    I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one czcams.com/users/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!

    He buys in BULK. He’s not reselling clearance items off the shelf. No way. That’s just how he STARTED. He’s buying pallets at pallet auctions so the guy really didn’t give away all his secrets.

      Trevor D search google for the name of a store with the words “pallet auction”. Popular ones are Home Depot and target pallet auctions. Most big box stores sell off pallets of overstock for cheap. Problem is some pallets may be in another state so transportation is expensive.

    I use to do that with eBay and made about $2k a month buying and selling used items through thrift stores. You can buy a stroller for $15 and sell it to consignment for $40. Or antiques for $7 and sell online for $250. You just have to research, be good at marketing, take photos and be able to store/clean/ship the items. Things sell while you are going about your day. It really helped supplement my income being a stay at home mom and putting my kids thru private school. It's hard work though, physically demanding and not alot of respect from others was the downfall. But time with my kids and not working away from them made up for it!!

  • @BroccoliBeefed

    There is a minimum amazon fee of about $4 for FBA and it costs money to ship it to them AND to store it at their facility. So a $4 product that sells for $10 will not make you any money. On top of that, people also return about 15% of purchases on Amazon.Retail arbitrage does work but it's a very calculated business. You can't just buy any clearance item and expect to make money just because it costs more on Amazon.

  • @songsan807
    @songsan807 Před 6 lety +1

    I sell at Amazon for many years and there are a few things they did not mention. 1st is that Amazon fee is up to 30% of Product selling price depending on the item category. 2nd is that the shipping might cost you more than what you get. The heavy tire chains might cost $20 to ship but you only got $3.99 from Amazon to ship it. 3rd is the time to look for the item, checkout, package and ship the items out. 4) If going this route with such slim profit margin, each return is going to eat up more than the profit of 10 sales.
    You can still make money but have to buy and selling things with a higher profit margin with things you know like in garage sales. Got games for $.50 that sold for $40+, $.25 hard drives that solve for $50+. Don't buy something that you don't know and good luck.

    You can't even sell on Amazon through FBA during the 4th quarter unless you're an established seller. The majority of items new sellers scan will be gated or against ToS to sell as new. (You can't sell Belkin, Netgear etc as new without facing their legal team) You can't sell Disney, Lego, Nike, health and beauty, grocery, clothing and the list goes on. It is not as simple as this video makes it out to be. Last i checked to sell Nike you have to pay an upfront fee of THOUSANDS of dollars just to become partnered to sell their product. It's not impossible but it has become much harder to enter the scene due to Amazon restricting new sellers more every year.

    Journalism is so pathetic these days. She didn't even mention the FBA fees on that first item. They clearly don't know many of the basic things about flipping and she hasn't made any money if she still has the items with her in the studio. She would have to sign up for an Amazon FBA account and send the items....then wait likely months for the stuff to sell. People are catching on and Goodwills and thrift stores are being cleaned out by resellers daily. Now there's gonna be even more people to compete with.

    @wildwestunlimited Před 6 lety +9

    Ya, I did this for about a year and a half, I made about $4000 in profit. It's called Amazon FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) You ship your items to MANY different warehouses all over the USA that Amazon owns and they take care of all the shipping TO the customer, customer service and returns. It's not nearly as EASY as they make it look.Factor in;
    -- Gas money for searching (If you don't have a fuel efficient vehicle, FORGET this right now!)
    -- Vehicle maintenance / oil and filter changes (it's negligible, but it still costs)
    -- Taxes (Ya, more like TAXES!!)
    -- Amazon Fees (Amazon ALWAYS has their hand out wanting MORE money in the form of FEES!!!)
    -- Amazon Storage (Amazon charges a STORAGE fee even if it's been there for just a month on EACH item!)
    -- Shipping (Even though you get Amazon shipping rates, which are the least expensive ANYWHERE, it still is taking away from your profits)
    -- Shipping supply's (Yes you can ship in already used boxes, but where are you going to get all the tape, bubble wrap and shipping labels? This costs $$)
    One thing to know also, Amazon doesn't just allow you to sell ANYTHING right from the start. Nooooo, you gotta prove yourself for quite some time if you want to sell like, clothes, performance vehicle parts and thousands of other things!!
    Is this impossible? Nope, it CAN be done but the above is MY personal experience.
    Trust me, Amazon is doing this for THEIR benefit, NOT YOURS!!
    If you sell them something and the customer just "Claims" that it's fake, you're FINISHED. They will CLOSE your account and send you back ALL your stuff and YOU pay to get it all sent back to you!! (This has never happened to me, I just know the rules)
    My 2 cents, stick to being a customer, they love you then!

