I work for Amazon as a Assistant Director of Sales. I thought for sure you just said that $2500 was your profit and wasnt going to include the listing fees and such. But that's crazy to me that the price was originally around $75 for that. Good flip
Enjoyed the video. Glad your hard work paid off. When we traveled over the holidays, we stopped at several Walmart stores along our route for a different item, listed them and had them all sold before we got home. It was fun and helped pay for the trip. Hope you'll keep posting more of your adventures!
We do this every year! Always find the hottest deal and best xmas gift. I remember in 2007 me and my mom picked up a bunch of Wii on sale at target and held on to a bunch until the day before xmas and people were buying them for $500 for their kids the next day. It was awesome. Learned a lot of supply and demand when I was 19.
no you dont have to its the same monopoly they have been making for decades just different design. oh no a game i don't need and probably would never play if i had it rose in price
lol @ people calling this "scalping" or "price gouging", it's literally just capitalism, it's not like he's selling food to the starving, no one *needs* a monopoly game, he's not forcing anyone to sell to him or buy from him, he's entered into voluntary contracts with walmart to buy the stuff, and voluntary contracts with ebay customers to sell the stuff.
@@chris2790 of course he's providing value, every one of his customers can pay a bit more and get a game delivered to their home address instead of having to spend all day travelling across half the country and trawling through 2 dozen supermarkets to find one. 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. Gonna just ignore the comparison to parasites and socialist dictators because we both know that's absurd.
The craziest thing is that he would get on RUclips and show millions of people what he's doing so a bunch more people want to run out and do it. He just created a bunch of competition for himself. People in it for the long haul try to keep things to themself. Good luck duplicating this as well in the future.

@@troller4jesus It's high risk but high return if you stay informed and work at it. My brother does similar stuff on the side. Makes a little more doing this than he does at his full time job. But you've got to have a mind for this type of work and the desire to stick with it.
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.
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.
@@JohnDoe-ld8nr Walmart doesn't require a receipt. Just bring one back and say I lost the receipt. If you are worried someone will remember you as the guy who bought 27 of them, just go back when that person isn't working.
Even if you dont get your money physically back from walmart.. they give you what you spent on a walmart gift card, which you can buy gas, food, and everyday/month household things..
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.
I know somebody who made a living selling Kirby vacuum cleaners. He was a multi million. He would wholesale buy a lot of Kirby vacuum cleaners fix them and sell them to Kirby vacuum cleaner stores. Throughout his 60 year career he grossed about 20 million dollars.
I did the same thing 30 years ago. I wish I made the same amount of money as he did. I did make a good living at it, but wow he made a killing... I must have been doing something wrong...lol
Nobody, this video is utter and complete bullshit. Game sells for as low as 12 buck on Amazon--plus you need to be approved to sell. Which required INVOICES NOT RECEIPTS.
Wow, lots of comments from people who have a problem with this. If it were milk or eggs I'd agree. But it's something nobody needs but chooses to buy for stupid money. He put a lot of work in so fair play.
I did 500 in 5 made 5 million profit omg it worked I never have to work again and can just make RUclips videos showing everyone how to do it it’s so easy you just go to stores and buy shit and post it on amazon that simple you don’t even have to scan anything just buy any 2 dollar item at Walmart and post it for 20 dollars on amazon there’s sooo many people who will buy it sooo easy
You just talked me into subscribing. The only picking I've ever done is picking thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales for antiques and collectibles. You are making me think about branching out.
@@BeardedPicker Yes I know but I think Amazon's set up might be more conducive to selling larger quantities of the same item. 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.
Just checked the Amazon website and these are selling for $19.82 now (June 2019). So you would NOT make any money selling these today. One thing not emphasized with this video is that timing is critical.
After figuring your labor(in hours) spent driving/buying, +hours spent packing and shipping, +the initial price of the game +tax, +Amazon fees, +gas +packing supplies(boxes,tape,bubble wrap,etc. are NOT free and do add up) You are NOT clearing as much as you think.
I drive to Mn. From Tx with about 3. 1/2 tanks of gas. About 80 dollars in gas. Even if he spent 200 on gas he still made a good profit. I guess you could also say the views on this video make up for the gas.
