Hot Listing
Vertically Integrated Retro Gaming Platform | Proprietary ERP
Business Description
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.

FACILITY: Owned 20,008 sq ft mixed-use commercial property in Fleetwood, PA (included in sale), housing warehouse, refurbishment, testing/QA, and shipping operations. Real estate conveys with the business.
KEY ASSETS INCLUDED:
• Proprietary in-house ERP platform (100% owned) — runs inventory, fulfillment, QA, marketplace integrations, CRM, and analytics across all channels
• Two established consumer brands with full marketplace history
• 10,000+ active SKU catalog with proprietary product photography and listing assets
• Established marketplace accounts and seller standing (Walmart Top Seller status)
• Warehouse fixtures, shelving, testing and repair equipment, and shipping infrastructure
• Documented SOPs and trained operational teams across all functions
• International shipping and sourcing relationships - Market Outlook / Competition
- Retro gaming sits on durable demand: nostalgia, collectibility, and growing scarcity of original hardware, with younger buyers entering every year and rising preference for authenticated, warrantied product over unverified secondhand listings.
The market is large but highly fragmented, dominated by individual resellers working single channels with no standardized authentication, warranties, or professional infrastructure. This business sits well above that field, with advantages that are hard to replicate: a proprietary, fully owned ERP running multi-channel operations in real time; in-house refurbishment, testing, and authentication at scale; two established brands with years of marketplace history; a 10,000+ SKU catalog with proprietary listing assets; and warranty-backed products most competitors can't offer. Walmart Top Seller status plus multi-channel distribution and international shipping create a real moat in a category with significant runway. - Opportunities for Growth
- Multiple clear growth levers for new ownership. Marketplace channels are still ramping, with room to scale on emerging platforms like Temu (live only since early 2026 and already accelerating). A proprietary consumer hardware product is in active launch, opening a higher-margin product line beyond resale. International shipping is already live to several countries and underpenetrated. Amazon presents upside through reinstatement under a new owner's entity. Beyond that: deeper direct-to-consumer marketing, catalog and SKU expansion, broader sourcing relationships, and bringing additional categories onto the existing ERP and fulfillment infrastructure. A buyer with capital, marketplace expertise, or fulfillment capacity could accelerate any of these without rebuilding the operational base, which is already in place and documented.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- The owner is pursuing other personal and business ventures after building the co
- Transition Support
- The seller is committed to a smooth, complete handover. A structured transition period is included, with the owner available to support the buyer for up to 12–24 months post-close to transfer relationships, systems knowledge, supplier and marketplace contacts, and day-to-day operational know-how.
The business runs on documented standard operating procedures and a proprietary ERP that centralizes operations, which significantly shortens the learning curve for new ownership. Operational teams across all functions are experienced and in place, and the seller will work with the buyer to ensure continuity of the offshore and warehouse teams through the transition.
Training can be structured full-time initially, tapering to advisory/remote support as the buyer builds their own operating rhythm. - Financing Options
- Negotiable for the right buyer
