good morning i am up early because it is q4 and for whatever reason when i marvin that means we
are far away from anywhere no that's not true i'm actually in indiana still but i've already
sourced everywhere here so i'm heading a little further south it's going to be an hour and a half
drive today so i am up early i got my office ladies and my coffee and let's hit the road
i'm here it is still dark out and i feel like i've been driving for two hours but it's really
only been an hour and a half and there's a line to get in because i am a minute before seven o'clock
so so many other people waiting in their cars i had no idea that walmart was such a big thing
all right first store of the day done walmart and it was a huge success i'm really excited
everything i got was seasonal and except for toys which could be considered seasonal right now but
i'll get into the toy in a second they did not have big boxes which is annoying because now i'm
going to have to pack the boxes on top because i definitely am going to need some big boxes my
first tip is kind of the same tips i always have but scan anything that's new different natural
like these lilies baking chips that i scanned they were different and i've never seen them before
probably because i don't go natural when baking but anyways so i scanned it it doesn't make a lot
of profit but it's here at walmart if you want to come check it out so right now since there is so
much display seasonal stuff i highly recommend if you find something on display go ahead and check
the main aisle just to see if they have it or not because you never know they might have it there
i also noticed that last week when i was in michigan and i got my barbie item it was only
14.88 and everywhere else it's been 17.88 which is super annoying so at 14 it would have made a
profit good enough for me but at 17 it doesn't so it's one i just keep scanning because i have
been replenishing it when it makes sense to right now the price dropped a little bit so it doesn't
make sense for me to replenish it if the price goes back up i'll replenish it these care bears
i've been scanning the care bears since i've seen them because anything that's kind of old
coming back around is also good so i went ahead and scanned them not a great profit but this one
is decent and it's lightweight so it's at walmart if you want to come check it out i'm pretty sure
i mentioned that there is a hot toy brand right now that i am on the lookout for i've only found
one so far but today i found three of another product from that line and i'm really excited
always look around so i got two that i saw on the shelf and then i like moved
stuff around and lo and behold on a different shelf below behind something else there was
another one so i got three just that one item it costs fifty dollars makes twenty three dollars
and then i also found in the clearance aisle because i just like to cruise through
i don't spend a lot of time in the clearance right now but i do like to cruise through and
i found a ebola that someone had posted so it's on sale for 35 dollars and it's
making 31 dollars so you guys literally four things two different products four units total
a hundred dollars profit just right there in an hour and a half and i spent 280 dollars total so
i'm really excited and my next door now is target because it's the next door open and
after that it'll be ollie's and then everything's open and i'll head out so let's head to target
all right i found a couple things at target so my first tip is to use the target app and when you're
at walmart use the walmart app because i scanned one toy and it was cheaper at target.com and they
will honor that at the register you just have to pull it up on the circle app and show them that
the price is cheaper so i found one toy that saved me four dollars by scanning it and then the thing
i found on the display at walmart i actually found in aisle here so they didn't have it in aisle at
walmart but they had it here so now i've got more of that and usually if it's like a normal-ish
thing so it's a grocery item you can find it in both walmart target it's probably even at the
grocery store so i'll take a look when i go and last thing is just a funny story i'll pull up a
photo of it so i used to say i had a puppy mill because our generation they have little puppies
and i haven't seen them yet but if you do see them scan them and i would be i literally was
bagging up all these little puppies and selling every christmas i've done it two years now so i
don't know if they don't make them anymore or what if you are gated in the big toy brands i'm pretty
sure you do need to be ungated in toys but it's definitely worth checking the our generation and
my life it takes some time to scan them because sometimes you have to enter in what it actually is
but some of them are really profitable so if you're gated and you have the time definitely
that is a suggestion if you want to get ungated of course i have my ungating guides which are
affordable and new seller specific you don't need to have sold a single thing and you can
get ungated in fact for grocery otc topical and beauty you don't even need a resale license you
don't have to have an llc you don't have to business for either one of them but
for that one is why i always suggest people go because you guys are finding a lot of grocery
you guys i did my first tax free
i used my resole license i brought a bunch of them because i heard that tj maxx and marshalls
keep them so i went to ollie's first and used it and it was exactly like i thought it was
