- What's going on YouTube?
My name is Kris, and in this video
I'm going to be giving you guys some products to source
every day this week, four to five products to source,
and as well as where to get these items
and where to buy these items.
So be sure to subscribe and turn on those post notifications
and obviously profit is all that matters in this game,
but after going over the metrics of what I look for,
you guys should be able to get a good idea
of how much of this is profit.
So, let's go ahead and get on the computer
and start looking at some products.
Okay guys, what's going on?
I realize the stats I showed you
didn't really show up very well,
so here are today's numbers,
and hopefully you can see that a little bit better.
Just so you guys know I'm not like making it up or anything,
But yeah, so, now before we get into this,
I do wanna say that you need to check
if you are ungated in what I'm gonna show you, right.
So like, certain categories are gated,
certain brands are gated.
And not saying like, you know, don't just immediately
like give up, I've gotten ungated auto-approval
in so many different things, right.
So always try to get approved immediately.
And then from there, then you know,
if you can get approved, figure out what it takes,
if you guys need any help, let me know,
I'll help you get approved in some stuff.
And usually, whenever you have to get approved in something
it means that there's gonna be a larger barrier to entry
right so, in online Arbitrage,
one of the downsides is an item can get
saturated really quickly
so I would rather buy a few of a lot of items,
than a bunch of a few in the beginning anyways,
just to see how it goes.
And that's one of the perks on to online arbitrage,
you can order as many as you want.
And then, I guess yeah, lastly just make sure the stats,
like whenever you're watching this video,
it may not be live,
make sure the price rank, number of competing offers,
all that stuff makes it sellable.
Because what if the rank has gone down
since I've posted this video.
Okay, enough of me talking, we're going to go
into this first item.
So, I'm not - this is me doing this live, so you know,
maybe going over some of these again,
they may not be profitable.
So I'm gonna plug this ASIN in,
and okay so, I can get this at Walgreens for 8.99 okay.
So, and this is just me - a rough estimate.
Now, guys, do not forget to use Ebates.
I have my link in the description below,
if you've used my link, it is an affiliate link,
but you guys get money too.
All you have to do is spend over 25 dollars,
and you get 10 bucks back.
And Ebates is basically like a coupon service,
they give you money back.
So, I can get this from Walgreens for 8.99,
let's go ahead and see what this item's looking like.
Now, in order to check an item,
there's a few things I'm doing.
So the first thing you wanna do is
you wanna come over to the JungleScout estimator,
which is free,
and I've shown this in my other videos before,
but I'd rather just reiterate it.
So, this is a beauty product I believe, let me see,
'beauty and personal care' okay.
So it's 'beauty and personal care' and we're going to
plug in the rank so that way we can see the rank,
and it is, okay, 341.
Now, I've said this in my past videos,
you have to watch out for beauty and health
from Jungle Scout, because they inflate the numbers.
So, now what we're going to do is,
we are going to use this free amazon FBA calculator.
Not only will this give you -
okay so this is saying 24 monthly sales.
Now let's see if I bought this for 8.99,
and 8.99 we're looking at 6.70 profit,
Okay so, ROI, I always look for an ROI,
at least - AT LEAST 55%.
The reason why I will make an exception is
if it's a very quickly moving item.
So, that means if
hundreds and hundreds of these are selling a month,
I'll get away with a 40% item.
The whole reason you want 50% or more,
is because in case number of competing offers increases
you will not get stuck with it,
and you won't have to worry about dropping your price down
So everything's looking good, everything looks fine,
except the last thing we wanna do is,
I've installed Keepa on - you can install Keepa -
on extensions and what will happen is
every time you pull up a listing,
these 2 graphs will show up,
you want to make sure both graphs are showing,
so, if you don't know how to read Keepa, I'm gonna keep it-
this isn't a tutorial on how to read Keepa,
so you're gonna have to look that up on your own.
However, I'll briefly talk about it.
But before we do that, I wanna talk about
number of competing offers.
So, the thing that scares me here is this -
it's kind of kind of gone up a little bit,
it's gone from - let's see - 6 to 7,
and there's only - so we've got 7 of these items right now.
Now, with the ROI,
I would still probably order a couple of these.
I'm not ordering anything I'm showing you guys,
but I have so many products to choose from right now,
it's just they're kind of on back log.
So, I would still order a few of these,
that's the only thing that scares me here.
Now I'm just gonna go over the Keepa graphs,
spikes are good, you wanna make sure sales rank -
so if your sales rank isn't showing,
you gotta click on sales rank.
And when it spikes, that means it sells, right?
So when something sells, sales rank gets lower,
like if you think of your product label listing,
when the lower the rank gets -
when something sells the rank gets lower,
so if you're looking on a graph,
these have gone lower, right?
So, there are definitely sales happening here.
And you know what?
It's really hard to say,
so Jungle Scout said 350, this says 24.
Maybe it's taking an average,
maybe you order 4 or 5 of these
and they sell out immediately,
and so what I'm gonna do is,
here, I've got the link to the Walgreens item here,
And obviously you guys can't click on it through here,
I will post that in the description below for you guys,
the ASIN and the item, so far so good,
we got Walgreens.
