A solo-run drop-shipping store selling trolling motors for boats, built by Andrew Youderian before he founded eCommerceFuel; sold for $170,000.
The $170,000 sale price puts it in the top quarter 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.
