Heather, you are so generous! Thank you for sharing this -- I love your approach and your ridiculously useful guidance.
My sells were in the gutter, selling books, DVD, Cd to the point I was thinking of a real Job, YIKES! I was clicking the YT when I saw your. I watch all of them, some 3 times,, I went out the next day and hit a Home run. Now I can't go in a store with out scanning items. My sales for 30 days over 6k. Your Video's change the way I source and Save my Buss, Thanks Charley
This video is solid gold for Amazon sellers. Short and concise. Great work.
Thank you for all the tips and BOLOs. I just started my Amazon journey and you are so helpful. Thank you 🙏
Hello
Heather 😊I love watching your videos!!! I’m from NJ a and do almost the same exact thing with squirreling away some HTF items for a later time!! I sell mostly Health and Beauty only on EBay!! Please keep the videos coming😊
You have a new subscriber! Thanks for keeping it real! I started reselling this year to help pay for a series of surgeries I have to have due to dental malpractice in Mexico (please don’t be tempted by the low price don’t have dental work in Mexico!). They botched some root canals and leaked dental cement into my sinuses now I’m 30,000 in debt have dentures at 49 and still having surgeries…. Anyway enough about me, I just wanted to thank you for your video. I was pleasantly surprised the more and more I got in to it… now I am a subscriber! Thank you
God bless! Keep grinding and never lose faith.
@@antoniovillanueva1119 thank you so much! I think staying busy reselling and with the fundraiser keeps me too busy for pity parties of my own so it’s a good thing ❣️

Wowzers….you are amazing with your knowledge and very impressive with your finds! Who would have known about these items if they didn’t watch your video👍. Great job and keep up the great work?
First video i have seen of your. Always great to see a fellow reseller and youtuber. Nice finds, keep up the great work
LOVE your editing !hanks for the pics and overlays. I know it's a lot more work. I really appreciate it!
So refreshing to see somebody keeping it real. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you heather. This video provided me with an insane amount of value. Ive been doing retail arbitrage of just books for months and I am trying to expand. After researching asin's in this video I am gated on a lot of this so thats my next step is to get un gated.
I never knew there were toys in the grocery store until I saw some Legos on the clearance table today. 😳 great video
Great video, super informative. Just sitting back sippin my robitussin and enjoying the info!
Well you are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this! I like that you are being so transparent. So helpful for beginners like me. Subscribed!
Great video! I've always wondered if CVS was good for retail arbitrage. Hopefully I begin getting auto ungated in some of these brands. Thanks for the grocery Lego tip as well.
Good evening. First time seeing your video and amazed at all that can be resold. I am definitely will be adding arbitrage to what I do now. Thank you for your tips and help.
hi! just take into consideration that some of this resellers use different apps for which you pay a monthly basis and a lot of this products need you to be undated first. I used the idiots guide to reselling online (hehehe) a very useful guide. you can find it at the public library.
so happy I came across your channel I was very big into toys but you showed me a whole new side to explore
there is always need to have other people to share the game to you
Love your videos! Well put together and great information 💗. Your time in putting them together is appreciated!
Resellers help the environment by keeping good merchandise out of the landfills. Keep up the good work!
First video that I watched! Thank you Heather 🙌👏 subscribed!
Love your videos! You are such a blessing, Heather! Thank you for all

Also, have sold a ton of dolls thanks to you!
Thank you for being so open and honest!
Love watching your IG! Thanks for this helpful video!
I just learned some stuff, thank you!! And your transparency is appreciated.
Great video. Really appreciate the transparency.
Nice video, I like the editing.
My first time watching you! Great Video! :)

This was a great video thanks for the info and honesty.. Beginner here
I love the formats and info in your videos! Liked and subbed, thank you!
Excellent video and info; thank you for sharing.
Heather how about some more videos please
We just recently found your channel on UA-cam and have learned so much from you. Thank you for all of the information that you give and all of the products that can make us money. I was wondering what website you use in order to look at the pricing history on specific products.
Keepa
New subscriber, thank you, great work!
You're fairly local. Hmm. All my favorite chains. Yup all that can be hard to find so hopefully tanking is minimal.
