this is exactly how I use bricks seek
now there is a three versions of brick
seek okay there's the free version
there's the $9.99 a month version and
then I think the other versions like
nineteen or twenty nine a month I have
the $9.99 a month one because that comes
with some of the premium deal access as
you see here but I'm gonna run you
through and show you exactly how I vet
products how I go about acquiring these
products and then how I sell them back
online for a profit okay you can use
brick seek for strictly online arbitrage
and finding deals with you know some of
the online deals as you'll see right
here like online electronic deals and
online toy and game deals right and then
you can vet them just like any other you
know online arbitrage potential product
get it shipped to your house shipping
into FBA or fulfill it you know merchant
fulfilled selling it on Amazon or sell
it back on sites like Poshmark Macari
and eBay and other sites like that right
so there's a number of ways to use it
for today specifically I'm gonna show
you how to find retail arbitrage deals
that are at Walmart's targets and
potential best buys near you using brick
seek so I'm gonna share what I've been
doing lately that's really really been
working wonders for me and keep in mind
too when you actually do buy these
products a lot of people use brick seek
so the BSR or the bestseller rank can
tank pretty quickly so it's important to
keep that in mind when you're actually
buying these products now one of the
best things about buying products like
this is you're getting up you know items
and listings when you check them on
Amazon obviously like I'm about to show
you here in a second that have really
really high sales velocities and low
bestseller ranks okay so even though the
bestseller rank can tank a little bit or
you can get into a pricing battle
initially sometimes if you wait on a
product you can always flip it for a
profit usually because like I said the
listing it has high sales philosophy or
in that other case where you get into a
price battle either there there might be
you know five sellers on the listing or
there might be 50 and usually when
you're doing online arbitrage the way
that I teach it in a lot of my videos
those are listings that you want to stay
away from but because these listings are
so you know kind of have high sales
velocity and the best seller rank is so
low you can actually afford to if the if
it's for example selling 50 sales a day
on some of these listings or you know 20
sales a day on some of these listings
and there's 50 sellers well then you
don't need to actually steal the Bible
- and drop your price because other
people have reprice errs as do i and you
know you might use a reprice or whether
that's you know a repricing website or
service out outside of amazon or using
the automatic refresh so that comes in
seller central everyone has to repress
or so if you try to steal the buy box on
these items right here like i'm gonna
show you you can run into pricing
battles and then people just drop the
price and the price tanks so instead
what you want to do is you want to just
match the buy box price and then you're
gonna share the vibe rock buy box with
every other seller you won't sell it
right away but you still will sell it
really fast if you're vetting products
the way that i'm going to show you here
and everybody wins right because then
everybody gets to sell it at a higher
markup and not you know you're not
having that race to the bottom pricing
so enough explaining it let me jump in
and show you some products that i would
go ahead and source so what right off
the bat what i like to do is i'll check
some of the premium deals and i'll see
okay is there anything here that stands
out to me that i can make good money on
now i could potentially make good money
on this one as you'll see here that it
potentially it could be selling at up to
one hundred and eighty dollars and at my
price right here at a Lowe's near me is
a hundred dollars right so that's a
potential eighty dollar markup but I
like this you know look for products
initially where the risk is a little bit
mitigated right so where I'm buying
I'm spending less maybe like five to
twenty bucks and then the margin is
usually like seventy to seventy-five
percent sometimes fifty if I just want
to double my money so let me show you an
example so right off the bat and I
actually check this one out yesterday so
I'm not gonna click on it but typically
speaking this one would jump out to me
right so I will actually run you through
how to actually do this one and then
we'll find some good deals examples
right so this one sixty-seven percent
off at you know targets near me or at
least that's what it's saying here on
brixey so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
open up in another tab now it's $9.99 at
some targets near me and it sells
potentially back on Amazon for 60 bucks
so let's check it out
so we're going to come in here and we
want to hit click check inventory at
some of the Target stores near me now
what that's gonna do is that's gonna
tell me you know based on my location
that I put into brick seek where these
these you know potential deals are
whether they're at Walmart or sorry
whether that Target Walmart Best Buy or
if they potentially sell back on Amazon
and one of the great parts about brick