I was doing this years ago but ruptured 3 discs in my lower back jumping off a catwalk at work to put out a chemical fire. Probably saved many lives but me and the guy who put the fire out never got any credit. Anyway, I love videos like this. Even with a bad back I can do this. You inspire me to get back to business
Good for you , I like that you show it takes some footwork, mileage and time, cool that you can make some money off the millinials that only want to shop on the web.

Hey! I sourced the Walmart in Muscle Shoals earlier this year and I think Huntsville too. Great score! Unfortunately my life schedule did not allow me to chase these. Hopefully the next one...
Gotta hand it you sir, very well done. No other comments seem to mention the $6k made in ad revenue from the RUclips video?? Every 1000 views is worth about $3 in ad revenue.

I didn't account for fuel or meals because of tax issues. Gas was $75 but a $395 tax deduction. Meals were $15 but a $7.50 tax deduction. Also, didn't account for time since this is my full-time gig, and I am the only employee in my LLC. Thanks for watching!
@@BeardedPicker Yes, that was my question, personal/business expenses. I did this with books, cds, dvds for several years, my initial underlying profit being from buying library resale books and reselling on Amazon. Then I moved into new dvds (blockbuster movies) and then EBay lots of cds where I would list as they were in transit. I was running at about $50k part time while working FT but the margins on the amount of inventory I had to hold became more and more overwhelming. I eventually changed my business model to shift to digital inventory but I'm thinking about, or will eventually have to hold some physical inventory as a percentage of my overall inventory.
After he factors in how much time he spent on this, and given this is the absolute best case scenerio, it's not a job most people would want. Don't really think people appreciate how much work goes into "easy" money.
Daniel Hughes easy to get into, hard to do. The market pays you based on the value that you bring. Less value you can bring harder you have to work... super simple once broken down develop marketable skills and you wont N E E D to do this but vids like this weed out the people that say “i’m broke and there’s nothing i can do” THIS 😂
Wow! Well done! The prices have now dropped but you obviously knew what you were doing selling leading up to Christmas. Unbelievable people would pay that much. I guess busy professionals have the loot lol and no time to go shopping. But I'm impressed. Nice one 👍
Have you made a video describing how you identify the popular products ahead or how you determine what products are in high demand? I would love to hear your thoughts on if you've encountered products with a good margin but low demand. Thanks for the awesome videos.
I never heard of "Arbitrage Selling" but it seems to have been profitable for the Bearded Picker this time. I'm curious to learn more. Great little side-hustle. Good for you!
I live in Southern Illinois. There is a store in the next town over called Farm Fresh. I seen the owners of that Farm Fresh at Walmart purchasing multiple items for their store. They Jack the price up! $$$
I cannot believe in this day and age, with all the numerous advances in boardgaming mechanics, that a version of Monopoly is so sought after. Especially since most people have never even heard of the good board games. Lucky for you, though. Cool video.
I don't care about you buying a boardgame cheap and sell it expensive. But people who buys all the tickets possible for a concert just to sell them to a overprice that pisses me off!
Haha that's a good one but no a Metallica concert in Denmark is way overpriced in the first place but people who doesn't manage to buy them when the tickets are sold have to buy them at outrageous prices because they wanna see them play! I've always got my ticket but I think it's a shitty way to scam other people...
@@rasmuswellejus2809 wait you think that people "*have* to buy" tickets?! That's the difference right there! No one can force someone else into buying anything, that's illegal. In every other case, they're entering into a *voluntary* contract to buy the ticket. Just because you'd prefer the price to be lower doesn't mean it should. Literally the only thing that affects the price is supply/demand. Who benefits from price de/increases is completely arbitrary.
concert organizers deliberately underprice their tickets because the risk of an empty house means a poorer experience for the concert goers and could bode poorly for the artist's brand. the role that ticket scalpers play is complicated
How do you figure out what to sell for a decent profit? Also how do you know how much shipping would cost? Would it be easier to just ship to amazon and let them fulfill the order for you? I'm a newbie so please be gentle, lol.
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.
It’s all supply and demand. I picked up a pair of Amiga computer tower conversions for $10 at a surplus auction mainly for giggles. They were missing enough parts that I didn’t have the interest in building them back up to functional status, so I put them on eBay as-is, hoping to at least recover the money I spent. Was I floored when the closing bid was well over 300!
