Anthony Bodanza - You've mentioned that people are divided about the speed that you talk at in your videos. I'm firmly in the you frequently talk waayyyy too fast. Unfortunately, this often occurs when you're most excited presenting an important point. For example, at around 00:25 where you state your profit goal for shopping at WM for an hour, it's unintelligible. I played it back a couple of times. I had to listen to it at 75% speed setting in order to understand you. (You are the ONLY YT'er I've had to do this in order to understand.) This wouldn't be quite such a problem I YT settings allowed me to slow your videos down to 90 - 85% of your published speed. Unfortunately, it's 75% or else which is slow and adds minutes to watching your videos. You have one of the better reselling channels going --- your transparency about hurdles such as stale inventory and other challenges is refreshing. If you believe that the opinion on your rate of delivery is 50/50 in your audience, I'd suggest that many people who share my opinion exited and, therefore, the sample drawn from your current audience does not represent YT viewers (your potential subscribers) generally. Just My $ .02. EDIT - I located the "Custom" speed button. :)
I think RA in the UK is much tougher than over in the US. I walked through a TK Max and scanned for hours until my battery went dead on my XS Max and only found about £100 of goods, with perhaps around 35% ROI on average. Nothing that wasn't discounted was profitable. Absolutely no toys, just health and beauty items. Where as for OA, this morning I spent about £600 in about an hour on one website with a similar ROI. I've had similar runs in our Asda (walmart) and found nothing at all, where you always find things in your versions. Over here, I think RA is only decent if it's intelligence led - meaning that a group has already had a member learn of a massive discount on products, so all the members of the group can then go rinse the stores. Otherwise, random sourcing it just unfruitful. PS - just spent 5 hours packing and uploading the info for my first FBA box. Although it took ages, it was packed like a Tetris pro :-D
I went sourcing today for the first time and every product I scanned on Scoutify was either not on Amazon or I was restricted from selling it. Any advice?
That's the hardest part of the business. Especially when you're first starting out. Keep at it and scan everything. Make sure you scan top and bottom shelves. Often the middle shelves aren't going to be profitable for you, but are most profitable for the store. Check smaller and regional stores as well. They don't have as many resellers scanning them and are often profitable. Best wishes!
Hey Anthony, I am working on a private label product and I will be using helium 10 , if I want to start doing some retail arbitrage what software or app do you suggest on top of helium 10.. I could use your affiliate link to help you.. thank you
Thanks for the vid brother knowledge always shared! Also is it a GoPro you use with a wireless mic? Mind sharing a link I’ve been on the market for a wireless mic
Sure! This is what I use - amzn.to/3NPlATC . It's not a wireless mic, it's internally recording and I sync it in post to have the best results and not worry about wireless connectivity issues!
Was looking into possibly reselling items since I'm such a cheap skate with a knack for customer service and logistics. I'm always in clearance sections and come across pretty insane deals. However, after watching what it's like, it's not my style. Thanks though! I'll stick to what I know best, trading crypto, stocks, etc.
Maybe Inventory Lab can compete with Seller Amp if enough people suggest it? Maybe a certain TH-cam influencer could poke the Inventory Lab bear? I think I will write in too, even though I know they know? 🤔✌️ Thanks for the videos Anthony!
Walmart clearance is dogshit right now
Always is lol
yeah it's totally seasonal!

I understood that part just fine. Different areas of the country talk at different speeds. 🤷🏼♀️
thanks for the feedback both of you, Im working to do better for everyone

I bet, I've heard it's a lot tougher there!

Great video, thanks! I’m confused about how you use a separate scanner linked to Scoutify. How did you link them and which scanner do you use?
I have the scanners in the description but I'll put links below too, you add them via bluetooth and they work like a keyboard
amzn.to/3IJ0upp or amzn.to/3o4WExa
Newbie here Why do you scan clearance items on the walmart website? And if price is higher online why is it a bad thing?
using the app is to see the in store price, it's bad if it's priced higher online because that's the price it will reing up as

awesome! Definitely not for everyone, great to know what you actually like and stick to it!
Heads up, As seen on TV, has been known to hit people with IP
good to know, thanks!
So you can use your resell certificate at self checkout?!?
no, I bought the boxes there because they weren't tax exempt-able! I had to use the regular register
