hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video i am here in my truck studio so you know
what that means today we are going sourcing if you're new to my channel my name is nikki
kirk and i've been selling on amazon doing retail arbitrage for four years now and today i'm taking
you sourcing with me to target now target is a little different one because they are not reseller
friendly like maybe i shouldn't be talking so loudly in the parking lot no just kidding
i've never actually had any problems in target but they are not reseller friendly they have a policy
against resellers so if they ever catch you or you're buying out everything in stock they might
tell you no sorry we're not going to sell to you again i've never had any problems i've been doing
it for years so i'm gonna head in there and i think my game plan target is interesting because
i always get a little sidetracked because i am totally a target girl i love to shop at target
and get a little sidetracked in there but today i am limited on time so i'm going to go
to toys is always my go-to and i will probably go through the home because you know if they have
the magnolia hearth in hand you can usually find some good stuff there
i will also go through the grocery coffee area and possibly the beauty where i do have stuff
that i am replenishing so i'm gonna go in there i'm gonna film some stuff take notes
as always along the way and i'll meet you back here in my studio truck for a recap
okay so the first thing when you walk into target is obviously the ladies clothes so
i did get slightly detoured because if you didn't know target has the best most comfortable pajamas
so anyways and that's basically all we're wearing anyways okay so i did get detoured for about 20
minutes but so overall actually scanning i spent two hours i was in there for two and a
half hours so it's like two hours and 10 minutes we'll say that i was actually scanning although
because i recently scanned bras at ross i did scan the name brand bras not the target brand
but the name brand bras and there are some in there none that make a profit but definitely
something to keep scanning because you just never know when they will make a
profit so right after the sleepwear is the baby aisle and i used to scan the baby aisle often
when i was new because someone shared a lead from the baby aisle and so i was always getting these
baby aisles trying to find leads i did find a couple leads if you did not know target has
their own app i'm sure you know that you can use it to scan and see what the prices are but also
you will find discounts in there so i scanned this munchkin milk cookies lactating cookies for women
and they are on sale for 10 off and not only that i saw that they have a different price online i
mean it's only a quarter off of what the price so they're on shelf they're 21.99 but online they're
21.75 and they will match that i mean if you save a quarter save a quarter but like usually it's
other toys is where i see it more they're cheaper online so i'll have them do it at the cashier they
will price match it to online you just scan it and show the cashier so back to these uh cookies so
i was actually restricted in it so i went ahead and asked for approval and got approval now i'm
approved to sell them and when i was scanning this one it's out online amazon is sold out this is how
you can tell so all i did was go to cuba see what it was selling for and after i have that
information so 34.99 i go back to skin another similar item same size so it's going to be the
same price and all that so i went ahead and scanned those and that's when i inputted the
price so it doesn't make enough profit for me to buy it doesn't mean my five dollars but not only
that even if it did meet my five dollar minimum profit it is only 25 roi i'm spending near twenty
dollars after you take the ten percent off and only getting less you know five dollars back
if i'm going to be spending that much money i want to be making at least 10 dollars so 50
roi not 25 so then i continued on down the baby aisle and i scanned all the different gift sets
that are there and the reason i scanned them is because actually probably two years ago i
was buying these a grocery outlet so i always use past history to like lead me in scanning so
obviously i saw it and i was like oh yes i know that those sometimes go for a lot of money
and look at they do go for a lot of money so that was something i found here at target
here's a few more that were on sale so you can make a little extra profit found at target and
here's another one it's on sale there are no fba sellers so you can actually increase the price and
possibly make a little more money it is not making five dollars now but if you increased it it'd be
almost five dollars i mean depending how high you can increase it because amazon will price alert
you they will restrict the price to an amount they think is reasonable so for some items if they
don't think that's a reasonable amount they will deactivate your item and you'll get a price error
so really you just want to scan everything and i know that it can be frustrating when you're new
but if you go down a new aisle like i haven't been down that baby aisle in probably a year or two
just scan everything and also this is just a side note i don't know how people
afford kids because some of that stuff is expensive but anyway so always scan i mean it
for whatever reason the baby stuff is where i start to feel bad like i'm ripping people off
in general i don't really feel like that because you don't have to buy it on amazon you can go
wherever you want but for whatever the baby stuff i think it's just so overpriced for what it is
here's another something that happened in the baby aisle so i scanned this and it came
up and anytime you see anything that is target exclusive walmart exclusive no matter what the
store is if you see an exclusive you want to scan it because it's often harder to find so i scanned
this one and it came up in home electronics but when i checked it on keepa it's actually baby
but regardless that rank when i checked on jungle scout it says it sells zero and i already knew
that was too high of a rank and baby and there's already four fba sellers so i was going to pass
on that one but that's here at target if you don't mind waiting it out a little longer next i headed
over to the toys and there was some clearance on the toys because they are getting ready to
reset for holiday christmas stuff right now so there was some clearance items on sale i did
find some and i cleared the shelf and literally took the whole shipper they were 6.99 and here's
how much they're gonna make i can't remember at the moment and then i found some limited edition
versions of a toy that i have sold in the past so it's a new version and limited edition and
bundled together they are going for crazy money so here's that again i cleared the shelf i bought two
shippers of those and i know i just said like don't clear the shelf but you know no one cared
so clear the shelf here is a star wars item that is on sale right now at target and i the ranking
toys is really really high but when i checked in on keepa over 12 years it is coming down around
christmas time last year so the chances are good based on the rank history that it goes up and down
that it will sell but i left them here because i mean it makes a decent profit i just couldn't i
mean it's just too high of a rank for me around christmas time i will go up to like 200 250
000 but almost 400 000 was too high for me i did go scan through the home and lawn area or outdoor
lawn area because there was very little because they're about to reset for back to school so that
whole area is going to be back to school pretty soon but i did scan some of the hose outdoor
stuff nothing came for a profit but it was worth it to scan it then i headed over to the coffee
aisle and i did find a couple winners in the coffee aisle and they're on sale so normally
whenever the k-cups are on sale at target or even just the coffee bags is when you can find the
better deals so there was a couple on sale and if you can go have the time to type in the good and
gather target brand coffee those are actually on amazon so you can find listings of bundles
or sets sometimes like a few different flavors together so if you have the type it's worth it to
type it out and see if you can find anything that makes profit especially when they're on sale and
then lastly i headed over to the perth and hands magnolia and there are things there so i'm going
to flash a bunch of different ones up right now some of them don't make enough profit but you it's
another one where you have to literally go and type it in to see if it's going to make any money
so there are some there that do make money and you can literally just spend you know 30 minutes
to an hour just typing in every single thing and then yeah any of the store exclusive type things
always are on there they're just not you're not gonna be able to scan the barcode to bring them up
all right so that was sourcing target i got a lot of toys that's usually what i always get at target
um but yeah so i hope this video was helpful and just helped you know where to scan for target
so again baby toys i don't know that there's a lot of unrestricted categories that you may if
you're gated it might be harder to scan at target also target ebbs and flows sometimes i don't find
anything like really q4 is my favorite time to source target sometimes i don't find stuff at all
and i always end up getting sidetracked but that's beside the point i hope this video was
helpful let me know what other stores you want to see me go source at i spent 600 and i want
to say that it's probably on the low end going to be 500 profit so 500 two and a half hours
at target so it is definitely worth it if you can take a long lunch or just go after work or
go early in the morning before work i'm not sure how early target opens but yeah it's definitely
worth it thank you guys so much for watching i hope you have a great week and happy sourcing you
