Summary
This just might be the highest margin inventory you will ever sell on Amazon. I'm talking about discontinued items where the DEMAND is rising and the SUPPLY is shrinking. Until now it's been a bit of a guessing game for most sellers to find the golden opportunities.
However, today on a new episode we discuss the incredible opportunities behind sourcing and selling discontinued items on Amazon.
Introducing the launch of:
ProvenDiscontinuedSourcing.com
You can even learn to source these right on Amazon, hold them for a few weeks or a couple months and flip them right back on Amazon at crazy markups as demand predictability soars...
It only makes sense that some items would go up in value once they stop being made. Are you selling any items like that? Do you have a system for finding them consistently?
What if you could get ahead of these discontinued trends and stock up a bit of the hottest items right before they vanish?
That's exactly what our guest today has been doing for several years with Incredible results.
He's selling products for $30 that he sourced for less than five. He's making net profit margins that are off the charts in many cases.
On today's new podcast episode we show you proven discontinued sourcing strategies.
