Are you looking to make some extra cash quickly? A simple and effective way to do so is by utilizing Amazon’s FBA retail arbitrage, and one great place to find products for resale is at Costco.
Recently, a savvy entrepreneur was able to make a whopping $1400 in just 3 hours by sourcing products from Costco and selling them through Amazon’s FBA program. This retail arbitrage strategy involves buying products from a retail store, such as Costco, and reselling them for a profit on Amazon.
The entrepreneur in question visited their local Costco and found several products that were selling for a significantly lower price than their retail value on Amazon. These products included items such as electronics, kitchen appliances, and beauty products. They were able to buy these items in bulk and then send them to Amazon’s fulfillment center, where they would handle the storage, shipping, and customer service for the seller.
Once the products were listed on Amazon, they quickly began to sell, and the seller was able to make a profit of $1400 in just 3 hours. This impressive result demonstrates the potential profitability of retail arbitrage when done right.
So, how can you replicate this success for yourself? Here are some tips for making the most of retail arbitrage with Amazon FBA:
– Research products: Before heading to a retail store like Costco, do some research on Amazon to identify products that are selling well and have a good profit margin.
– Use the Amazon Seller app: This app allows you to scan barcodes and quickly see the selling price and Amazon fees for a product. This will help you determine if a product is worth buying for resale.
– Consider seasonality: Certain products may sell better at different times of the year, so keep this in mind when choosing what to buy.
– Calculate costs: Make sure to factor in the cost of purchasing the products, as well as any shipping and Amazon fees, to ensure that you will make a profit.
– Build relationships: Develop relationships with store employees and managers, as they may be able to alert you to upcoming sales or clearance items.
By following these tips and being strategic about what products you choose to buy and sell, you too can potentially make a significant profit in a short amount of time through Amazon FBA retail arbitrage.
So, if you’re looking for a way to make some extra cash quickly, consider giving Amazon FBA retail arbitrage a try. With some research, strategy, and a little bit of effort, you could potentially replicate the success of the entrepreneur who made $1400 in just 3 hours with a Costco haul.

Hi sir can you teach me a bit how i start in amazon.
Which product i sale.
I am new .
Please guide me .i shall be very thankfull of you
So how long did it take to sell all those shoes?
But you guys make it so easy and its not!! You cant just sell Adidas on amazon like that. You need to request approval! And you need a invoice from supplier or a letter from the original seller authorizing you to sell those adidas shoes. Guys if you reading this comment , NO, its not that simple, you cant just sell anything on amazon. They never mention this part, not sure how you sell those adidas shoes but you need approval to sell these shoes in amazon and since you bought them from Costco you dont have an invoice from the manufacturer, and not sure if you have a letter from the seller. But well , good luck
Where they all the same size?
How are you sure they'll sell
just watched this video how much was the shipping cost for that
Yeah but didn’t say how long it took to sell them
what was the process to get ungated for adidas ?
Can you post the actual sheet showing your initial investment of the units purchased. And after all returns and revised balance from any negative hits.
Maybe you can afford bigger shorts
What app do they use to scan your product to see if it's a good deal
What do you do get approval
May I ask if you got an invoice for these purchases as amazon usually asks for invoices?
How did you get the invoice? And did you use costco business membership card or executive
What App did you use to scan the sneakers while at Costco?
Question for you , instant return? how long does it take for all that to sell ?
So you have to box them for UPS? I thought UPS would box them for you? And doesn’t UPS give out free boxes?
When do you get paid? Is it all at once or you make the money per shoe once is sold?
The adidas, and another brands need to be approved before right?
Confused, you are speaking as if the shoes are already sold, don’t you still have to sell them from you account on Amazon? They just hold them for you until they sell?
We don’t need brand approval? To selling addidas on amazon?
Are Birkenstocks good with fba? Any IP issues?
Nice video, but you lost me on how spending $1400 was a good one when you only making 800+ profit on all items together? do you get paid something else plus your profit ?
I just saw this video. I scanned a box of adidas on Amazon app and states that approval is required to sell Adidas. How do you go about that? If it was explained later in the video I apologize for asking 🙂 my style of learning thing and for them to stick is seeing and doing.
hello how do you know which size of shoes to buy? thank you
Hey looks cool!! You guys mind sending me your seller ID so I can look you up on Amazon? Your seller rating must be right through the roof!! You should have no problem letting all these YouTube subscribers how your seller rating reveals all!!
They accept Adidas brand with out get permission from them and sell on amazon ?
Y’all didn’t make anything until it sells
What is the seller rank on thosev
What did you use to scan the price in. THANKS
How long does it take you to sell all 114 units? 3 hours is time to buy, prep and ship. Its not time from amazon inventory to sold isnt it?
Can anyone sell Adidas on Amazon, you need permission first, can you tell about how to have permission from company.
How do you know what the estimated shipping costs to Amazon are?
If the product was about $20 a piece and you bought 114 pairs then you’ve spent $2280. So if the profit was only $1400 then you have lost $880. Is there something I’m not understanding? Please explain…
And yes you sent them to the Amazon warehouse but i heard you dont actually get paid until your products sell.. right? So its really not 3 hours.. so the real question is how long is the wait time until your last pair of shoes sell?
Where did you get your intel/info, on the fact that they sell 200 pairs per day? Is there like a sheet somewhere or is it based off on just people buying them?
Where did the tip come from to hunt down that particular shoe, in the first place?
yea but half of them are gonna get returned by buyers and if youre doing fba amazon will throw the returns out
Title is misleading. No way you literally made $1400 in 3 hours. Facts!
