Tailored for professional FBA sellers, it combines actionable sourcing techniques with insights into leveraging FBAPower tools. Priced affordably with a free Kindle copy included, this book empowers aspiring entrepreneurs to capitalize on market price imbalances and build scalable online resale businesses. ## Description My name is Chris Green and this is the first book that I wrote about selling products online and sourcing them at retail stores. I first published this book in September 2011. The story behind this book was that I wanted to write a long PDF about desertcart and FBA that answered all of the most common questions that were being asked. After I started writing, it ended up being a lot like a book so I looked into self-publishing options. It ended up being really easy and this book was released. I later stopped printing the book because I felt that the book was too long and basically covered two topics. The fist being the business model of arbitrage (along with desertcart and Fulfillment By desertcart (FBA)) and the second being process of sourcing products at retail stores. Not everyone who wanted to learn about arbitrage, desertcart, and FBA also wanted to learn more about sourcing products at retail stores. For them, the book was unnecessarily long and that also added to the production cost of the book. So I rewrote the book, took out the retail sourcing stuff, and just called it Arbitrage. It was published in September of 2013. It was shorter and priced at just $9.95. It’s on desertcart here: http://www.desertcart.com/dp/1478251891 You can read the reviews here: http://www.desertcart.com/dp/1478251891/reviews#customerReviews It’s an updated version of this original book. It’s only $9.95 and you get the Kindle copy for free with paperback purchase. Kindle copy is only $2.99 by itself, or you can read the Kindle copy for free if you are an desertcart Prime member. Review: Great, encouraging book - I came upon this book entirely by chance. I still don't know how I got linked to it on desertcart, but by happenstance, it came to my attention just as I was facing the failure of a career venture and really needed a flexible,low-risk way to bring in extra income. I have bought hundreds of items on desertcart, including FBA (Fulfilled By desertcart) items and merchant-fulfilled items, but never thought about selling myself. This book really makes you feel that you can do it. It explains why many people who buy from desertcart versus their local stores, even sometimes paying more in order to do so (quick shipping with desertcart Prime, free shipping with Super Saver shipping, convenience, availability of items, etc.)He gives testimonials from several sellers ranging from an older lady who shops thrift stores on her lunch hour for items to resell, to power sellers who ship dozens of boxes to desertcart each week to have orders fulfilled by FBA. All the reasons why being an FBA seller beats stocking and shipping every item yourself are convincingly explained. My only caution here is that selling through desertcart's FBA program only makes sense if you sell a fairly high volume, because of monthly fees and other reasons. And for many sellers, getting to that level of sales, especially if you are doing this part-time, could take quite awhile. I wish I had realized that, for awhile at least, I WILL have to store a bunch of merchandise, and I WILL have to make frequent trips to the post office to ship packages. It will take some time before I am selling enough for the FBA program to make sense for me. The author does tout his own barcode scanner. I was not ready to invest in the monthly fee (though you can get a free trial) so I am starting with some free scanning apps for my iPhone. Right away I can see that these free apps do not offer all that FBAScout offers, so again, if you are a newbie like me, you have to make the choice: do I invest in the monthly fee because the information FBAScout gives me will help me buy more profitable items and avoid duds; or do I play it safe and wait to invest in this until I am making a profit? It's a chicken-and-egg question. I wish he gave more space to the other scanning apps that are out there. That is where "Barcode Booty" by Steve Weber comes in. That book reviews a number of apps for iPhone and Android that you can choose from depending on your individual preferences and needs. I feel that these two books combined give the new reseller all they need to know to get started. Do expect that there will be a learning curve in getting to know the ins and outs of this business. Realize that some of the power selling described in these books will either take some time to achieve, or involve more risk and investment than some people might want to get involved in. Here is how I started out: my daughter was gathering used DVDs for her club's bazaar. I snagged a couple of them, did a quick price check on desertcart, signed up as a seller, and was listing items within a few minutes. I listed the two DVDs and a couple of books to start. I sold one DVD in fifteen minutes, another two hours later, and a book the next day. And that was just stuff we scrounged from around the house. I think this is going to be fun! Review: Great buy for a great book! - Great buy for a great book! I also received the Kindle version for free. Read the book before I got the physical book. I read arbitrage before reading this book. I would encourage readers to save a little bit of money and just buy this book. It has all the same info as "Arbitrage" and loads more. Chris is really down to earth. Fun to read and easy to follow. Great humor and good tips! Looking forward to his new book, "Online Arbitrage". Thanks! ## Features - FBAPower suite of tools are designed specifically for the demands of the professional FBA seller. - Arbitrage Definition:The practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets, striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,225,253 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,157 in E-Commerce (Books) #2,753 in Starting a Business (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 346 Reviews | ## Images ![Retail Arbitrage: The Blueprint for Buying Retail Products to Resell Online - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6164CMvW4XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, encouraging book *by G***L on April 16, 2012* I came upon this book entirely by chance. I still don't know how I got linked to it on Amazon, but by happenstance, it came to my attention just as I was facing the failure of a career venture and really needed a flexible,low-risk way to bring in extra income. I have bought hundreds of items on Amazon, including FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon) items and merchant-fulfilled items, but never thought about selling myself.

Read the book before I got the physical book. I read arbitrage before reading this book. I would encourage readers to save a little bit of money and just buy this book. It has all the same info as "Arbitrage" and loads more. Chris is really down to earth. Fun to read and easy to follow. Great humor and good tips! Looking forward to his new book, "Online Arbitrage". Thanks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book but I didn't realize it wasn't the most current book by the author *by V***O on May 9, 2024* This is a very informative book but I wish I would've realized that it was an old edition. That being said, that is on me as I didn't read the description closely. Someone recommended the book and I just looked for the title and purchased. But the book is a good read. The author spends a lot of time giving tips and useful information. I haven't finished the entire book yet but know that I will be buying the most recent related book by the same author once I'm done. I would still recommend this as it's inexpensive and informative. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12113106-retail-arbitrage-the-blueprint-for-buying-retail-products-to-resell](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12113106-retail-arbitrage-the-blueprint-for-buying-retail-products-to-resell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
