Hello guys.
I was wondering if anyone wants to split the cost of the Tactical arbitrage monthly fee with me. I only need a limited access to source

So, this can work, but here's exactly what happens. You find a product on Tactical Arbitrage that sells on Amazon at a pretty good margin, and you buy a lot of it, but by the time you send it in 30 other sellers have done the same thing because they all saw it on TA as well. So now you're in a price war, and you're either forced to sell it at cost (or even a loss), or you have to wait for 2 or 3 months for the other sellers to run out of stock. I'm not saying this can't work. I've found some good products to sell, but it was more from my own research and not directly from TA. It's a pretty good tool though for knowing if you're eligible to sell a product and the history. EDIT: I stopped using it after the free trial because I didn't think it was worth it, but I encourage you to try it and see what you think. More on reddit.com

When I did RA/OA I did the long hold, clearance, discontinued items only just for this reason. As you said, if you're finding the deals with TA or other scraping tools, everyone else using them is too. It took a while for me to build up the capital from Amazon profits, but I spent roughly 5k a month only on clearance, preferably discontinued items, mostly toys, as there is no expiration date, but some consumables with long expiration dates, and just waited until the other sellers exhausted their supply. Otherwise, I found that everyone sent their stuff in at once and the race to the bottom began. With clearance (at least 70% off), if I just sold at the original retail price the profit was enormous. Popular discontinued items? Could get multiples depending. The challenge of course is that clearance and discontinued items are not replenishable. Also having to wait to sell your items. It's the primary reason I moved away from the model, which was right before Amazon's seeming crackdown on it. Unless it's changed, Amazon's TOS does not say RA/OA is forbidden, but when sellers are asked for proof of purchase, receipts aren't being accepted. Of course you will only read about it on the seller forums when people need help. You'll not hear from people who aren't having issues showing proof of purchase with receipts so who knows.