    I've listed my cookbooks and magazines (brand new) that I don't want to clog up my apartment, on Amazon for many months now, and I had managed to sell only a few items. Amazon charges very high listing, commission fees etc, yet it puts a limit on how much shipping I can charge... Even though I didn't take into account on how much I paid for my books when I bought them brand new, I still didn't make money after the Amazon fees and shipping. I can't imagine shipping to Amazon all my books and magazines that I want to get rid of and having to pay them the rent for storing and the extra processing fees when they sell. So I'm still chained to my cubicle job as of now.

    Few points: If you buy in bulk, you risk no selling it and it ends up in your basement. If you buy large quality items, you need to sore them, so you need a warehouse to store, that costs mega money. If you use fulfillment by Amazon, you have to ship your inventory to Amazon, which costs money to ship, then Amazon charges you storage fees for storing the inventory, and the fees continue if you don't sell the item. Amazon also charges you commission for any sales made on the Amazon marketplace. Amazon also charges you a monthly prime membership. What about the employees you need in your warehouse to handle the logistics. What about the employee cost of going to wall marts and finding cheap items to sell......

    Revenue =/= Profit Not only that but if you try retail arbitrage with items that're protected(aka you need to be an authorized reseller of them from the manufacturer) all it takes is ONE fake/counterfeit claim from a buyer to trigger Amazon and possibly the item manufacturer to completely destroy you. Easiest way around that is to sell those items USED but put 'factory sealed' or 'new' in the item description. Between that and the fact that the Amazon phone/net reps seem to love to open ridiculous A-Z and/or return claims for the most absurd returns and that they'll ding your account if you don't at least acknowledge them, reselling on Amazon is NOT the way to Easy Street like this guy may want you to believe.
    An example of a ridiculous return request I've seen mentioned on Amazon's seller forums: a lady who ordered a circular tablecloth from a listing for a circular tablecloth but who expected it to magically be the square/rectangular tablecloth she actually wanted. Then there was somebody trying to send back a worn out pair of running shoes after something like 4 years. Even if you sell items during the Christmas season when the return period extends into January sometime you shouldn't have to be abused by ridiculous requests like the ones above. Yet many resellers on Amazon will refund such ridiculous requests rather than face fighting an A-Z claim or in some cases having the rep(s) handling the requests for these customers do it for them by force. So again, enjoy attempting to resell on Amazon by following this guy's model. Just don't be surprised when you run into customers who are still brainwashed into thinking 'the customer is ALWAYS right' because they're NOT always right.

    • @CheapestGamer
      @CheapestGamer Před 6 lety +7

      The thing is how do you know you're going to even get the item(s) back? Some 'customers' are just looking for free or nearly free items by filing BS claims against sellers. Thing is, many sellers have that same attitude that you do of 'give them their money back and resell the item again'. But all that does is train them to expect everybody to do it EVERY TIME. Yeah. Not happening. You can call me petty if you want, but I got into the reselling hustle to MAKE money not give stuff away to people wanting something for nothing.

    It is better to make a new product and then sell that. It might cost you $200 to make a prototype (thinking small toy here). $5,000 - $10,000 for a decent supply and $2,000 in freight and import costs. But you create at a landed cost of $1.75 and sell at retail for $15. There are higher risks and rewards with this method though.
    Estimated Gross: $42,857 - $85,714
    Estimated Net: $30,857 - $73,714

    I've done this for a while. Made a decent buck out of it. You need to be savvy about prices and understand trends, especially that any large-scale clearance will likely have a temporary glut of supply in the reselling market. Once you have an inventory system in place and a keen sense on when and what to acquire, you really can do this as a full time business. It's not easy, and you're not really a productive member of society (essentially taking advantage of inefficient buying tactics by large retail companies), but great in a pinch.
    If you're going to be a reseller as a career, best to start looking into wholesellers and bulk shipments, possibly import/export and rebranding products.

    *See what they don't tell you is sales rankings on products. You can buy them for cheap but if their sales ranking on amazon suck then you wont sell any or only sell a little. And if you're doing FBA, those items with low sales rankings will sit on a shelf and you'll be paying monthly for cubic feet of space you're using*

  • @kimkartrashianstopmakingst9060

    Remember though people- SHIPPING costs as well. So you buy the toy to sell for 4$, and IF it does sell,you sell it for 9.50. Spend 3$ to ship. There’s not much profit. And the profit you do make w8l be spent in gas to get to the post office. It is a great idea. I sell online myself, but you have to see if it is worth it to sell certain things

      It's not pretty stupid to tell everyone. There are people that share business knowledge all the time. What he's sharing is no different, and in fact it pales in comparison. He is making the money he makes due to his organizational skills and not everyone has or will take the time to learn thorough skills. You can't make a living selling clearance items anyways, that's just how he started.

    Okay, did this for 3 years. It has nothing to do with work. The problem is that Amazon constantly changes the rules and their storage fees and seller fees will take most of your profit. Yes, you can make some money but to infer that "millions" can be made by your average person doing a stroll through WalMart/Target is ludicrous.
