📖 The Hustle
Open wholesale accounts with brands and distributors, buy products at 40-60% below Amazon's selling price, ship to Amazon FBA, and let Amazon handle everything. Use Tactical Arbitrage to scan hundreds of wholesale catalogs and find products where Amazon's price is consistently 2x+ your wholesale cost. Automated repricing software keeps your offer in the Buy Box 24/7. The wholesale model is more stable than retail arbitrage because you build ongoing supplier relationships and reorder winning products monthly.
🚀 First Step
Register an LLC and get a resale certificate, then use Tactical Arbitrage's free trial to scan wholesale supplier catalogs and find 5 profitable products.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Get ungated in major brands slowly — start with categories like home and kitchen that have fewer restrictions, then expand into gated brands as you build sales history
- Use automated repricing software set to match the Buy Box price (not undercut it) — winning the Buy Box at the same price as competitors protects margin
- Re-order winning products monthly and cut losers after 60 days; inventory that sits at Amazon FBA accrues long-term storage fees that eat profit
