Anyone done retail arbitrage? Might be a way to make some extra money.

Sam Cohen's business works like this: He walks into a big retail store and buys a bunch of stuff. Then he sells it on Amazon for more.

This is a multimillion-dollar business for Sam — and for lots of other people who do the same thing.

How is this even a job, much less an industry?

I've considered it, but I'm always afraid I would get the shaft. Have esp. thought about it when a new game system, etc. is released. There's a guy on the OG named ShoeMoney who is supposedly pretty famous and well known and makes a lot doing it.

Warning: He's a direct marketer, so beware of spam and offers to become an affiliate, attend seminars, etc.

yeah, that's the downside, there was a big stink with target the last couple months, they released a new line and re-sellers bought it all and relisted on e-bay

so target banned the re-sellers
