You’re welcome ☺️

I like that you didn't go buy out entire stock of things that people really go looking for, you got stuff that won't be missed locally so much. I appreciate that

[@MissKat702]

Nikki 12-hour RA Rock Star!😎 Extremely helpful that you showed products along w/ their #s. As always, my deepest gratitude💖 For anyone wondering if you should buy Nikki's Ungating Guides... most definitely! We bought the bundle of both guides. I've seen other guides cost twice as much but only covering one category. Nikki's guides are packed w/ all the info you'll need and very reasonably priced. Plus she has private FB groups for each guide w/ nice helpful members... and Nikki always helps too! And if you're wondering, Nikki did not ask me to post this. I've been meaning to give her a shout-out because it's evident that she put a lot of hard work into creating her ungating guides. Thank you again Nikki for all your hard work!👍💕

Aww thank you Miss Kat!! I'm so happy they are helping you! 💞

Are you purchasing one item at a time or several of the same items ? ( ex: 1 soap or like 12 soaps) loll hopefully it’s understandable!

[@pablobamaca6709]

@@mahagonnymonai4170 best way to do it is to get multiple of the same item if they are available of course and they also have a low selling rank. ex. 1 of item for 5 profit vs 10 items x 5 profit per item=50 profit

[@davidberger4886]

How was it?

[@krisyas3136]

How’s it going?

[@richardhaynes7433]

Also just because it doesn't have a rank doesn't mean it doesn't sell. It just means that it sells at a slow rate. I have products that I sell with no rank and where there are 2 or 3 sellers with high profits and I sell one or two a month. Now if there is 20 sellers I would not do it, but if the sellers none or just a few I take the chance. If you only can get one or two they will sell. And in toys especially.

[@ek4183]

I’m in the process of getting approved for Amazon and have a few concerns/questions that I couldn’t find info anywhere. This video was extremely informative and helpful.

[@sosod4707]

Hi how do you start didn't even know needs approving

[@ek4183]

@@sosod4707 They have two methods, one is if you are selling as a individual which shouldn’t be hard to set up an account. Second method is for legitimate Business, this route you need all the documentation that proves your a legitimate business in your state and go through a process. Didn’t take me very long, if you’re interested in doing this type of work you need to understand that it’s definitely not easy for beginners and getting ungated is easy/hard. Easy if you have distributors(just need to show a invoice with 10+ items in category) hard if you’re solo with no distributors. Not impossible but a lot of leg work. Just like with everything the leg work and your dedication will make it succeed or fail.

[@mzzzol]

Im trying to make 2 shipments per week. My wife was working and I told her to quit and Now she is helping me Im so excited for the help of my wife. I also manufacture clothes and I make patterns, I cut the fabric and I sew the products and I list them and I ship them is a lot of work. I think in the future you need to manufacture something because everybody is going to do RA and no products for nobody. Im from Mexico living in Texas, Im fashion Designer and have a Master Degree in Publicity and Marketing. Now is the time to make money on Internet. Regards Nikki

Just a general question as I have been looking into retail arbitrage for a while. How long do these items usually take to sell in general? Months ? Weeks?

Depends on item. Some of my items sell before they even reach the warehouse. And some stay for 3 to 4 months.

[@taylorhiltz9648]

Hi Nikki, I'm interested in getting into doing this, but I would love to see how much profit you actually make after you factor in shipping. How do you factor it in? Do you send things in in bulk? Would love a video explaining this process.

Taylor, I do this also. As a rule after all is said and done around 20-30 percent some items 50 percent but on average the 20 -30 is a good percent range is a good number.

When you show your profits does that number reflect a deduction for your shipping supplies (boxes, tape, freight) to get items to Amazon? Love your channel BTW.

Michael Hughes thank you! On this one I am showing the numbers after freight. I don’t have boxes and tape in there but it’s likely $10 more for that. I get my boxes from Walmart for $1.44 for the big boxes. I’ve no idea how much tape is but I buy 6-10 rolls maybe every 3-4 months.

Your PROFIT is $361.82, NOT $2000, thats $30/hour if you were out for 12 hours, but I'm sure you were out for longer since you still had to go to Walmart and ship everything after the part where you said 12 hours, so that goes down even more.
