hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video my name is nikki kirk and i'm out here
doing retail arbitrage sourcing looking for things to send in fba and i currently just finished up at
my second walmart of the day and i thought i would take you with me as i go to source five below
so last night i did as i always do before i go outsourcing which is to go through the
bolo list so i have two bolo groups one that is quarterly where every quarter it opens up and you
can join it's limited in space and then it closes again after about a week into the quarter and it
won't open again until the following quarter so right now we're getting ready for q2 so it'll be
opened up for you to join if you want to join the q2 group or i have my regular bolo group that is
just open to join anytime it's a month-to-month group and you can join it try it out whatever
you want to do i really like it it's my baby of a group it's the first group i ever made
so that is also available to join so anyways what i do every night before i go sourcing is
i'll pull up the lists and make my own list of what i want to look for based off of that list
so i did that last night and there's some items there from five below so i thought i haven't
been there in a while let me just go and check it out and i'll just go ahead and take you with me
so why don't we head on over there and as always i'll fill you in on how it goes
so
okay so the first thing right off the bat i walked in and saw peeps so i just kind of did a bee line
that's the correct term anyways i went straight for the piece so with peeps and kind of any kind
of cheaper easter candy or any seasonal candy on the cheap side you do have to look for bundles so
i did find some bundles here is just a few that i found relatively quickly here when i first entered
the store it is a lot like dollar tree in that you have to really search for a listing you have
to take a photo of the front you have to type it in you have to do a little bit extra work to find
the listings here i was able to find all of these peeps just by doing the front like taking a photo
so yeah just make sure that you're always digging a little deeper because things don't generally
just come up or especially with peeps if they do they're gonna be like four dollars on amazon and
when they're 1.25 here that doesn't make you any money and then by searching like typing stuff in i
was able to find these easter eggs obviously they don't make any money but i just wanted to kind of
show you that stuff is in there if you want to dig and hunt a little harder i think a lot of sellers
new sellers specifically or maybe just sellers in general i'm not sure really like dollar tree and
five below because they appear to be cheaper but when you start scanning and like half that makeup
i scan in there i'm like i could get it off amazon for cheaper than five below actually so it's just
little things to watch but the store definitely it takes some time to go through it all okay so
back to my peeps so i found this gift set and so i just typed it in gif peeps gift set like literally
what it says and i thought that it actually found it but i did not find it so upon further research
when i looked at it closer up you can see that that peeps is an eight pack of peeps and what i
had right here was a four pack so i did a little more searching and i did find the four pack but it
doesn't have a rink and at this point it needs to have a rank because easter is it's still
probably six weeks away but it's close enough that if it was going to sell and have a rank it
would have one by now so i passed on those but i just wanted to show them to you as a reminder
to double check that you're selling the same thing it has to be the exact same thing actually
what i did a lot in here on top of searching by name in the amazon seller app i actually went
to amazon.com product paid like website right like i'm a customer searching and i search the
items i found so many more listings that way so here is some jelly bean example i scanned the
front i scanned the barcode and these listings didn't come up but i went over to amazon.com
searched there and i found a ton of listings so here's an example of one i found that way
they also have edible grass now i remember these from a couple easter's back so i knew they were
in there and here they are they don't quite make five dollars but you know another great
example of a lead you could find here if you are fine with profit under five dollars when you're
getting it for on the cheap side now like i just mentioned it's not necessarily always cheap here
but if the item you're getting is cheap then it is good to just test you should test everything
in your business to see what you're comfortable with so just because i want five dollars profit
you might be fine with smaller profits so just make sure you're testing overall though don't go
too deep in something because i don't want you to lose money in your testing or you know you want to
be making money at least but so just test with a couple not to lose a lot of money so they really
have kind of everything in there so i skipped past all the clothing stuff because it's a lot
of generic stuff but they did have beauty items so i went ahead and scanned beauty stuff i scanned
the toys so here's the toy it doesn't quite make five dollars but it they are coming up in amazon
either by scanning the front or scanning the upc's and then here's a sidewalk chalk i've
actually sold this before i can't remember if it was spider-man exactly but it was a sidewalk truck
from here so when i saw them i made sure to scan them the rank is a little bit high right now but
it's totally fine because um summer's coming and they're all gonna start selling more so this was a
good one that's here at five below here's another toothbrush set that was in the health and beauty
area it only makes four dollars profit i believe is what i can't remember here it is for you though
and so again if you're fine testing that go ahead and test it and then i went through and i scanned
the makeup it's mostly la color and wet and wild but you just never know sometimes if it's a
something popular people want and they can't find it well it might be on amazon for more so i just
went ahead and scanned everything and then this is a perfect example but i wanted to highlight here
you always want to make sure of the rank so obviously this is a very high rank but if you
just got blinded by that profit or what appears to be profit then you might be like thinking or
just not even seeing the rank but here's the other thing to watch out for on this one it's a bundle
so it's not just one again when i first scanned it on the front screen i couldn't tell it just
had the rank and if you're just looking at the profit going oh wow it's going to make twenty
dollars profit and then you go in and you see it's a bundle and it doesn't actually make any
money at all so just make sure you're always looking for those hidden little things now
if you ever see that package quantity and you're thinking that's weird that
it doesn't look like it is go ahead again and go to the amazon.com product page like a customer
and read through the whole product page read through the reviews double check see what the
customer thinks they're getting if they think they're getting one pack or if there's nothing
on the page that makes it look like a bundle it could be a glitch in the app so just double check
always because you again want to make sure you're selling exactly what the listing is and they also
have a pretty decent table of books most of the books that i scanned they were all coming up as
hardbacks and these were all paperbacks they did have some word backs but those didn't come up
anyways so here's one that looked promising it's a book i'm aware of and so i was like oh cool
but again notice the rank and notice the category it's not in books you can go pretty high in books
i would say you can go up to a million in books pretty comfortably but this one is actually in
office products and i just went over to amazon.com again to double check because sometimes the app
glitches for some different weird categories like home and stuff like that sometimes it's a glitch
so it went over there just to double check what category it is and it is an author's product so
that one would just sit forever and not sell so i left it here i did not purchase that one here's a
couple other books again they are too high of a rank for me but i just wanted to show them
to you of what's available here at five below so yeah they really have it all they have different
kinds of candies like you can spend quite a while in there again i would really look for bundles on
all of those things toys you're gonna have to do a little more searching again i would probably
search on amazon.com more than in the app because it'll be easier to find overall i gotta say it's
a lot like dollar tree when i go to dollar tree i'm really going for the seasonal stuff so the
easter stuff here was decent but other than that it's really kind of you know hard searching didn't
find a lot of stuff always just kind of under five dollars so that was my experience at five below
again i whenever i come here it's usually i go to the seasonal toys and that's pretty much it but i
hope this video was helpful if you want to know what i'm actually buying and what i'm actually
selling definitely think about joining the bolo group again i have the quarterly q2 bolo group
or you can go ahead and join the regular bolo group anytime it's always available i'm in both
all the time i'm sharing these every time i go outsourcing so come share leads and go
sourcing with us and all your fellow sellers it's a really great community and i'm super proud of it
thank you guys so much for watching i'll see you back here for another amazon selling video
