[@Tracesoftradition]

Hey Nikki, Love watching you travel to source. Great video once again. You truly inspires me.

[@NikkiKirk]

Thank you!

[@signsofthetimes2971]

Hood River has a grocery outlet a Walmart and a Dollar Tree. Nice excuse to take a drive up the Gorge.

[@annehull571]

I'm so glad your folks live in PDX so we're not sourcing in the same stores when you come to town :D I'm further south in the valley!

[@Bryan_FBA_Seller]

grocery outlet is where i do most of my scanning :)

[@MohawkFlippinMike]

You’re not wrong! Travel sourcing is fun and exciting to add to a trip!

[@sarahfichuk6904]

I'm in Tulsa - I'll head to Oregon with you on a sourcing trip! LOL

[@mynameismr.solodolo1418]

22:26 I was selling the slimfast lemon drop keto cups until Amazon came in and undercut me and other sellers smhh

[@momopix2531]

HI Nikki . I love your videos . I have a question. retail arbitrage grocery . do you need to have food license or any special insurance?

[@anonymousalways1011]

Can you please do a video on how to use the app for sourcing. No one seems to show that.

[@NikkiKirk]

I did one a few weeks ago! It’s called product research and is probably just one or two videos back in my channel

[@jackieblandon78]

Hi Nikki, I am so glad i came accross your channel! I have been reselling in Mercari for over 3 years. How different is Amazon from Mercari on the reselling aspect? And what do you do with the inventory that doesn't sell?

[@NikkiKirk]

It’s very different, things sell faster and Amazon has their own systems you have to play within. You can make a lot more money, I buy stuff that will sell, I rarely have stuff sitting for more than 3 months

[@FactFactorOfficial_]

Hey Nikki, I love to watch your videos! All videos are very informative and inspiring. I just have quick question, do you consider sales rank while buying products? If yes, then do you have any specific criteria for categories? Thank you very much.🥰🥰

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes! It’s the first thing I look at. I have a free download that tells you my criteria and what I look for. You can get it here yoursellingguide.com/free-amazon-sales-guide/

[@wallacewalker218]

Hi Nikki!! Great video, thank you for the information. Are you relabeling the product with the Amazon SKU before shipping to Amazon for fulfillment or are you just packing them into boxes with shipping label? I didnt see anything about that in the video. Thank you

[@awealthofgoodhealth8696]

Hey Lady good job!

[@sacaloslots8577]

I'm starting to do just what your doing. The problem ia, as you know, Im not ungated in alot of brands. I'm buying stuff about 3 at a time from my wholesale supplier to get the invoices to send in. It's getting pricey and thats just in the health and beauty catigory. Do you have a better way? love your videos tnx

[@NikkiKirk]

Thanks! No there isn’t really a better way but those purchases are just investments into your business and once you are ungated you can then source stuff at retail for better profit

[@sacaloslots8577]

@@NikkiKirk thanks i didn't think so but just thought i'd ask. I appreciate the quick response. I just spent the last 2 days, on my spare time geting auto ungated in whatever i could🤣

[@debramcclam7123]

Hi Nikki can I take a product off the sell listing or its to late I didn't calculate the 4.99 credit on the fbm seller fulfilled app

[@awealthofgoodhealth8696]

You should consider doing one on one or group training Nikki. I would be down to learn more from you. I have been watching you doing your thing for a long time now and obviously you motivated me to get involved. What do you say?

[@angelvelasco5887]

Do you do tax exempt at all those stores?

[@KDFL-hf3ds]

Such a great video! I wish I could do this! Quick question, what else do you look at after looking at rank and if it’s profitable? Do you go to keepa and check other stuff there?

[@John2022-i2q]

Do you still living in the RV? I am looking to have this same lifestyle. Living in a RV and selling on Amazon

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes!! I can’t say it’s all that fun to live in it now that I don’t travel in it but when I was traveling for 5 years and all the lower 48 states I LOVE living in an RV! It’s totally worth it even if just for a few months or a season. I’m ready to start building a house now 🤪 (maybe it’s just cause we currently have no power either)

[@samanthalarochelle4655]

I didnt know you could look up if something was hazardous!!

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes!! So helpful. Sometimes it circles and thinks forever tho

[@JenniferInUsa]

I would like to know how you do with the cost of shipping that tends to be high for some places. since shipping is free

[@BrandonNelson-ki1ym]

Maybe a dumb question but I prefer to ask that assume. For someone who’s going to start RA and is going to reinvest there monthly profits, do I put away 30% of what I make each month?

[@richramalho]

Fantastic!

[@sabrinacontreras841]

Nikki thanks for your videos. I would like to know where can I get the estimated shipping to Amazon per pound price?

[@lizjackson8147]

I’ve noticed the rank change happening on a few times-where it looks good on the front screen but then on the next screen it’s a high rank. So I guess I’m not going crazy! Lol

[@danaklingler4976]

I’m curious if store employees or managers ever give you any grief about scanning items and hanging out in the store so long. I used to do retail arbitrage and FBA and I was also paranoid people would wonder what I was doing. I’m really wanting to get back into doing arbitrage & FBA again … I use to have so much fun doing it.