Thanks
loved this style video! Educational and interesting
Just subscribed!! Thank you so much for sharing with us 😉
That's awesome profit for you, but geez the prices seem like a scam on Amazon that is such a huge difference in price. However, people choose to buy it. Congrats that's awesome. I find Amazon way to intimidating
thank you very much. you are very smart. thank you.
Great video
Thanks
Thank you Heather ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks 😊
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you very much for doing this very helpful video🥰
Thank you for sharing I want to expand my knowledge in reseller. Are using the amazon app to scan the products? When sourcing
Thank you for sharing 🙏💐
Thanks!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm glad that you say to stay away from recalls
Im a reseller on eBay and Etsy. My question is if people can buy the retail price at stores, why are they paying the higher price on Amazon? Please explain this to me. I would get in my car before I would over pay.
Thank you for making these awesome videos. Do you have a bolo list or an Leads list
I do not currently but I'm working on putting something together
how you unlock every brand? or can you unlock a categorie and that's it? how?? can you do a video or explain?
Awesome video. Im gonna give it a shot today :)
I watched twice! This was packed with great info!
I do love your videos and learned a lot. Question could you share your websites that are your go to for sales etc. Or is there a video that you share this? Full time working Mom thrifting on the side.
Fellow ebay seller here, Menards has off clip ons on clearance just not in my area. Check there website for inventory.
Great video as always. Question ! When no one has de buy box Means the product is out of stock or an IP problem ?
Amazon removes the buy box if the price is too high but they can still click through "see all buying options" to purchase
How do you find products that don’t require the ungating process when starting RA?
Great video
what is that tool you use to find brand shortages and hot items so you know what to look for before heading inside?? Thanks for your help!
Heather, how do you get ungated to sell all of that items? Does CVS provide invoice? I´m starting.
You must be FBA, because I'm FBM and AMZ has gated me on almost everything I source.
Have you sold any pesticides or virus killing spray cleaners recently? If so, did you include an EPA number? Do you know where exactly you're supposed to put those numbers?
I tried selling a bottle of Formula 409. They told me that since it kills viruses it's classified as a pesticide. So I'll have to include an EPA number. I put the EPA number in my description and they removed my listing saying that I must include the EPA number. I told them I included it in my description. I haven't heard back from anyone yet. So I was wondering if there was a certain place that the EPA number was supposed to go?
Great RA video. Thanks!
Where would we go to find health and beauty recall information ?
Great content thank you
Awesome video, thank you!
"Resellers are bad people, they are price gouging"
They hate us cause they ain't us
Thank you!!
Great vid! Over in the UK the various apps say that Loreal is one to avoid for IP claims, but do you find its ok? Nivea is another to watch out for, but I've seen plenty of sellers go for them.
This is great content!! Is the off hazmat?
The listing I used for the refills was but the fans were not
So many great bolos! The license plate is hilarious lol. I wonder what her profession is....gynecologist?
Great video and great finds!
Thank you!
Are these stores giving you invoices otherwise how will you ungated them?
Great video. I have a question. All these items do you sell on FBA or FBM. Thanks in advance.
I sell a mix of both
It seems like just about everything I scan needs approval. Is there anyway around this.?
Great Video congrats on the success. What are some tips you would give to beginners of retail arbitrage? I resell books on Amazon, however I am looking to expand into different methods of making money. What were you scanning products with? The seller app?
Yes just the seller app
@@CosmicDealHeather if you are just starting how do I know what products to start looking for?
I follow you on IG & I love how genuine you are! Always providing great info for us newbies!
it is all about just starting to do the thing instead of watching many many videos on the internet even learning is important
Thanks for keeping it real Heather
So are the invisi gels discontinued? I couldn’t find much information about them!
Great video :)
I have had issues with the hair color and Clip ons, but when sending they show as hazmat?
Yes if you're sending to Amazon you will need to be part of the hazmat program for those products
Hey! Awesome content. I do have a question though. What do you use for product photography? I was originally going to start with wholesale but realizing it’s hard to land a wholesale account. One wholesale account would have given me an account, but I need to at least have 10 products. For wholesale many are using a product photography service or a really nice camera.