I went to a Home Depot store and bought a product that rung up at .01. Item sells at Wal Mart for $12.88 which was the lowest price I seen at a retail store. I bought the whole display ( 57 units left). A Home Depot worker asked if I was going to save some for other buyers. I said to her no! I'm not giving you the opportunity to call your family and friends to come buy the rest of them..lol. She said well I have to report this to manager lol. I stated go ahead please I have my receipt, and tell the manager I rigged the register as well..lol. Point of this story is there are great finds out there in these retail stores. This happened again at Wal-Mart but with a different product and this time the Wal -Mart rep mentioned it too me. So I grabbed them all! I'm not going too mention what the product is at either store. Don't need any competition for my self.
@@Steelmanwho Scalping, when used in reference to trading in securities, commodities and foreign exchange, may refer to a legitimate method of arbitrage of small price gaps created by the bid-ask spread. a fraudulent form of market manipulation. Flipping is a term used primarily in the United States to describe purchasing a revenue-generating asset and quickly reselling it for profit. Though flipping can apply to any asset, the term is most often applied to real estate and initial public offerings. That said, I'd concure that you'd state that the shit hit the fan, rather than the defication hit the rotary oscelator.
8 months later (July 15, 2019) and Monopoly Millenial Edition is $13.50 on Amazon Prime. After Dec. 11, 2018 the price fell below $44 and continued to slide. Shows the importance of turn and burn, holding is risky.
OK, out of 4,506 comments on this one video. How many people do you think watched the video and actually started an Amazon or Ebay selling business? Any guesses?
Hey, love your videos, your straight to the point and apparently hold nothing back... love the hustle... The shipping boxes look kinda long, did you combine 2 usps boxes🙂 #genius...
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.
It’s amazing to read the comments. It’s stunning, really. Comments are filled with people who are truly weak and uneducated. If you’re weak minded and uneducated it’s no secret why you’re preyed upon by ones who are motivated and educated.
Thanks brother I have been banging my head trying to make money online and haven’t done anything except spend what I don’t have even borrowed which I had to get paid back with in the time I said I would not losing friends nor family over money I’m disabled wife is to she’s wounded warrior we both Pryor military she is out on a 50% which is a slap in the face but still gets a small VA pension along with all benefits we got to keep those which was huge in itself healthcare and everything we had when in service we get to keep for life so all good there. Anyway we have ran across you literally now as we write to you and I can not believe we never thought of this I really appreciate folks like you who come on and share their niche with others that is huge and is a non selfish act! We need more like you out here and the world be a better place👍🏻👍🏻
People paid you the money because you saved them the time and effort and headache of locating the items. You did the foot work for them. Good job. Often I gladly pay a markup just so I don't have to ride all around going to many stores to find what I want. Sometimes a half day shopping trip finds nothing and I go home and order it from Amazon in 5 minutes. And then I kick myself for not doing that in the first place.
@@elo4630 As a Walmart manager I can say we don't really care about something like this Monopoly game, just more sales for our store. If it's something that is really limited and in high demand we might impose limits because we'd rather have 20 happy customers than one happy customer and 19 that are pissed that we don't have what they want. 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.
I agree with you on this maybe someone looking for one for a gift and this pig took them all I was at a Walmart cases of coke on sale about 40cases this old man bought them all I just wanted just one
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.
You know, people like you is why I struggle to find the things my kids want for Christmas! I could understand wanting to make a small profit but you jack up the price triple it’s value! This is just not right!
Don't hate the man for taking the time to do his research and putting the the time. This is a lot of work. Trust me on that.

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.

Told you once, told you twice don't make me tell you thrice -- best re-selling video on RUclips
Agreed, lays it all out there
Thanks for putting me in check and I'm truly sorry For not looking past a nother man's joke on who it would harm. Sorry PEAce
The fun part is the ones that dont sell can just be returned lol.
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.
@@JohnDoe-ld8nr you're Lame.
@@JohnDoe-ld8nr Walmart doesn't require a receipt. Just bring one back and say I lost the receipt. If you are worried someone will remember you as the guy who bought 27 of them, just go back when that person isn't working.
