- Hey guys what's going on today?
I'm coming to you live from the cornfields of Illinois.
As you can see a little change of scenery
and I'm here visiting my family
and in today's video I'm going to be going
over a tactical arbitrage scan
where I ended up finding an item
that does a little over 2K profit a month on Amazon
and I'm gonna be going over it live so you guys can see
in depth by thought process and the idea
for this video actually came from you guys
in the Facebook group where I just asked
what video do you guys want to see next
and that was the most popular answer.
So if you want to input on the next video,
feel free to join that in the description below
and also by crash course on the software
get started scanning profitably
within your first hour of getting your membership
is also live as well.
That is in the description below as well.
Now, in this video I'm going to be going over a live view
of the software.
At the time, I really had no clue what I was going
to find and I ended up finding an item,
like I said, that does a little over $2,000 a month
in profit and I would have sourced it had I not posted it
in this video.
So obviously I'm not recommending sourcing
this particular item.
If you do so, do so at your own risk.
So with that being said guys, I hope you enjoy this video.
Okay guys, I have a couple hundred items here to go through.
Now this is two different stores.
Normally I do two scans a day and so we're gonna
be going over to different stores: pet store
and a beauty store I believe.
And so that way you know you guys
are gonna see some different examples here
and also it's gonna be live so none
of this is gonna be edited.
I have no clue if there are any good items.
So we're about to find out.
Now before I actually start scrolling down,
I wanna point out a few things.
You can sort your data at the top of how you want
to see your data and this is how I have mine set up
because I don't wanna scroll sideways.
I wanna be just scroll down, I wanna be quick,
I wanna be efficient and when I start scrolling sideways
it wastes time.
So if you notice I have the product title here,
I have the Amazon title here so if I click this,
this takes me to the website.
Click this, it takes me to the Amazon title
and then I've got the 90 day rank
and this current sales rank.
I wanna see, okay, is this item had been selling
well just now or has it been selling well over the course
of 90 days.
And then also over here you can see I have the buy box price
on Amazon and then how much I can buy it for.
And then the gross ROI which...
You know the gross ROI isn't necessarily right,
but it will point me in the right direction.
So, I'm just going to go ahead and start this.
As you can see, I've already sorted by gross ROI
which is what I like to do.
You know you can sort by sales rank.
This is just what I like to do and what I'm going
to do is I'm going to scroll down.
Now, like I said, I'm just gonna voice
to you my thoughts here so you can see what I'm thinking.
So immediately when I see something
that is 1022% I'm thinking that it's not the same thing.
There's nothing that's gonna be a 10X.
You can buy things that have fat margins but not that big.
So what I am intrigued by
though the picture does look the same.
So what I'm interested in is, okay I'm gonna actually click
on Amazon listing and so I'm not actually thinking
that this is going to be the same product.
I am curious though and I want to know the difference.
Also, side note guys, you can actually get
some amazing ideas for private label products based
on some stuff that's selling.
No one ever really talks about
this private label product research method,
but it is definitely a good one.
Now what I want to do is to find
if this is even the same product
is usually you can find the UPC code somewhere,
but look at this like, okay this looks more like
what's on the listing.
So 299 and then this is 349.99
so this is not looking like the same product.
I'm not really gonna try and do too much research
on it because it's wasting time.
So let's go ahead and scroll over here now.
Okay, I see something that's 887% ROI so
if you already noticed this is a pack of five.
Now sometimes I won't even click on it.
You may not be able to tell us
if you just hover the mouse over
you can see if it's like different quantity or whatever.
Sometimes if it's like a liquid or a cologne,
you can like hover over it just to make sure.
Now I'm gonna do some quick math guys.
Okay, so this on Amazon is selling for 169.99 pack of five.
It's selling for 14.99; 15 times five that's $75.
That means that if I buy these for 75 bucks,
I'm gonna have to buy five of them
to match the Amazon listing.
We'll get this rank and selling for $170, okay.
This I'm interested in.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on here
and I'm gonna click on here.
I always want to make sure it's the same thing.
Okay, so it's out of stock, right?
I may not do this immediately, like I may click
this little heart and save it.
But other times I may just, if I've got like an hour block
and I can do this, I'm just gonna do it all in one shot now.
Let's say I've got 15 minutes.
I may just do this quickly, like click
this little heart goes in my safe list
and then when I get more time I can go over my safe list.
It's really just about how much time do I have blocked out.
If I can block out 30-45 minutes, I'll just knock it all out
in one shot because you got to keep in mind too.
When you get near the bottom of a list,
you're just gonna find items that really
aren't even worth looking at like especially near the bottom
it's not going to be profitable.
Okay, so something I noticed over here is
that it's not even saying the buy box was the right buy box.
Okay, so used like new that's the reason why.
These people have this new at this price.
So I wanna know what's probably happening here?
Is that the 15-14 used white new as the one being sold?
Which is lowering the rank
and the sell through rate of the whole listing.
So it's showing the new, the 169.99 is actually selling.
So let's see if this is even selling
which it actually looks like it is not very well
but it is selling.
So I would actually be interested in...
But what's happening here is none of these are FBA
so I'm gonna check, is this a hazardous product
which I can sell but you want to check that
and then you also want to check,
can you even list this to begin with?
And I'm going to Google this one later
and see if that's around anywhere else.
Can I list it?
I might buy that.
Okay, so I'm looking at these Sheba sticks
and it's looking like there's gonna
be a quantity difference.
So immediately what's going through my mind
is because I had to buy five, I'm not even going
to look at it.
So now what I want to look at...
