Use the Amazon Seller app to scan clearance items at Walmart, Target, and Big Lots. Look for toys, beauty products, health supplements, and pet supplies marked 50-75% off. The app shows the current Amazon price, sales rank, and your estimated profit after FBA fees. Buy 10-20 units of a winning find and ship them to Amazon's warehouse. This is the classic retail arbitrage model that thousands of sellers use daily.
🚀 First Step
