Retail Arbitrage

Retail arbitrage (RA) is sourcing discounted products from brick-and-mortar stores and reselling them on Amazon for a profit. Sellers scan barcodes in-aisle with a sourcing app that pulls the current Amazon price, fees, BSR, and estimated ROI so they can decide to buy on the spot.
