Buy abandoned Chrome extensions and add paid tiers: $2,000 in total revenue claim

Plausible playbook, but the bought extension is unnamed and “2K+ revenue” is ambiguous.

The claim

"I bought a Chrome extension abandoned for 3 years and turned it into a 2K+ revenue SaaS in several months. Now I'm repeating it: 36 owners contacted, 2 early replies—both want offers. Before pricing: verify active users, MRR and costs—not public install counts."

Red flags

Can't be verified Mixed metrics Source not named

Can a solo dev do this?

Startup cost (Medium) Acquisition price varies (hundreds to thousands of USD).
Skills (Medium) Maintain legacy extension code and add monetization.
Acquisition existing extension users · Chrome Web Store search
Payments Stripe · Merchant of record (Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Creem…). Extension subscriptions via ExtensionPay, Stripe, or a merchant of record.
Solo fit (Good fit) Buying distribution fits extension skills; watch store transfer fraud and inflated installs.
How we scored (credibility 46, feasibility 60)
  • Revenue evidence 2/5

    Self-reported “2K+ revenue” with unclear period; acquired extension unnamed.

  • Product live 2/5

    Author’s Twillot extension is live; the acquired extension cannot be located.

  • Demand signal 3/5

    Low X volume (~31 posts/7d) but TrustMRR deals exist.

  • Author credibility 3/5

    Established account promoting own extension; inconsistent MRR claims in replies.

  • Replicability 3/5

    Requires negotiation and code takeover.

  • Solo feasibility 3/5

    Extension subscription billing (ExtensionPay/Stripe/MoR) plus negotiating transfers and maintaining legacy code.

  • Timing & competition 3/5

    Not yet a crowded acquisition lane.
