      I agree, it's not easy at all, and has become much harder now d/t changes in FBA and shipping increases etc. In fact it's pretty stressful and is comparable to a full time job. People like the rush.

    I had to come back to the beginning again. This video is where it all started for me. I never started feeding the monster but do well for myself on Ebay considering I still work full time to. I just had to come back and say thank you to you and your crew at that time for the encouraged. I don't believe I missed a single video or live of yours for the next year or so. I don't have as much time to watch these days as I used to. I think of Joni often for when I started watching she was going through treatments. It was obvious it was just as hard on you as it was her. I hope all of you are doing well.

It was fun and helped pay for the trip. Hope you'll keep posting more of your adventures!

    Those games were gold. I made over 6k in one day on them 2 weeks ago here in Denver Colorado. One store I got 32 in my cart and listed it right away. All were sold in 15 min before I even checked out of the store. 63$ each.

  • @johnmickey5897

    I'd say you made this look a lot easier than it really is. I also sold limited edition discontinued Littlest Pet Shop monopoly games worth more than this, that I had a large sealed quantity of, they took 4 months to sell, on top of that I had to cut the price to $20 lower than the lowest asking price than anyone else just to get mine to sell. Retail stuff is tricky to profit on, like this guy bought all of these right before they completely sold out online and made top dollar on each one sold and they all sold within 24 hours, that's almost unheard of. Most cases, you'd get home and find 10 other people beat you to it on Amazon and they are only making $10 profit after fees and shipping so u gotta go less to sell yours and it's not even worth it now. So they all get returned. In short. This guy did it very well. Any Beginners who want to start buying crazy amounts of a product at Walmart to get into this, don't expect these results until you know exactly what your doing.

      John Mickey - Great comment, thanks. I only heard about this game in this vid. If I go to my local Walmart tomorrow they probably won't have it. Of course, this guy shopped the week before Thanksgiving. I have an Amazon sellers account, but only listed one item a year ago. I do some re-selling on eBay. A quick buy and sell like this one is encouraging, but as you say, one needs to know what they're getting into.

      John Mickey - Truer words are rarely spoken. One thinks, shit I can do that, then reality sinks in and it turns out to be actual WORK! When I look at a business venture that I dream up or want to be involved in, before I do ANYTHING, I break it down into the individual steps it will take to actually DO IT. Ask yourself, do I really want to DO all the things that will make this venture successful. Break it down and look at it on a day to day basis and consider the extended amount of time it will take for YOU to make it successful. Ask yourself, am I really motivated and do I know enough about this to do something like this. Many people aren't, and if you do the above you'll have a much better idea as to whether YOU can money doing this, as it may turn out NOT to be nearly as glamorous or easy as you initially thought. Knowing beforehand WHAT you getting yourself into and not just throwing money into something, will in the end, save you from frustration and heartache! Done that, been there.

      He didn't reduce scarcity at all, he's reselling them not burning them. Sure he'd like a monopoly, every company would, but you're missing the bigger picture...there are other people who can and are doing the same thing, the definition of competition. Also this is probably one of the few times it's worked out so well. He's not gonna make videos of the times he didn't make as much or lost money.

After the holidays I think I'm going to go binge watch all your videos and learn what I can. I would not have imagined there was enough price difference between what Walmart sells an item for and what you can get on Amazon to make doing this profitable but obviously there is enough for it to be worthwhile for you to do. And we are not competing since I am several states away from you. Mass sales of the same product seems far more efficient than selling one-offs like I presently do.

      If they allow the return. Resellers have always been a problem for retail stores even before flipping on Amazon became a thing. A lot of stores refuse dealer returns as most stores don't/can't just stick returned items back on the shelf so they end up losing money. So if the customer service clerk is trained properly if you come in with a receipt saying you bought 27 of them and you're returning 8 then they'll likely refuse the return.

When .22lr was in short supply we limited that, same with new video game consoles and certain Black Friday items. If it's something I can just order more of and it sells I'm cool with it, I let the crazy hot wheels collectors crack open my new shippers if they ask, as long as they don't make a mess or buy the whole thing and return all the ones that aren't special. Still have regular non collectors that buy them like crazy so if I can sell 300 a week I'm going to keep ordering mass quantities.

    In Australia, we had so many people targeting items of dependance like Baby Formula... and reselling for inflated prices so many people doing this, that it caused huge shortages and big problems for every child depending on getting baby formula...It is exploitation......BUT
    This guy is selling Games Like a boss👍🏼 Proving You can be ethical and still make money.

    Epic! And you didn't have to fight the Black Friday crowds. What kills me is that the media was running stories a couple of weeks ago about how Millenials were offended by the game, Hasbro was making fun of the demographic, the game was gonna be a flop, etc etc. Stupid me, I fell for the media hype and missed a great opportunity! Well done sir.

      Mike C. What aren't Millenials offended by? That's why they are known as the snowflake generation.

    What some don’t realize is this stuff also sometimes turns up at out of the way locations. Last year I bought a ton of computers on clearance for next to nothing at a bunch of rural Wal-Marts and threw them on Craigslist.

    After 5 years, I finally made a course to teach you how to find the deals that I find. Here is a link: scottt-zilke.mykajabi.com/pl/2147658743. All products that I use or mentioned in the video can be found in my Amazon Store. Here is an affiliate link (really helps the channel): www.amazon.com/shop/thebeardedpicker

      Simple supply and demand. Many people wanted to purchase this game for a Christmas present. The initial supply of the game wasn't big enough to meet the demand for them, so the price goes up. Many people are willing to pay 4X the Walmart price when the demand is high, and supply is low. This isn't a product that is a necessity, like food, medicine, water, etc. so there is nothing unethical about buying up as many as possible for resale. Eventually stores will get more of these, and the price will go back down once the supply is high enough to meet the demand. If you don't want to pay 4X the cost, then just wait until the supply increases. Some people would rather pay the premium to get it right away. It's $25.43 on Amazon now.

      I've seen people buy discontinued hair products for over $100. on eBay, all day long. If people want something bad enough they'll get it.
