hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video if you're new to my channel my name is
nikki kirk and i've been selling on amazon doing retail arbitrage all from my fifth wheel rv which
is not where i am right now but it's been a lot of fun and i highly recommend to anyone who wants
to start selling on amazon to just go ahead and do it because it's awesome and you will love it
you'll hate it sometimes too but for the most part you will love it so like you probably saw
in the title today i'm talking about six items that i flipped so quickly like in two hours
back in december and i made 540 in profit on them if you've been around my channel for a while then
you know that i was actually super intimidated by fbm fulfilled by me and i didn't do a lot of it
until 2020 before that i really just kind of here and there and i was terrified that i was gonna do
something wrong or lose money and it's one of those things much like selling on amazon that
it gets easier the more you do it and once you just get in there and do it you're like oh okay
it's not that hard and you figure it out as you go but if you want more information on fbm i did
a whole step-by-step like the whole entire process from when you find it to listing it in the store
and all that packing it shipping templates all that is included it's a video i'll link it here
it's very helpful just if you want that help now because i live and travel in an rv i don't do a
whole lot of fbm because i literally don't have the space to hold it but i usually always have
one to four things listed at any given time right now i have two products listed one is a christmas
item that weirdly enough it started to go down in price in december and then i was like well what am
i gonna do i had listed it on another platform just really quickly and then i was like well
that's not gonna work either and so i went back to amazon and it actually went back up in price so
that was weird i ended up offloading them and that was helpful because now i don't have these
christmas things sitting in my rv they were small but still anyways i kind of digress but i do have
one item that i have been selling flipping for the past three months you can get it at target walmart
at any grocery store and it is costing me 38 i'm selling it for 90 and i'm making 24 after shipping
on every single one i just picked up four more it's a grocery item and it is a bundle so those
are just kind of things that i look for if you are new to my channel i have a lot of sourcing videos
you can go ahead and check those out but i walk you through how i source anyways i just wanted to
share that i always have like one or two things up on my fbm but not a whole lot i don't do a whole
lot i would still say i'm probably 95 fba which is fulfilled by amazon in case you didn't know
okay so in december i actually did one huge fba shipment and then i kind of just wanted to take a
small break my parents were out in arizona with me rving around so i wanted to take a break and not
do as much selling but when you come across hot items that are selling it's really hard to stop
so i did still do fbm through december and i was going to walmart's tj maxx's targets and grabbing
this hot item there's actually six different items here that i was just grabbing as many as i could
one of them i'll point it out here i actually there was 11 on the shelf i was like well i
know i sold a couple so i'll just get eight and those sold literally while i was still in walmart
so if you ever hear about a seller talking about how they're selling things from their cart they're
always talking about fbm there's no way to do fba in store you have to be selling it and shipping it
yourself so that's fbm so just know that because i have been asked that it was really exciting and i
went back and i grabbed all the rest of them and i sold them all so i pulled together this report
to just show you some of the items i wish i could show you them what they actually were but we still
are in the return period so you don't want to show them just yet but i'm sure you'll see in future
episodes this year where i'll share my successes and this is probably one of them because it was
pretty awesome so i have here the items and this here is what it sold for so it was two different
brands but so each brand had different things so item one i have four things that i'm showing here
but it actually showed like six or seven different variations of this item and then item two
it had two different things it was a toy so i sold the boy and i sold the girl and so here we have
the item i sold i was getting it at target i was signed it for 28.99 some of them were 24.99 here's
the other one item 2 32 99 34 32 22.99 32 32 so this was a real good one these are the ones that
sold in cart yeah that was a real good one and then i added this actually this is a seller board
order report if you need help tracking your inventory and you just want to see your profit
numbers super easy i highly recommend seller board there is a link below where you can get two months
free if you want to try it out you don't have to put a card you can just go ahead and try it out
so anyways this report was from seller board and shipping paid by customer this means that
the customer wanted it faster because it was a christmas item so they paid for expedited
shipping but you'll see here my shipping cost was only 8.55 so i actually ended up making
what like 50 cents on the shipping so that was cool this is the amazon commissions that i paid
to sell on amazon so of the 28.99 the customer paid nine dollars for shipping so that would be
added into that i paid 4.63 the item cost me 9.97 the shipping cost me 8.55 and i ended up profiting
on a 997 item 14 almost 15 for 150 roi and you can see that was almost across the board except
for this one where the shipping got me this one here on a 9.99 item i made 1931. almost doubled my
money on that one and here's another one this was a great item another couple 19. so my overall roi
on what i spent i spent 487 but you guys i was literally shopping in store for two hours one hour
one day and one hour another day i literally would just go grab them one walmart i just happened to
be going there anyways and so i just was like oh i know these items and cruise through the toy aisle
so that is just an example of some of these quick flips that are out there and available
you can do this part time you don't have to do it full full-time i don't even do it full-time
so 487 dollars that i flipped into 540 just under 540 in two hours like it's crazy so these are
options these are things that are available like i said it's january right now and i am still selling
on fbm flipping that one product costing me 38 and i'm profiting 24. yeah it's not like 100 roi but
that's i'll take it it takes me nothing actually i just had some of them shipped to me so i didn't
have to go to the store i hope this video was helpful and encourages you to just start or keep
going or try fbm if you haven't because i actually like it it's a lot of fun i like shipping stuff
anyways and now that i've figured it out it makes it even more fun but if you want to sell on amazon
just go ahead and start because you'll learn as you go and yes it's scary and totally intimidating
it took me like a month and a half to finally make my first purchase but once you get going
it's a lot of fun and if you want help on gating or you want to join a community of other sellers
