that disclosed both price and profit. Multiples below the median usually point to risk the buyer priced in: churn, dependence on a single channel or a business that still needed its founder.
The $14,400 sale price puts it in the lower half of the 547 deals with a disclosed price here, where the median is $21,000. Most indie acquisitions cluster well under the headline numbers founders read about, which is exactly why a real distribution is more useful than an average.
This database tracks 104 E-commerce exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $149,000. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