seek is if it does sell back on Amazon
it will show you what it sells on Amazon
for and you can check that information
out right so because I'm looking to
potentially go into retail stores by
using brick seeks data
purchase a number of these quantity at
the low price that they are that's why
I'm using the website right and then
potentially resell them back on Amazon I
real I'm really interested in what
they're selling for on Amazon so that I
can potentially send them into FBA or
merchants to fill them for a profit
so what the whole reason I'm telling you
this is this is a bad deal right because
it was selling for $19.99 even with the
deal and yet it might be selling
normally at $60 in certain places as you
see here with the MSRP but back on
Amazon it's only selling for 1839 so
that is a bad product and one that is
not gonna make me any money so let me
check out this one right here we'll
check out this one right here and I
remember checking out this one yesterday
and it doesn't have an Amazon listing if
I remember correctly so let's check it
out this one right here and let's check
out this one right here as well so what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna come to all
three T's I'm gonna hit check inventory
so it starts to load and remember I
haven't set any this up I haven't looked
through any of these I'm just sourcing
through this like I would any other
potential they show you examples the raw
steak of these products so right here
off the bat this is you know I'm buying
it for four dollars but you can see and
this is an example that I will show you
once we actually find a decent product
look there's four here at the
cinnaminson new New Jersey Walmart which
is you know somewhat close to me hits
about eighteen point two miles away
there's three here at the Levittown one
so if this were a good product what I
would do is I'd come down and find out
okay where is this selling and I would
go pick these up or what I would do is
call instead and this is a little caveat
for some of you out there that already
used brick seek but are having trouble
finding products I would call that
actual Walmart and have them set those
aside for me so that I don't have to
rush there immediately and go
frantically looking for them I would
call and say hey I'm showing that you
guys have four of X item in stock can
you set it aside for me I'm gonna come
pick it up right now and then they would
and then what I would do is I'd come
down I'd call the Levittown one and I'd
say hey I'm showing that you guys have
three of these in stock you know do you
still have them in stock oh okay great
are they really are they priced at four
dollars
okay great can you set them
for me I'm gonna come pick them up and
then what I would do is I'd have seven
of these items that I could potentially
resell for a profit now with that little
caveat more revisit that once we find a
good product this is a bad product
because even though you're getting at
four dollars like it said here the MSRP
was about fifteen but its selling back
on Amazon for six forty five in new
condition so this is another example of
a bad product now this one right here
this looks promising right off the bat
somewhat it's selling for 15 bucks
roughly on amazon.com now there are
seven in the Hatfield one which is seven
miles away from me there's three in the
Wil Grove one which is three miles away
from me and there's two and five so
there's a lot of inventory here now keep
in mind too that this one is selling at
nine bucks at this one so I probably
want to avoid that because all the
Walmarts don't always have the same
pricing so that's why it's important to
use brick seek but I could definitely go
out and get three of these right here at
will grove which is super freakin close
to me and I could also get where's the
other one right here Philadelphia eleven
of these East Greenville three of these
so there's a lot of stuff in stock of
this potential product it might be a
good one if there's money to be made
here so we're getting it at four dollars
it's gonna retail on a Mazar sell on
Amazon for about 14.95 that's the buy
box price right now now is it a good
listing now it does have two stars which
kind of you know does jump off the bat
for me right away as you know a
potential indicator of a bad product and
it's a hundred and forty thousand
roughly in toys and games so what is
that actually selling it's selling about
twelve a month and one daily sales so
actually this is somewhat of a low sales
velocity and it's actually hot a lot of
us a low sales velocity but let's
pretend that I had a good best seller
rank let's see if we could actually sell
it or if we're gated in this toy
category so I can actually sell this new
collectible condition so this would be a
potentially good product if it were
selling a little bit more now what I'd
like to do next is I'll check with this
online seller add-on right here if you
know what who else is selling it how so
how many other sellers as you can see
here there are five but more importantly
how much quantity of those do they
actually have because if you look down
the list and you know certain people are
selling one or two or three quantities
then yeah they're gonna sell out fairly
quickly and you can load up on quantity
knowing that their inventory
is gonna run out pretty quickly okay so
it's just something I like to use in