Even if you dont get your money physically back from walmart.. they give you what you spent on a walmart gift card, which you can buy gas, food, and everyday/month household things..
mllarson You can only return without a receipt 3 times a year and you only get store credit
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.
I know somebody who made a living selling Kirby vacuum cleaners. He was a multi million. He would wholesale buy a lot of Kirby vacuum cleaners fix them and sell them to Kirby vacuum cleaner stores. Throughout his 60 year career he grossed about 20 million dollars.
I did the same thing 30 years ago. I wish I made the same amount of money as he did. I did make a good living at it, but wow he made a killing... I must have been doing something wrong...lol
BULLSHIT GO AWAY
I sold them for 11 years
@Srbistanik 01 damn what country do you live in? People make more than that in a week here
@@CRCfail Cough, cough, bullshit, cough cough! lmao! I'm with you!
This was amazing to see! Ill.getting started to sell on Amazon and this encourage me so much! Thank you!
Who in their right mind pay 77 dollars for a monopoly game ...
millennials :D
It's the value they place on that particular item. I wouldn't buy one at that price but I've bought vitamins before at $50/bottle.
Nobody, this video is utter and complete bullshit. Game sells for as low as 12 buck on Amazon--plus you need to be approved to sell. Which required INVOICES NOT RECEIPTS.
@@elvis316
Receipt = Paper
Invoice = Paper
Do you own a computer and a printer that uses Paper?
I use to work at L.L Bean where they sold $120 boards. Most thought it was outrageous, but the people who bought them were very passionate about them.
Wow, lots of comments from people who have a problem with this. If it were milk or eggs I'd agree. But it's something nobody needs but chooses to buy for stupid money. He put a lot of work in so fair play.
yep. just supply and demand. it's not food or gasoline. so , let the bidders rock.
Thats so Awesome! Thanks for everything you do. Scored 23 in my area, on ebay they were gone in less than 24 hours!
NIce work!
I did 500 in 5 made 5 million profit omg it worked I never have to work again and can just make RUclips videos showing everyone how to do it it’s so easy you just go to stores and buy shit and post it on amazon that simple you don’t even have to scan anything just buy any 2 dollar item at Walmart and post it for 20 dollars on amazon there’s sooo many people who will buy it sooo easy
andysilvy23 😂😂😂
Liar! Nobody believes your crap. Keep dreaming.
I bought 50,000 and sold them before I bought them!!! 😲😲
There always will be people that doesnt like to go to the Store or simple doesnt have time and is more easy to buy online for more money
I LOVE THAT HE THINKS THATS TRAFFIC LOL
You just talked me into subscribing. The only picking I've ever done is picking thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales for antiques and collectibles. You are making me think about branching out.
You can buy and sell new items on Ebay as well. Good Luck
@@BeardedPicker Yes I know but I think Amazon's set up might be more conducive to selling larger quantities of the same item. 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.
Monopoly Trafficking 😂
Jose Ayala Lol If they pulled him over in CA they are opening those boxes to see what they think he's really trafficking lol
@@CupcakeCartel1 lol well at least I hope he takes care thats all I got to say 👌🔥
Supply and demand. He bought all the local supply. Demand was high.
Just checked the Amazon website and these are selling for $19.82 now (June 2019). So you would NOT make any money selling these today. One thing not emphasized with this video is that timing is critical.
I thought it was Dominos pizza in the thumbnail
VERY IMPRESSIVE. I guess I wonder how you got the lead on this item but I respect that it’s probably a trade secret. Anyway WELL DONE.
After figuring your labor(in hours) spent driving/buying, +hours spent packing and shipping, +the initial price of the game +tax, +Amazon fees, +gas +packing supplies(boxes,tape,bubble wrap,etc. are NOT free and do add up) You are NOT clearing as much as you think.
I agree, the gas cost must be tearing up the profit.
He can claim the gas cost on his taxes. That's why he tracks miles
@@tinkerbell2810 He would only be saving 10 to 20 percent....he still spent a lot on gas.
I drive to Mn. From Tx with about 3. 1/2 tanks of gas. About 80 dollars in gas. Even if he spent 200 on gas he still made a good profit. I guess you could also say the views on this video make up for the gas.