Amazon is easy because you don't need your own photos if the product is aleady listed. But if you're selling on ebay I'd suggest a light ring and a white background or a pop up lightbox. If you look in my description I have a link to my Amazon supplies store where you can find the lightbox I personally use in the "other supplies" category. You can also give the app "photoroom" a try. It will automatically remove the background from your photos.
Wondering if you have to pay sales tax to the stores? Thank you for the content!!
State specific
Do you have to have a special license for these category of items you picked up? Are any of these categories gated for new sellers?
How do you get around Amazon requiring a receipt? They told me I couldn't sell anything I did retail arbitrage on because of where I bought them.
Thanks!!!
Do you take all the orange clearance stickers off?
I always remove the price stickers
So you don’t have to buy 10 of each item?
You inspired me to go out and do retail arbitrage for my first time since I sell used books only. Question why do you stay away from the diet category ?
It's mentioned in my suspension video
I checked out my local CVS. This CVS didn't seem to carry those Raid bug barriers or the OFF clip ons. I found the Raid bug barriers at Target. I scanned one with my eBay app. The Sell Through Rate wasn't good. It only had an STR of 7%. Do they have better ranks for Amazon?
Was it the blue ones or the red ones? The red ones are not worth it. It has to be the old blue ones.
@@CosmicDealHeather
Yeah it was a red one. I'll look around for some blue ones.
Also are they cheaper at CVS? I figured they'd be cheaper at larger stores like Target,Kroger and Ingles.
For you, what is more profitable, Amazon fba, or eBay? Also, the prices you sold to Amazon, can they be priced the same for eBay?
I make more of my income from Amazon. You can not always price the item the same on both platforms. Most of the time it sells for more money on Amazon but there are rare times where the eBay price is higher.
Loved your video. Are you ungated in over the counter products and how did you do it? Thank you
I am ungated in OTC. I ordered from a wholesale company that had Tylenol and used the invoice.
Thank you. Would you mind telling me which wholesale company you used?
What happens when you buy a product and then it goes down in price while Amazon is still holding your stock? Do you have losses in those cases?
No I just keep holding until the price returns, which can take a while. I don't take a loss if there's no reason to.
New subscriber here and 😱 I love your video. Question as a new fba seller . Are some of this items hazmat ? Can I send them to Amazon I will hate to buy them and then return them. Hope you can let me know . Thanks 💕
Yes the hairspray and for some reason the off refills were hazmat. You can only send hazmat in to FBA if you are approved. You can still self fulfill if you are not eligible for hazmat.
@@CosmicDealHeather thanks
How to magically get the access to sell these products especially when a lot of these famous brands are not allowed to be sold on amazon unless you are a distributor for those companies or somehow gained access?
It's not magic. You get ungated with time, sales volume, or paying for wholesale inventory.
@@CosmicDealHeatherI was selling for about 5 months and could not get ungated in anything. It was so discouraging. Every time I requested to get ungated, they wanted wholesale receipts. Do you have any suggestions? I really want to try again but it is so frustrating.
Just to be clear for me. Hazmat just means that this is an FBM product correct?
When i can't list because an item is unavailable is there anyway around it? Cause there are still people on it
Waiting for product to ungate OTC. That's will open up a whole new world. 😂
But still my monster margins come from Books, DVD, and CD. Nothing beats buying a book for $1 or $2 and selling it for $50 😂😂😂
Hazmat means it is considered hazardous by Amazon (like hairspray due to flammability or pesticides). Not everyone can do FBA hazmat, but you will get invited eventually if you sell enough. You can self fulfill the hazmat yourself FBM.
@@CosmicDealHeather exactly! ty
Doing arbitrage, do you do merchant fulfilled from home or do you send to Amazon?
I do a mix of both
On average how long does it take from the time you list it to someone buying it? I'm very interested in doing this. Do you do any kind of marketing to sell the products faster?
It can vary quite a bit. Sometimes things will sit for far longer than you expected. I do not do any marketing on Amazon.
What is the timeline from when you ship the items to Amazon to when they sell and get paid?
It can vary greatly because the items have to be checked in which can sometimes take a month or more. Then you have to wait for them to sell. Which will depend on your price and who else is on the listing. FBA is not always fast.
@@CosmicDealHeather ahh I see. Thank you for responding!
How are you getting ungated for these items.
