#1033: Why RA isn’t dead and what you’re...

Jim Cockrum
About this episode

Is Retail Arbitrage (RA) outdated? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, Brian and Robin Joy dismantle the myths about RA and explain why it’s not only alive—but thriving. Learn how RA can accelerate your Amazon business, uncover hidden inventory goldmines, and build your confidence faster than online arbitrage.

 

Plus, discover the secrets behind underserved ASINs, why buy boxes disappear, and how to capitalize on regional sourcing advantages without ever stepping foot in a store. You'll also learn why fewer sellers can mean higher margins—and if you’re tired of chasing crowded listings and razor-thin profits, this conversation will change how you view the Amazon selling landscape.  

 

The episode we referenced on the show today is #1032: From full-time woodworking to his first $10K month selling on Amazon with zero e-commerce background https://silentjim.com/podcast/episode-1032

 

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I put Jeff Schick's team on retainer for a few dollars per month, does it only cover Amazon?"