Any money lost can be regained via a refund
I guess Walmart smartened up because now the games are over $60. So there goes the profit....EZ come EZ go
Yeah....thanks to this DOUCHEBAG.
Now actual millennials can’t afford the game that’s making fun of them
Those are third party sellers, dude.
@@darkmode867 That's not inflation😑
Doesn’t make since, sense he paid for them, it’s not like he stole them, Walmart didn’t lose any profit
Right on dude that was badass awesome congrats man!
I was doing this years ago but ruptured 3 discs in my lower back jumping off a catwalk at work to put out a chemical fire. Probably saved many lives but me and the guy who put the fire out never got any credit. Anyway, I love videos like this. Even with a bad back I can do this. You inspire me to get back to business
Thanks for your transparency on this business idea. I wont be doing it myself but it was interesting to see the journey.
Good for you , I like that you show it takes some footwork, mileage and time, cool that you can make some money off the millinials that only want to shop on the web.
Yeah what a fucking saint shopping at modest 'ol Walmart. Lol!
The beard is strong with this one

Very strong

Dude is making some mad cash.people shouldn't be hating because if the roles were reversed you would be ok with it.you know you would be happy making that kind of money and buying a brand new car straight out cash with no loan to pay.
Me and my boyfriend live in Counce TN right next to Iuka, MS. When you said you were at Iuka my mouth dropped. I’ve never watched someone on RUclips do this and be so close to us!
My in laws were married in Iuka many years ago.
Bearded Picker it’s such a small tight knit town. Still super cool!
And you were in Selmer, TN which is my hometown. So cool! Definitely never seen anything on the RUclips about resellers in Selmer lol
Hey! I sourced the Walmart in Muscle Shoals earlier this year and I think Huntsville too. Great score! Unfortunately my life schedule did not allow me to chase these. Hopefully the next one...
I hit the Muscle Shoals and Florence stores on this trip for games.
Yo you have a monopoly on the monopoly games, soon prices will sky rocket world wide
Gotta hand it you sir, very well done. No other comments seem to mention the $6k made in ad revenue from the RUclips video?? Every 1000 views is worth about $3 in ad revenue.
One of my friends in the UK who died one of the richest people here started out doing this with umbrellas. He would buy them all from the store and then sold them outside because there was none left in the store.
I could NEVER see paying 60 bucks for a board game but, apparently, I am alone in this conviction. Is there something I'm missing? Collectors edition, etc.?
I agree with you.
I don't see why he just doesn't buy wholesale. They're shipped to you...for nothing.
You need a business license to buy wholesale.
There would no way that I would pay $60.00 for any game!
People are dumbasses!!
It looks like you have pizzas in you car!
Dealing with your monetary concern is achievable through earning online. Try to look for *4NetJobs. Com* on Google and just follow the simple process. Using *4NetJobs. Com* has allowed me to earn $646 a week ago. This chance is something you have to be thankful for..?
I did this back in 2016. Made a few thousand dollars. Amazon FBA.
Man my eyes are looking like yours, but I love it. You are a product of HARD WORK! Inspiring. Doing some studying so I can execute this type of hustle.
I love how you actually break down the price, most people would just say how to make $4000 in one night and not deduct ANY costs which is delusion
I didn't account for fuel or meals because of tax issues. Gas was $75 but a $395 tax deduction. Meals were $15 but a $7.50 tax deduction. Also, didn't account for time since this is my full-time gig, and I am the only employee in my LLC. Thanks for watching!
@@BeardedPicker Yes, that was my question, personal/business expenses. I did this with books, cds, dvds for several years, my initial underlying profit being from buying library resale books and reselling on Amazon. Then I moved into new dvds (blockbuster movies) and then EBay lots of cds where I would list as they were in transit. I was running at about $50k part time while working FT but the margins on the amount of inventory I had to hold became more and more overwhelming. I eventually changed my business model to shift to digital inventory but I'm thinking about, or will eventually have to hold some physical inventory as a percentage of my overall inventory.
After he factors in how much time he spent on this, and given this is the absolute best case scenerio, it's not a job most people would want. Don't really think people appreciate how much work goes into "easy" money.