another step and cog in the process that
can help you out and really understand
and indicate what's selling on the
listing how many those those actual
sellers have so that you can utilize all
that data to make an informed decision
on how deep you want to go into this
inventory right if there's a lot there
there's a lot of sellers and they all
have a large quantity chances are you're
gonna be sharing the by box for a while
with a lot of people so you don't want
to go in deep on that inventory you
don't want to buy like twenty to fifty
potentially maybe you only want to buy
five depending on how many sales it has
a month the next thing that I'll do is
I'll actually use this extension as well
which shows me the FBA calculator so I
don't actually ask a Google FBA
calculator every single time right
usually what I would tell people to do
and I didn't mean to hit Chrome
extension there I would just hit FBA
calculator and take me to seller central
to the revenue calculator now you can do
this every time if you want you don't
need to download the extension what I
like to do is I like to have the
extension installed so I can literally
just get all the data right away I say
run the calculator right here and then I
simply just type in my product cost and
how much my shipping potentially cost
would be into FBA right so my product
cost was $4 right my shipping cost if I
buy like five of these or ten of these
might be end up being like 30 cents so
what is my net profit margin after all
is said and done well my net profit
margin would be negative 1 point 5
negative dollar 56 per unit so this is
probably a bad product if I buy it at
that price now the key indicator here is
it might be a little bit bigger and
might weigh a little bit more and might
take up a little bit more their shelves
so if I weren't fulfilling this and I
could obviously check this on the FBA
calculator as merchants fulfilled if I
wanted to and see if I can make money
merchants fulfilling this so what I
would do is I would take that as I am
into the FBA calculator to see if its
profitable to merchants fulfill this and
you don't have to merge them fulfill I'm
just giving you more you know tools in
your tool belt essentially to make money
with this and these are actually
examples of bad products but I'm running
you through all the different ways that
I source and all the different things
that I'd go into my mind when I'm
actually doing this to see profitable
products so the shit the item price is
14.90 seven the cost of my product would
be four dollars so what my net profit
margin be before my shipping now you can
put your shipping in here with the cost
of seller fulfillment and just
put it into the ship to customer right
here so if I'm gonna estimate that it's
gonna cost me $5 to ship to my customer
you know based on whatever shipping the
options used for a merchant fulfilled
then I calculate it it's gonna tell me
that okay if I'm merchants fulfill this
it cost me five dollars just ship it and
I priced it at fourteen ninety seven and
I and I pay four dollars per product
that I can potentially make three
dollars and seventy two cents in that
profit for every product that I purchase
so I don't usually merchants fulfill
these I usually ship them into FBA
but I'm just giving you another tool
that you can potentially utilize to make
money if you want to so next thing right
off the bat jumps out to me for this
listing that makes it bad is it's nine
dollars on Amazon so that makes it a bad
product because I'm buying it for 450 so
let's find a good example of a product
and source through some so come down to
more deals near me and we're gonna find
a good example of one I'm going to find
one for you so right off the bat this
Panasonic high-speed toaster let's check
this one out now it is only 40 percent
or 40 percent off but you're buying it
for $59 and 11 percent of the Walmart
stores and it the MSRP potential is 99
dollars on Amazon now this is a little
bit of a higher risk product cuz you're
spending $60 per product but the margin
might be like 20 bucks for that so
that's you know maybe that's like a what
33 percent return on your investment
fairly quickly now there's a lot in
stock not nobody's going after this
product for that reason so let's check
we can sell it it does the price at
those are 60 bucks so that's a good sign
let's see if okay and this is a good
example this is why I'm going through
and showing you all of these now there's
nothing listed here for Amazon so that
could indicate that they don't have the
Amazon sales data or that it's not
selling back on Amazon so you could buy
this and sell this back on eBay but I
don't personally like to do that with
brick seek so what I'll do is I'll take
that in and I'll paste it in and look
for this so Panasonic high-speed toaster
oven
Panasonic high-speed toaster oven and
because there's so many here I don't
even want to get involved in this but
that's the process that I do I check to
see if I can find a listing that is
exact now since we didn't find any
legitimate deals there what I'm gonna go
is I'm gonna go to into deals right here
and I'm gonna sort for in-store deals on
brick seek and that's gonna take me to
this page where I'm basically just gonna
sort through some deals now this is a
good
potentially a good product but I've
already checked this yesterday to find
out that there's nothing in the stores