Walgreens has a lot of good stuff guys,
another thing that you wanna keep in mind is,
look at like, wherever you buy something, just 'cause-
don't cross the place off immediately.
How much you wanna bet,
Walgreens has a bunch of other things?
And you can use other sites like Tactical Arbitrage,
to completely go over some of these sites,
So let's say I have a beauty product at Walgreens,
now I wanna look over all the beauty products on
Tactical Arbitrage,
Tactical Arbitrage is like 90 dollars a month,
just for the product search,
but use the 10 day free trial, okay?
Next one will be this ASIN right here,
okay so this one is - let's see- it is a beauty -
another beauty product, okay.
So we're just gonna go into Amazon,
and paste this ASIN in.
All ASIN's are - guys are just Amazon's item numbers
that they use to, like, catalog their system.
And you can get ASINs, like if you go to the top here,
you can just double-click this,
if you ever wanna, like, do it the fast way.
Okay, so this is Clinique.
Now, I can sell Clinique,
I don't know if you guys can or not.
So you definitely wanna check that.
Now, I can get this on Boscovs for 10 dollars.
So let's see what the profit margins are.
That's why I usually like to check first,
so after I know that I can sell it,
the first thing I wanna do is check profit margins.
See so number 1 new release, that could be good,
that little banner might be good.
Okay so, if I wanna see the rank,
what I wanna do is scroll all the way down here.
Okay so, we're looking at 33,000 in Beauty.
I already know that this is going to be a good item.
Anything less than 50,000 in Beauty is usually good.
But, just for the sake of it,
I'll plug in 33,000.
33,556 in here, just so you guys can see.
Okay so, 622, it's not probably not selling that much.
So we know 622 is going to sell.
So now what we're going to do, we're gonna come up here.
Okay so for some reason, sometimes the Amazon FBA calculator
does not work, um, however I have a solution,
I'm just gonna pop in my Inventory Labs really quick,
and we are going to -
we're gonna check the profit of this item.
So right now,
we basically know number of sales is good, right?
Um, so we're just gonna pop in here,
and I just like to search -
so it'll tell us profit breakdown,
so I can get this for 10 dollars
and we're looking at 110 profit mar-
so when plugging in cost, we get list price
and we're looking at 11 dollars profit per unit.
And this is definitely a buy.
So assuming you can list it,
actually I take that back,
we wanna look at one more thing.
So last thing we wanna look at is the Keepa.
Okay so number of competing offers, it's stair-stepped,
it's gone back down, we've got 5.
That's nothing, with how many of these you're selling.
We've got a sales rank of 35,000 at this 28.49 mark,
so, we just wanna - we see the spikes,
the spikes are looking good.
Now this is the - the price,
it looks like there was maybe a, like a promo or something,
not sure why the price dropped down,
or maybe there was just a new seller,
they came in, entered in the market there.
But guys, this is definitely a product, if you can list it,
definitely try and list it.
I don't think Beauty is gated anymore,
it used to be when I first started,
but I don't think it is anymore.
Like I said guys, if it is, you let me know and I'll try
and help you out.
Okay next ASIN on the list is a Pictionary game.
And we can get this from Target for 8 dollars and 17 cents.
Okay, okay so, what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna paste this ASIN in here.
Okay the - I already know that
this is gonna be a fast-moving item.
Mattel might be gated, I - you're gonna have to check,
so, okay we're looking at 18.20
and I can buy this on Target for 8.17.
So we're just gonna ahead and see the profit breakdown.
And like I said, don't forget to use Ebates.
Ooh, I don't like that.
Profit, okay so, I'm not even gonna look up the sales rank,
so yeah there's a bunch of these selling per month,
but look at the margin impact.
That's a 37% ROI and, like, I've seen people talk
about they'll deal with 40% ROI,
and I think that's fine in certain circumstances,
you know, maybe if you're dealing with a whole-saler,
or private labeling or something,
but we're talking about online arbitrage here,
and I do not wanna mess with this.
I think there are better ways to spend my money.
And look at the Keepa right here.
This is - when something is this low of profit margins,
look at this spike right here,
just climbed up.
And I ge- all these people who bought in right here,
who bought in right here if they didn't sell,
like if they didn't have the Buy Box,
and they were tryna hold on,
their price is just getting whittled down,
farther down and farther down.
So, I mean, it's definitely selling a lot,
but I'm not gonna mess with it.
So, I would definitely scratch that one guys.
Okay, so the next one is,
this ASIN right here.
So Disney Junior Puppy Dog Pals.
So I kinda broke down some costs right here,
so we're looking at a 6.82 cost from Shop Disney.
And, you know, we'll double check these figures,
I always like to double check.
6.82..
So we're gonna go ahead and plug this ASIN into Amazon.
So, so far guys we are 2 for 3.
If you guys are watching this,
maybe this price will go back up,
so you gotta check it, like, now there's a lot of offers,
but maybe there won't be.