Daniel Hughes easy to get into, hard to do. The market pays you based on the value that you bring. Less value you can bring harder you have to work... super simple once broken down develop marketable skills and you wont N E E D to do this but vids like this weed out the people that say “i’m broke and there’s nothing i can do” THIS 😂
I like your editing style brother! Great Job. Inspiring. Now let's go make it rain.
What editing? It does not take 11 minutes to say "buy cheap and sell high." This should have been a two minute video TOPS!!!
Wow! Well done! The prices have now dropped but you obviously knew what you were doing selling leading up to Christmas. Unbelievable people would pay that much. I guess busy professionals have the loot lol and no time to go shopping. But I'm impressed. Nice one 👍
It just show that America is great and you showing the way of hard work with a plan can make a good profit day by day. Keep up the fantastic work.

Oh shit lol
Have you made a video describing how you identify the popular products ahead or how you determine what products are in high demand? I would love to hear your thoughts on if you've encountered products with a good margin but low demand. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Eric Florez He ain't gonna give away his secrets dude it's mostly intuition
there was a viral video about this item a few days ago
Reddit lol
A1c2b3 where are on reddit? Is there a subreddit for this kind of thing?
I think @obviousplant on instagram made this game
I salute you sir. It just goes to show you that if the desire is strong enough, anything is possible. Keep up the good work.
They're $19.88 w/free shipping on Amazon now.
I sold them on Black Friday, one week after they were released. Prices were different
I never heard of "Arbitrage Selling" but it seems to have been profitable for the Bearded Picker this time. I'm curious to learn more. Great little side-hustle. Good for you!
I live in Southern Illinois. There is a store in the next town over called Farm Fresh. I seen the owners of that Farm Fresh at Walmart purchasing multiple items for their store. They Jack the price up! $$$
I cannot believe in this day and age, with all the numerous advances in boardgaming mechanics, that a version of Monopoly is so sought after. Especially since most people have never even heard of the good board games. Lucky for you, though. Cool video.
Every day I’m hustlin💯💯 Hustlin hustlin‼️
I don't care about you buying a boardgame cheap and sell it expensive. But people who buys all the tickets possible for a concert just to sell them to a overprice that pisses me off!
that's the fault of the concert for selling them so cheap in the first place
Haha that's a good one but no a Metallica concert in Denmark is way overpriced in the first place but people who doesn't manage to buy them when the tickets are sold have to buy them at outrageous prices because they wanna see them play! I've always got my ticket but I think it's a shitty way to scam other people...
@@rasmuswellejus2809 wait you think that people "*have* to buy" tickets?! That's the difference right there! No one can force someone else into buying anything, that's illegal.
In every other case, they're entering into a *voluntary* contract to buy the ticket. Just because you'd prefer the price to be lower doesn't mean it should. Literally the only thing that affects the price is supply/demand. Who benefits from price de/increases is completely arbitrary.
It's the EXACT SAME THING!!!!
concert organizers deliberately underprice their tickets because the risk of an empty house means a poorer experience for the concert goers and could bode poorly for the artist's brand. the role that ticket scalpers play is complicated
Ha! Had to do a double take on your name. I thought it said "The Bearded Pecker!!"
Thanks for letting us all know what you were thinking when you clicked to view this video.
How do you figure out what to sell for a decent profit? Also how do you know how much shipping would cost? Would it be easier to just ship to amazon and let them fulfill the order for you? I'm a newbie so please be gentle, lol.
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.
Do you still have that baby formula issue in Australia?.
It’s all supply and demand. I picked up a pair of Amiga computer tower conversions for $10 at a surplus auction mainly for giggles. They were missing enough parts that I didn’t have the interest in building them back up to functional status, so I put them on eBay as-is, hoping to at least recover the money I spent. Was I floored when the closing bid was well over 300!
You put them glasses back on
Thanks
I just bought 1000 Monopoly sets! Lets goooooooo!
I went to a Home Depot store and bought a product that rung up at .01. Item sells at Wal Mart for $12.88 which was the lowest price I seen at a retail store. I bought the whole display ( 57 units left). A Home Depot worker asked if I was going to save some for other buyers. I said to her no! I'm not giving you the opportunity to call your family and friends to come buy the rest of them..lol. She said well I have to report this to manager lol. I stated go ahead please I have my receipt, and tell the manager I rigged the register as well..lol. Point of this story is there are great finds out there in these retail stores. This happened again at Wal-Mart but with a different product and this time the Wal -Mart rep mentioned it too me. So I grabbed them all! I'm not going too mention what the product is at either store. Don't need any competition for my self.