near me because everybody's already
cleared it out so you'd potentially sell
it obviously a lot higher on Amazon you
buy it for 50 bucks so that's a bad
product now this isn't actually a good
product that I was about to buy
yesterday and I got sidetracked so let's
see if it's still a good product that I
can show you an example of so you're
buying it for five dollars up you know
in 6% of stores so the inventory might
have gone down there was more of this
yesterday when I actually checked it and
the MSRP on Amazon is close to 50 bucks
so this is a great example of a product
if there's inventory to get it so we hit
check inventory obviously and the way
that I'm gonna do this like I said is
I'm gonna call the Walmart's and have
them set it aside and make sure ahead of
time that I can sell it so it looks like
the price has dropped slightly I think
it was like 45 yesterday or 44 I could
be wrong on that it's a good opportunity
here for this product it's selling 40
dollars on Amazon can I sell it and
what's the best seller rank now it's a
great best seller rank so this is a
perfect example of something that's
gonna move a lot of products fast as you
see here it's 767 in beauty and personal
care so it's selling a hundred and forty
daily sales 4255 a month so this is
moving freakin fast so if you get your
hands on this inventory for five bucks
apiece and it's selling at $40 that is a
great example of a product and there's
only fourteen new sellers on this so can
we sell it and we can sell it a new
condition so this is a good product now
there's fourteen new sellers on here
let's see what their inventory looks
like so we click that add-on right there
and for the gut for you guys that want
to know this add-on it's online seller
add-on right there as you can see up in
the right-hand corner it's very easy
just download it on the google chrome
store so everybody on this listing looks
pretty decent except the only thing that
stands out to me is Amazon when you're
buying deals like this you do usually
want to stay away from Amazon although
they will share the Baba and that's
exactly what I'm seeing right here look
so 46 bucks
47 that's where it was yesterday it
looks like Amazon literally jumped on
this listing and now they're listing at
40 bucks
so they undercut the entire market so
I'd recommend if you buy this deal is
just match Amazon's price you don't want
to get into a bidding war with them and
they have about a thousand quantity
maybe even more that it
here because you can only ever see up to
999 quantity so that said I would still
because the margin is so good you're
buying it for $5.00 you it's moving so
many so fast remember it's literally
selling 139 a day here on this listing
so I would potentially go out and buy
this so let's look at the inventory so I
always stay away from limited stock
because that usually means that it's
just the display model and usually they
won't sell it for it to you so it looks
like there's three here in Philadelphia
which is somewhat close to me there's
two here in Edison Eddystone which is
somewhat close to Philly it's not
necessarily close to me but it's close
to Philly so far going into the
Philadelphia store or into Eddystone
obviously then you know I would call
both of them and get five of those
there's also in Warrington which is
super freakin close to me there's three
to five but they're not selling key
thing here is they're not selling at $5
at the Warrington store so that's
something I would want to stay away from
so all these are also in stock but
they're not selling at that five dollar
markdown so the only things that I would
potentially do are I would come into I
call Philadelphia and be like hey guys I
see here I'm showing that you have three
of item X in this case it would be the
wall Clippers right okay do you still
have them in stock okay great you still
have them in stock okay are they still
listed at $5 okay great can you set them
aside for me I'm coming in to pick them
up all being in an hour or two great and
then they set them aside I don't have to
rush there to beat everybody there right
same thing with Eddie stone okay you
have two of them okay they're still in
stock okay great they're $5 set them
aside for me I'll bend it being to pick
them up okay so I'm gonna run you
through the FBA calculator to show you
what I'm gonna make here if I were to
pet potentially get these five right
here and call them so the price the
product price let's drop it down let's
assume we're gonna lose a buck on it and
then we'll match Amazon's price at 38
just just for kicks and giggles my
product cost is $5 my shipping into
amazon cost if I'm buying five of them
will say $0.50 roughly and I'm
estimating that guys for a total net
profit of 20 to 27 per unit for this
actual right here and that would mean
that if I bought five of them at five
dollars that would be I'm spending
twenty five dollars to make potentially
twenty to twenty seven times five so I'm
making a hundred and eleven dollar
profit
plus obviously the money that I'm
getting back right so I'm making 111 $35
profit by spending 25 bucks on this
listing so this is an example of a great
product that you want to go out and
source you can afford to sit on this
inventory for like a week and match the
buy box price because it's selling so
many units very very quickly and the
margin is super good
