New Retail Arbitrage Video

[garagesaleaddict]

Hey everyone!
Has anyone here ever tried retail arbitrage?
This is when you buy items at your local stores like Walmart and sell them online.
I just posted a video on my blog about it.


Here is the video as well

I'm to fuddy-duddy to shop and sell that way. I'll just run up to Walmart to see what they have, never to look for resale items, as I like killing time and maybe slip in to a thrift store on the way. I did have a buddy tell me though, he's bought gold jewelry out of a Walmart and sold it for more on eBay. I've never tried it, but I have more then a few times sold common gold jewelry more then a bit over scrap and value.

This video is just talking about one of the possibilities of reselling online.
It is better to look for clearance items in order to make a nice profit.
When doing retail arbitrage, most sell on amazon and use FBA so they dont have to use their own storage space.

I know that people are doing it with .22 caliber shells, the boxes with 500 in it. I havn't been able to get one for over a year, I asked the clerk and he said that the same people line up an hour before they get put out for sale on the one day of the week that they come in. This is at the local Walmart.

The latest sneaker is another example of this. People line up dozens deep when a new basketball sneaker gets released, they buy as many pairs as they can and sell them online for crazy prices.

We had a sneaker convention in H-Town. On the news, they showed guys lined up for blocks with about 10 boxes each of sneakers, waiting to get in. There was enough bling in that line to make even a convenience store owner weep.

 

[garagesaleaddict]

Yeah. I have heard about that!
Some people show up late at the local walmart to get the new sales that are just being changed.
I once got 3 Christmas Razor Packages for $5 each and resold them online for 20.
Just gotta keep your eyes out for the sales.

I used to do this big time at Target stores before the economy tanked and EVERYBODY and their mother started hitting Target's end caps! In fact, that led me to Goodwill stores after I asked where did all the final clearance stuff end up. I would wait for certain clearance items(electronics) to disappear from Target, then a couple days later, I'd hit up the Goodwill and then buy them even cheaper for resell. Economy tanked and Goodwill AND Target got hip to the valued clearance and both raised their prices and Target advertises their clearance stuff a lot more. But you can still get lucky and find a clearance priced LEGO set to resell for profit.

 

[garagesaleaddict]

Yeah. I recently checked out the LEGO sets in my local Walmart, but I didn't find anything.
These are highly collectible and in great demand = HIGH PRICES

Well this post does have me thinking over a few possibilities to try out.

 

[garagesaleaddict]

After you try them out, you should let us know.
Retail Arbitrage works really well when it is a change of seasons like right after Christmas when everything goes on sale.
