Which Reselling Model Is Right For You?
In my latest podcast, I break down the four main reselling models - wholesale, private label, retail arbitrage, and online arbitrage - and explain why one of them stands out for beginners (and even experienced sellers) in 2025.
The quick summary:
Wholesale sounds great - unlimited inventory, repeatable orders, stable pricing. But you need supplier approval, warehouse space, and serious capital upfront. Not ideal for starting out.
Private Label gives you full control and no competition on your listings. But manufacturing costs, overseas lead times, and expensive advertising make it a money pit until you scale.
Retail Arbitrage has the lowest barrier to entry - just walk into a store and start scanning. But it's time-consuming, awkward, and hard to scale when you're hunting for deals one barcode at a time.
Online Arbitrage is where I've landed - and where I think most people should start. You can source from anywhere, anytime, compare multiple stores at once, and it works incredibly well with automation.
The game changer? Web scraping. Instead of scanning products one by one, I download thousands of products, match them to Amazon with 99% accuracy, and let AI rank the best opportunities. I can scan 1,000 products in 15 minutes and wake up to a spreadsheet of profitable finds.