gonna be super easy and i overthought it and like thought it was this big scary thing like i'm doing
something wrong but i'm not doing anything wrong so i just handed it to the cashier she put it in
she like selects resell and then she does it all and then i still got my 10 off coupon so i saved
even more which is awesome because that's more profit so when i was here last week i bought a toy
that was kind of a high rank so just got six of them to test it and then lo and behold they
sold so now i got six more because it's still kind of high rank and there's so many of them
here that i'm sure someone else is gonna find them and i don't want the price to tank so i'm
just gonna keep sending in like six when i find them so there's that here's another one why rank
is so important because if you look at it you're like wow that's crazy profit but look at the rank
that rank is not so great and so sometimes you can get caught up and just looking at the profit and
you forget about looking at the rank so just make sure you're always looking at the rank i still do
it sometimes i get it home and i'm like why did i buy this just something to watch and the last item
is this build-a-bear frozen olaf doll situation it makes six dollars cost 14.99 it's kind of an
up their rank right now because this holiday is okay but i just want to point out because i get
a lot of questions about how many sellers are too many sellers and 12 at this higher rank seems like
it's kind of a lot but when you look at how many competitive sellers which are the buy box price
it's only four so it's not the end of the world i probably would only buy four macs if it was me
i did not buy that one maxx was kind of a bust and i forgot to do my sales tax thing and she said i
i was already like checking out like put my card on and she said that yeah i just would give it to
her in the future ahead of time before you pay but now i'm gonna head over to tuesday morning
all right tuesday morning continues to be one of my favorite stores and i'm really happy because
i had stopped coming here when i heard they were closing and then people in the bolo group
kept posting that there was bolos here to come by and so i finally came a couple weeks ago and i've
been coming ever since because it is amazing plus i found this item from the bolo group
it's here at tuesday morning for 6.99 and it makes 11 so thank you bolo group and now i'm
going to probably get a coffee i think it's like 2 o'clock almost and figure out where i'm going next
okay so i've arrived at the second tuesday morning and as i was driving like mile away all of a
sudden the back window started coming down and i have no idea what that's about and i was trying
to control it with the door one but this thing is kind of broken so i think something fell and
hit it but it's like close to halloween right now and it's a little creepy it's like a ghost in here
and thank goodness it is not super windy out because everything would have blown out
i am really glad i got coffee it takes so much like time i just feel like i don't have time
to stop and get coffee and i just keep going going going so i never stop and get coffee
but man it's like a second wind and i really need to do that more often so i'm at tuesday
morning here i've got a target a walmart and a tj maxx okay i did my second ever tax exempt
purchase and it was a little more in well i just had to wait longer so i always they just put the
number in and was like okay here you go and give me my thing back and then at marshalls they put
me in the system the manager came over to help because the uh cashier had never done it before
and she said she wasn't sure if it was gonna work because it's out of a different state than indiana
which is where i'm at but it did work she put it in and now i apparently i'll be in the system so
it won't be as much to do it so you do leave the license with them so bring extra copies she just
asked me for my name my phone number and then she put in all the information that was on the
license so it was actually pretty easy just you know entering data and i didn't have to pay tax
i don't even want to know how much like profit i have lost leaving money on the table sometimes i
don't buy things because when you factor in tax it makes it like over oh my gosh
so dumb so if you take anything out of this video don't be scared just
do it bring your tax license it's worth it and now if you follow my channel then you've already
seen this but i'm gonna head over to walmart and do the same thing over there because for
whatever reason i've been so scared to do it at walmart i don't know it's weird
i finally did my resale certificate situation tax exempt card i'm so excited i should have it
in my hand right here but it's in my purse i'm so excited i'm so i feel so dumb for waiting
so long but i'm glad i finally did it it was super easy i did another video which you've
probably already seen about the whole process because i filmed two videos today multitasking
but i'm really happy that i did it and i cannot wait it feels like i got ungated again because
i'm like oh there's a whole new world all those things that we're just barely not making enough
profit now make profit i am getting tired it is i think 5 30 or something i have
literally been up 12 hours plus i have like two hour drive home plus i gotta go to target still so
i will catch you back when i do a recap of how the shipment went
okay so i got the shipment all packed up and i'm gonna share the breakdown with you i just want you
to remember that i only went sourcing one day and then i also packed it up all in one day that was