Why are people paying $60 for something that costs less than $20?
Bc they are stupid
It's called flipping, buying low and selling high is not rocket science.
No it's called scalping and it used to be illegal
@@Steelmanwho Scalping, when used in reference to trading in securities, commodities and foreign exchange, may refer to a legitimate method of arbitrage of small price gaps created by the bid-ask spread. a fraudulent form of market manipulation.
Flipping is a term used primarily in the United States to describe purchasing a revenue-generating asset and quickly reselling it for profit. Though flipping can apply to any asset, the term is most often applied to real estate and initial public offerings.
That said, I'd concure that you'd state that the shit hit the fan, rather than the defication hit the rotary oscelator.
@@Steelmanwho U must be another jealous dumb fuck.
@@Steelmanwho I hope you aren't a fan of the various house-flipping shows. Same thing - larger scale - bigger risk.
some places it is rocket science. definitely in the soutern states.
Great beard bro
Bearded Picker is most definitely a very hard and honest worker and he has got smarts !!!!!
I sell on amazon as well. There are so many items at Walmart that you can do this with.
how do u know what items to find
You just opened my eyes
8 months later (July 15, 2019) and Monopoly Millenial Edition is $13.50 on Amazon Prime. After Dec. 11, 2018 the price fell below $44 and continued to slide. Shows the importance of turn and burn, holding is risky.
Theres always hot items for Christmas. Risk? Unsold items can always be returned
OK, out of 4,506 comments on this one video. How many people do you think watched the video and actually started an Amazon or Ebay selling business? Any guesses?
7
Hey, love your videos, your straight to the point and apparently hold nothing back... love the hustle...
The shipping boxes look kinda long, did you combine 2 usps boxes🙂 #genius...
Yes, cut one in half to slide over one end. So it took 3 boxes to ship 2 games.
I don't understand how these games sold for so much when you get get them at a Wal-Mart!
indeed
Some people are too lazy to leave their homes
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.
Funny....Fast Forward a year later, and they are on Clearance at Walmart for $9.00
Yeah, and I bet he still has most of what he bought too.
It’s amazing to read the comments. It’s stunning, really. Comments are filled with people who are truly weak and uneducated. If you’re weak minded and uneducated it’s no secret why you’re preyed upon by ones who are motivated and educated.

Anyway we have ran across you literally now as we write to you and I can not believe we never thought of this I really appreciate folks like you who come on and share their niche with others that is huge and is a non selfish act! We need more like you out here and the world be a better place👍🏻👍🏻
People paid you the money because you saved them the time and effort and headache of locating the items. You did the foot work for them.
Good job. Often I gladly pay a markup just so I don't have to ride all around going to many stores to find what I want.
Sometimes a half day shopping trip finds nothing and I go home and order it from Amazon in 5 minutes.
And then I kick myself for not doing that in the first place.
Won't be long until large retailers limit purchase counts.
Yo can get them on eBay now 11.99 + 6.99 shipped new
Why would Walmart care?
@@elo4630 As a Walmart manager I can say we don't really care about something like this Monopoly game, just more sales for our store. If it's something that is really limited and in high demand we might impose limits because we'd rather have 20 happy customers than one happy customer and 19 that are pissed that we don't have what they want. 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.
I agree with you on this maybe someone looking for one for a gift and this pig took them all I was at a Walmart cases of coke on sale about 40cases this old man bought them all I just wanted just one
@@jhonsmith3578 Exactly, Walmart owes its customers a bit of protection from folks using them as their bulk source for reselling.
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.
The media is full of crap...
Mike C. What aren't Millenials offended by? That's why they are known as the snowflake generation.
You know, people like you is why I struggle to find the things my kids want for Christmas! I could understand wanting to make a small profit but you jack up the price triple it’s value! This is just not right!
Its amazing on March 2020 the net profit for this on Amazon FBA is $6.50 minus your cost !!
Timing is important. Be first, be last...in the middle, you get nothing.
