    These videos click so much more for me now that I have actually done some retail arbitrage buying and selling. Will definitely start using those other tools, like Keepa. It's interesting to see how and why the prices fluctuate. I had started buying items to resell right before the coronavirus shut almost all the stores down. I ended up just sitting on about $150 dollars of inventory for 5 months until things opened back up. Well three Shera toys that I bought for $6 each at Target went up to $100 each over those 5 months. I will probably make more profit on those three items than the rest of the stuff combined. I was shocked when the first one actually sold. Thank you for making these videos, I have watched other people who make videos on retail arbitrage, but I find yours the most informative and useful. I went ahead and bought your toy ungating guide, after only a couple days, I'm in the application process with the wholesaler. I so look forward to not keep seeing restricted on so many good finds. Thanks for making such helpful videos, btw your RV is so cute, I would love to try the RV/Retail arbitrage every summers when my kids out of school.

  • @MoverandShaker
    @MoverandShaker 3 года назад +2

    One thing I was shocked to hear from this particular video was that you said it doesn't always tell you that you're restricted and you find out later after the fact and may get shut down. I really don't like that the merchant has to suffer because Amazon isn't up-to-date but I'm glad you made us aware of that probability or possibility.

    Hi, first time watching one of your videos. I love the walmart tax tip, thanks! Quick question though, how are you able to sell on Amazon with this whole business of needing "invoices"? I always hear that store reciepts won't work. I cant seem to find any info on this. Thanks!

    • @NikkiKirk
      @NikkiKirk  5 лет назад +3

      axattackk You do need invoices for some things, like big name toys and beauty items. Other times you can get ungated to sell after a certain amount of time selling, some are at 6 months and some after a year. You can get invoices to get ungated sooner, I’m working on a training for beauty items to be out next week i hope that walks you through everything! If you want you can sign up for my newsletter for when it releases or stay tuned here

    Hey, thanks for the interesting video. I have a question, do you sell electronic products? I see there the problem with the manufacturer's warranty, according to Amazon's terms you are only allowed to sell products as new if the manufacturer's warranty is intact. Is this still intact if we buy the electronic product in a retail store as a reseller?
    And can the customer simply go to the manufacturer with our invoice and make use of the manufacturer's warranty?
    I hope you understand my issue :)
    Many greetings

    What facts do you take into consideration when buying a product in the store? So far I have learned to check the average rank and sale price for the past 90 days. But how Do I can easily see how many sellers and stock competitors have while I am on the store since extensions do not work on the go only on desktop. For instance, how many extension , or revseller extension.
    I want to go out and do my first shopping but got stock on analyzing the product while only being able to use my phone
    I would appreciate any advice :) please :)

My question is when and what item we need to prove it to Amazon? I thought we have to submit all the document every single time to sell on RA Amazon.

    • @nate_mccallister
      @nate_mccallister 4 года назад

      You need those to be ungated but not to prove authenticity. It goes more quickly if you have very good, itemized invoices but it isn't going to be impossible. Have seen it hundreds of times over the years and recently.