[@NikkiKirk]

Nope! No one really cares what we are doing in fact some managers and store associates bring me out more stuff from the back. You defiantly should get back into it! Perfect time of year for it

[@ChinyereDOTcom]

Thank you, Nikki! HAPPY Holidays!!! 🧡

[@dtaktlq1296]

Hello Nikki, I'm fresh new to this. Can you explain what should you do for beginners? Like what items should i get ungated or what items should i do first for my first time doing this? It seems like the items I want to sell need approval or the items is not restricted is not profitable Kinda feel like a maze right now Thank you Nikki, Great video btw

[@lizjackson8147]

@nikki Kirk or anyone else who may know! When you set up for a UPS pick up through private ship, can you leave items on your front porch or do you have to be present for them to be picked up?

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes I leave them out every time. The UPS driver is your normal one so they know the drill

[@GreatDealsDepot]

You are seriously the Sourcing King in my book. Amazing purchases and profits. Its always so interesting everyone seems to find their Special Place if you will. I have never had that kind of luck at Grocery Outlet. I mean it was ok but I just do better at other Stores.

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes! It is funny how we all can do better at certain stores that we like or know haha! There is truly something out there for everyone!

[@mynameismr.solodolo1418]

So just to be clear, when you find profitable items. You buy it on spot and instead of listing it and waiting for the customer to buy it? I’ve been doing FBM for 2 months now and hit 3,244$ in revenue🤧😮‍💨

[@dawnsaul9768]

I did something I shouldn’t of , I used a PayPal debit card to sign up so now , it said they will get back with me in 1 to 2 days. I’m assuming that’s why ? Will they reach out ? I can’t believe I missed that

[@angelvelasco5887]

After selling all your items from the listing (out of stock) do you close or delete the listing?, thank you in advance

[@User-ic3qf]

Does Grocery Outlet give legit receipts with the name of the items purchased? I’ve heard that some of them give old school receipts without the name of items.

[@NikkiKirk]

Yes

[@haveaniceday1955]

How do you keep track of cost

[@NikkiKirk]

@@haveaniceday1955 SellerBoard and quickbooks

[@austinpalm7968]

Everyone says the profit. But nobody says what they had to spend in order to make that profit. Guessing around 8k. I barely have 200 to spare after bills per month. It’s rough starting and having no credit.

[@NikkiKirk]

My ROI is under 100% so I’m spending probably $13k. I do show all the numbers at the end of the video. And yes if you don’t have money to start a business even a small amount it may not be for you right now but something you can work towards if you want it. I started with $1000

[@austinpalm7968]

@@NikkiKirk perfect thank you for info!!

[@austinpalm7968]

@@NikkiKirkif you don’t mind me asking one more thing. With that 1k. Did you start out with OA or RA. And whichever it was, did you do fbm or fba for those products to start out.

[@NikkiKirk]

@@austinpalm7968 I did and still do RA and FBA primarily but I FBM more now too that I’m not traveling in the rv all the time

[@austinpalm7968]

@@NikkiKirk thank you so much Nikki. This helps tremendously. So many stupid miscellaneous questions that when I type on google or KZbin, they show me a different answer because understandable, the question is too specific. Thank you!!

[@AnnaMontgomery-ph2oh]

Hey Nikki, What do you do when you have FBA shipment discrepancies? E.g. Amazon says they got 2 of 3 items in and the shipment is closed. I can now submit my reconciliation request and send the receipt that I own that 3 items. The problem is that I got it from Marshall’s and they do not add item description ( just states beauty) and labels the item with internal Id. Is there anyway to recoup from the loss of said item?

[@Blick405]

Adding comment to see answer

[@thatbrettkid1]

My question is how long will it take you to see all those $6000 back? Like how fast will all those 700+ sell?

[@NikkiKirk]

I went in May and sold $3000 profit in 8 weeks and I’ve sold out of the rest of it now

[@Gardenwithashleigh]

What does IP stand for?

[@NikkiKirk]

Intellectual property, basically a brand is saying you’re stealing or using their IP without their consent. Which you’re not but it just causes problems because we sell on Amazon

[@peggygfamilylife5251]

Could I please get help I’m from Tampa fl

[@andreacomiskey2249]

I think prate ship increased their fees

[@NikkiKirk]

I’m not sure I know most people get pickups for $4 but mine has always been $6 unless I was in Oregon in a city then it was $4 so I think it might be how rural OK is where I’m at

[@busy.with.it.]

I’m in Eugene and my UPS pick up is $13.50!

[@NikkiKirk]

@@busy.with.it. oh wow I would just go through UPS direct then, it’s only $9 but I would also call or contact pirate ship that doesn’t seem right. I did one last week and it was still $6.50

[@RosenberryHome]

Hi Nikki! When did you film this? Just asking because all those grocery outlets you hit are my normal stores so I’m trying to figure out how long to wait to go back so they can restock!

The first week of May

[@braveoni]

Pls I need to get trained on FBM. I sent you an email but you not responding..