Okay, this is why I have the pictures right next
to each other because this doesn't really look
like the same thing but every once in
a while the picture may look different
but it's really the same.
So I'm just gonna double check here
and I'm just going to click on these.
Okay so now that I go to the actual listing,
it's looking like this is an actual door
and this is just the key, so it looks like
it's part of the same item, it is different.
So I'm just going to move on really quick.
Now this one right here, I'm just gonna skip over because
if you look at MS dash five PX dash one
there are two completely different model numbers.
And like I said, when you're still in this 500% ROI range,
you can just bet,
usually they're different quantities
or just a different model.
I'm just showing you guys like normally I would just
be scanning very quickly.
I just wanna show you guys the thought process.
So here's an example of where you can't see the amount
on the product list but I'm guessing
it's not gonna be profitable.
So we have 1.7 ounces for sale on Amazon,
which is 160 bucks.
But then we go to this listing and it's saying
that it's only $27 which I'm assuming
that it's in different quantities
and it's taking the lowest price point of the quantity.
Okay, so 1.7 so this is 72 bucks for 1.7 of nest
and I'm guessing maybe the Amazon Westin is the one
that's not taking the right number because if so then
this is really profitable
but I'm guessing there's gonna be a mixed up here.
Okay, so there isn't a mix up, this is why you work.
It looks like the same quantity.
What worries me here is 19 left in stock.
So is this even actually selling? I could scroll down
and see the kipa and I'm also gonna run the FBA calculator
over it just to see the Seltzer rate.
This isn't in beauty, so it's gonna take
a pretty high sales rank for this not to sell.
Okay see only five of these you're selling in a month
and that's an estimate.
It's probably... Okay, so I scroll down I'm looking
at the kipa and I noticed
that this price point has not been tested very long so,
the $187 has been around only
since June 8th so a couple of weeks.
Okay so it has sold at this price point.
I'm gonna check something really quick.
Okay, so it has sold... I mean it depends
on your business model, right?
Like for me, my business model is I go
after a lower ROI things
that sell quicker than higher ROI things that don't.
So, I mean this is pretty profitable
but it doesn't really look like there's a whole lot.
This guy is 19?
I don't know like I'm probably gonna pass on it.
Okay so we're going back down.
This doesn't even really look like the same thing.
Five pound, 14 ounce can, that's not even the same thing.
Okay we're at the 273% threshold here.
Okay so this I'm just glancing
at the picture here guys, I'm not even gonna look at that.
Okay, so I go over here and this is five you
can even see from the listing, the Amazon was Dean's five.
This is just five in the product.
I would have to spend 25 and I would lose money on that.
Also something to you guys look
at this; sales rank 47,000 which is good.
But then the 90 day rank is 158,000 now.
In my filters, I haven't set up to where you know anything
under I believe 80,000 and 100,000 something like that.
So it's only going off current; this is
why though I wanna see 90 day because I wanna see
is this just something that sold quick?
You know, recently you don't know.
So I'm going to keep scrolling down.
Okay, I've actually looked at this product before
on another search.
This is a completely different one.
This is part of it.
Okay, so let's see here.
Smart ECAT hot pursuit electronic concealed toy, buy
for 16.99 extremely great sales rank sells for 65.99.
Okay so now, and I'm just showing you guys,
like I said, sometimes I go back over these items
while I'm doing it sometimes I don't.
So let's just see, is this even the same thing?
Like what's the profitability looking like?
And keep in mind guys if this is out
of stock, I'm selling this or I'm looking to Google as well.
Okay 16.99 that looks to be the same thing.
You know, obviously I would double check
the UPC codes 130 a month, the profitability.
Okay let's see what the actual buy box is;
that's something I didn't do
and I didn't check kipa as well.
So I only want new and prime.
Okay so it's back ordered at 47.99.
Okay I'm just gonna see what this thing is selling at.
Okay so it hasn't really been at this price point
for too long, but even when it was at $30 and 71 cents,
that's still good profit.
Looks like increase the sales rank making
it sell through lower obviously,
but that's still a really good rank guys
like 10,000 sales rank that's still really good.
I noticed Amazon was selling it
and now they're not even on the listing, so that's good.
Number of offers decreased, I would definitely buy
this because, okay, so if you look at here, 16.79 is
what it used to be selling at and it's been selling through
it all of these price points.
So when it was selling at $47 and 83 cents
it had a sales rank of about 8,000.
Okay we've got some third party FBA 47.99 they're
on back order.
So they've sold all of the ones that they had.
So I mean this is a great product assuming you know
it's not gated and it's not hazardous
and you know you've got to check these things well.
Like I said, I mean I'm feeling pretty confident about this.
I'm probably going to buy them all.
What I'm getting at is that I'm probably going
to stop scanning now so I can actually
maybe find some items myself to source.
I won't source this one because I'm putting it in the video.
But this item is great.
Like even though you know some things I wanted
to point out is that, okay, so the price point is recent,
Amazon did sell an Amazon on the buy box.
The reason why I wanna go ahead with this is
that an FBA seller has sold all theirs,
so there is a demand there that has been tested
and now we can put that to test as well.
So I probably guys I wouldn't source this
because it's in this video, but the theories there
and then I would just scroll down
and keep doing the same thing.
I mean, I don't know how far I'm into this video,
but I've already found an item that I would source.
Like I said, I haven't gone over my settings, I haven't gone
over really anything else just going over a live scan,
which I didn't know if I was gonna anything or not.
You know, there was that good of an item right off the bat.
Let me know if you guys liked videos like this.
Is there something you want more elaboration on?
Let me know in the comments section below
and I will see you guys in the next video.