And who knows, maybe it'll be out of stock.
So, okay, so, we've got Disney Junior Dogs Puppy Pals.
Now, I did get un-gated in Disney back,
I mean this was months ago.
Uh, I had a friend tell me that Disney wasn't gated now,
it may or may not be still.
So I can get this for 6.82 from Shop Disney,
like I said I'll leave the links,
we're going to check profit margins out.
Sorry, 11.21 is the cost, I'm sorry.
So, 11.21.
Okay so, we're looking at a 6 dollar and 24 cent profit.
A ton of these sell a month, 55% ROI.
I like these.
Now, I'm going to double check the rank in Jungle Scout,
just - I always like to make sure.
So, while I'm on the way down,
look number of offers in the Keepa chart
has stayed consistent.
So, that's checked out.
Now we are going to roll down here.
Okay, 5,428. Now, I already know that my limit in toys
is around the 40k mark.
So I don't like to source toys over 40k.
This is 5,428 but just so you guys can see,
this is a demo video so,
I wouldn't even check if this was me, now,
this definitely isn't selling this many per month.
But let's go ahead and check my 40k mark, right, my 40k.
Oh wait sorry, we're in Toys and Beauty, we-
that's why you need to make sure
you're in the right category.
Now we're in Toys and Games, I clicked Toys and Games,
we're gonna put 5428,
okay that looks better,
Let's go ahead and check the 40k mark.
Okay so, I guess maybe um, I like to source things
that sell at least 100 a month,
I'll usually - I'll sometimes make exceptions
depending on ROI,
now or just what I have that day to look at, you know,
if I'm rushed for time.
And you know, I feel like I can spend, you know,
100-200 bucks. Something like this I might.
Okay, so, the Jungle Scout and FBA numbers
once again, they vary.
That is why we double check.
So, it's, this one's saying, you know, 500 a month,
that one was saying 40 a month,
I still like this, so, I would still source this,
once again guys check to make sure you're ungated,
and if not, we'll get you ungated,
completely the right way.
And then lastly is this guy.
So right off the bat, you can buy this for 19.99
on Hasbro Toy shop,
I'll leave the link in the description below.
And it sells for 40
- leaves you about 10 dollars and 93 cents profit.
So, we're going to just double check the figures though,
I love double checking because the more data you have
the less likely it's going to be that you mess up.
And this is fun, guys, are you guys having fun?
I'm having a lot of fun right now.
Okay so the first thing I do,
I get the little Amazon FBA calculator,
so it sells for 40, so let's go ahead and check profit,
we're gonna make sure, you know, I did this earlier,
in terms of profit-wise.
104 sell a month, that's looking good.
We'll say, you know, 11, and don't forget about promos guys,
so look up promo coupons, so free shipping, Ebates,
cashback, it can really stack up.
I've taken cost per units from a down about 50%.
Even sometimes more, just using coupons right.
Okay so, we're looking at 11, but we'll say 20
just to round out.
So we're looking at a 55% profit margin here.
Once again, this is good, numbers check out.
Last thing I wanna do is, I wanna make sure
that number of competing offers isn't high,
and I wanna check the Jungle Scout numbers.
But if you guys, like, start sourcing, I don't know,
some things will be used, ignore used offers
and ignore merchant offers.
The only thing that matters is prime.
Nothing else matters. Look over here.
'Other sellers on Amazon', merchant 37.98, doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is this 40 over here.
Okay so, we have new 37.98, really low sales rank,
29,000, we'll double check it though.
Okay so number of competing offers on this has gone up.
It does have good profit margins though,
you know, it's still holding strong at the 40 dollar mark.
We're going down to rank,
so I can type it into Jungle Scout.
So we've got a 27,000 sales rank,
so we're gonna go to Jungle Scout,
we're gonna click on Toys and Games,
and then we're gonna plug in, we'll round up to 28,000,
it's always better to round up.
And we're looking at 76 sales per month.
As you guys can see, this is why we double check stuff.
So we've got Keepa, we have Jungle Scout,
and we have Amazon FBA calculator.
We have 3 decisions that will allow us
to make an informed decision.
So, based on everything here, I would buy this,
buy a few, see how it goes, and then scale.
I am un-gated in these, I'm not sure if you guys are.
Oh and give me feedback too, like, what categories,
I'm just kinda picking these products randomly,
if you guys are gated, let me know,
because I can't see everything that everyone's gated in.
So if you guys are gated in grocery let me know.
If you guys are gated in particular brands today,
let me know, and I can either try and help you get un-gated,
or we can-, or we'll work on it.
So that's pretty much it.
Just a quick little recap, the best one on here
was definitely the Moisture Surge.
We passed on-, the Walgreens item was a go,
Pictionary was a pass because of number of competing offers,
Shop Disney was a go and the Hasbro Toy Shop was a go.
So we've got 4 out of the 5 I picked today
were looking good.
And stay tuned for tomorrow, we will be covering
4 to 5 more items.
And see you in the next video.
