Make Money with Retail Arbitrage in 2025 (Beginner Guide)
Retail arbitrage = buying low in-store or online and selling high. It’s a tried-and-true side hustle, and 2025 is still prime time.
�� What is Retail Arbitrage?
Buy discounted or clearance items from stores like Walmart, Target, or Ross — and resell them on platforms like Amazon or eBay at a profit.
✅ Getting Started:
1. Pick a niche:
Toys, electronics, books, clothing, beauty, or tools
2. Download scanning apps:
o Amazon Seller App (check resale price & demand)
o Scoutify or FBAScan
3. Start sourcing from:
o Walmart clearance aisle
o TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross
o Outlet stores, liquidation sales
�� Where to Sell:
· eBay: Low barrier, huge buyer base
· Amazon (FBA): Fast sales, hands-off shipping (but fees apply)
· Facebook Marketplace: Local flips = no shipping!