tuesday and then i dropped it off wednesday morning at ups it is now thursday and i'm
recapping the shipment for you so as you probably saw in the title the profit on this one was 1900
again that is after i make the cost of goods back so the cost of goods the actual money i spent on
purchasing the items was two thousand dollars on this one and i made almost two thousand dollars
in profit back after amazon fees after the cost of the items after shipping so that's pretty good
roi and while we're talking roi in this one i'll just point out that this one was 94 obviously if i
spent 2 000 and i made under 2 000 it would not be 100 roi is return on investment so that's i spent
2 000 how much return am i going to get on this one 94 in addition to what i normally do which is
the breakdown of the category so you can see what kind of categories i'm buying and selling i also
broke down if it was a re-plan so you'll see on here i have replan and then last year so replen
is stuff that i sent in last week the week before a month ago stuff that i've been actively selling
currently last year is stuff that i sold during q4 last year that i'm again buying this year so
that's a breakdown there's some in the replan that is stuff from last year but i already found
it last week so now it's in replen i hope that's not too confusing but that's just how i categorize
them so my total shipment was 190 units we're getting back up there in units it was a bulkier
shipment too and walmart was all sold out of the large boxes luckily i had enough in the rv but i
did not think i was going to have enough so stock up on boxes 112 units were replen 79 were replen
replan and then 33 were last year that i've sold them so 58 of my total shipment was not new to me
stuff it's stuff that i've sold before i've seen the question asked like should you delete your
products after you've sold them i don't delete them i leave them for a year or two and this is
the exact reason because now i can just relist on the listing i don't have to make a whole new one
it's already there it makes it a lot easier and quicker and i think because this was all replen or
not all most of it was replen it also made packing the shipment up a lot faster so that was good
all together it got broken up into three shipments i'm here in indiana so the big one 33 dollars like
most of my stuff i think it was like 150 units went to the indiana warehouse and then someone
to california and some went to new jersey if you watched my video from a couple weeks ago where i
was sourcing in the elkhart south bend area almost all of that shipment was like toys and beauty and
this one is a whole lot more like diversified 30 was toys because we're in q4 but 22 was beauty
22 was grocery 50 was kitchen 10 at home so it's a lot more spread out to where last time it was just
two main categories this one it's more spread out i'll just quickly show you here's the categories
from a couple videos ago i'll also link the video here if you want to watch that one but you can see
beauty 54 items 40 toys 45 items 44 of the profit and now this week we're breaking it down so these
are really my top three categories were grocery toy and beauty for this one which is why i'm also
always telling you if your new seller you really want to get ungated because those are really
great especially right now there's all these holiday flavored items in grocery there's holiday
smelling stuff in beauty there's all kinds of stuff out there as well as a lot of this stuff
that i sold was just normal everyday stuff that i've been selling which is why it's on replen so
if you want the guides check them out below they are available and ready to help you as soon as
you are ready to get ungated so my last piece of advice is if you are really interested in selling
on amazon or you've been selling on amazon and you're getting frustrated don't give up
keep scanning do the things for your business that you need to do it is not easy which is why a lot
of people do give up but there's people like me and there's a bunch of people in the bowler group
sellers who've been doing it for years and this is how we make our income because it's worth it
in the end if you can just push through so you have to do the things for your business that
you want to do if that's just starting start if you need to get ungated you really got to
determine is it worth that investment to put in your business because it's like a 250 to 300
investment but is that worth it in the end if you're gonna get your roi right back on that there
are many members in the ungaining groups that are talking about how in their first shipment from
getting ungated they are making 400 500 profit so they're making their money back just on one
shipment and now they're totally open to continue on and make these shipments every week and i just
want to remind you that this 1900 profit i made is part time you guys i've been doing this part time
since the beginning three and a half years i went sourcing one day i packed it up the next day and
then i shipped it out it can be done as a side hustle until it becomes big enough to be your
main hustle i hope this video was helpful and encourages you to start or keep going if you're
getting a little frustrated there are definitely bad days but you just got to keep going keep
scanning it'll work out if you keep working it if you need any help or want to see any other videos
for me definitely comment and let me know or shoot me an email i'll be happy to make them for you
thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you back here for another amazon selling video
you
