🔬 How does it work?
1. Go to stores with name
brand discount racks
2. Look-up prices of
discounted items on ebay
3. If good $$$ gap, buy them
4. List on ebay
5. Return those you don’t sell
within ~14 days
💰 Start-up costs?
● Enough to buy 2-3 key
items
● Discount sneakers, ~$50 a
pop x 3 = $150
💵 Margins?
● for example:
● $90 on ebay
● $70 in store (discounted)
● = $20 margin
● ~28.5%

● $150 to spend
● 28.5% x $150 = ~$43 each
time round
⏳ Time investment?
● 2 hour shopping trip
(buying & returning)
● 1 hour listing/selling on
ebay
● 2 hours packing/posting
☢ risks?
● Don’t sell an item..
○ Return it!
● eBay Customer return..
○ Relist it
○ Return it!
● Customer fraud..
○ Report it
