[00:00:00]All right, cool. So, look, this what we doing. See the Callaway hat. You know what I'm saying? I'm big time golfer now. You know, I'm a big time golf guy.

[00:00:08]So, just respect the drip when you see it, you know. But for today, we out front of Ali's. Y'all know my uh white-haired, big-headed Caucasian friend that helped me make a lot of money. He's one of my favorite folks.

[00:00:20]Shout out to Ali. If it wasn't for Ali, I might not be pushing AMG, you know.

[00:00:24]So, big shout out to Ali. I want to read this quote to you guys on this ring that I found. And I found this ring at the gym. Quick backstory on this ring. Was in the locker room when I got there.

[00:00:34]Went up to the gym, did my routine, whatever. I think I did chest day, whatever. Came down. Ring was still in the spot that it was at when I went up.

[00:00:42]Went in the sauna, did that, got a shower, came back out, it was still there. So, you know, I picked it up. I looked at it. And this is what it said on the ring, right? I can do all things through Christ who is my strength. I can do all things through Christ who is my strength. So when I read that, it just resonated with me and I felt like, you know, maybe this was a reminder from, you know, God and he wanted me to see this. And now, you know, I took the ring. I don't feel bad about it because, you know, I left it there multiple times, came back, it was still there.

[00:01:16]And I felt like this was a message for me that I needed to hear at the time.

[00:01:19]And I just been wearing it. Just got approved for this new house. artist that I'm managing just signed a a pretty big record deal. Uh but yeah, that's what's going on in the wonderful random life of Amazon Trapper. We have a good episode for you guys. We're at Ali's. We're going to do a $100 challenge. We haven't done one in a bit. I'm confident that we will be able to at least double our money. And you guys know the whole purpose of these episodes is teaching beginners or people who just don't have a lot of capital my thought process on what I would do if I only had $100 to spend on inventory. What I would do, how I would spend it, and what products I would buy. So, that's enough yapping for right now. Let's get into the store and I'm going to show you what I would do if I only had $100. I would love an amazing bubble blaster for the new crib. That would be so cool. Yeah, that would be so cool. You know, you just dad out back grilling, you feel me? Woot woot cam running through the crib playing with the dog. Wouldn't that be fun?

[00:02:23]>> You need a lawn mower, bro.

[00:02:25]>> I do need a lawn mower. You know, I was thinking, bro, like if I make enough money at Ali's a few times a month, I just pay the landscaper cuz I want to be rich enough to the point where I don't I don't want to cut my lawn. I don't want to cut grass. I got allergies, bro. If I cut I I'll die out that [ __ ] Run my foot over like the new final destination. You know what I'm saying?

[00:02:48]Like I'm liable to literally have an asthma attack. Fresh cut grass is not good for me. It's bad for my chest. What you think about Jack Lynx Chili?

[00:02:58]You think this is some cash on here? No.

[00:03:01]Probably like a 12-pack. You don't think so?

[00:03:05]I think we might be able to squeeze a couple dollars out of this. I just had a call with a student the other day and they was telling me that they was selling look 12-pack spicy chili 43 bucks. I don't see this spicy though.

[00:03:25]Nope. You was right. Oh >> your snack. You love this [ __ ] bro.

[00:03:32]>> I do, >> bro. I'm not going to lie. This is not really my vibe, but when you gave it to me that day when we was golfing, I was [ __ ] with it.

[00:03:40]I'm not going to lie to you, bro. I really was [ __ ] with it.

[00:03:47]$100 challenge. Let's see what we can do, man.

[00:03:51]Choplings.

[00:03:52]Okay. All right. This is going for 10 bucks.

[00:03:57]14 count is going for 21.

[00:04:02]Okay. eight pack. Might be able to squeeze a couple dollars profit out of this. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see.

[00:04:12]It looks like I'm not eligible to sell this though. So, I'm going to try a manual on gate though.

[00:04:21]I got some toast on my nose from breakfast.

[00:04:25]Don't judge me. So, that last product that was decent, the beef jerky, I was gated for it. So, I just put in an application and we're going to check back in a few and see if I get ungated for check this foggers 72. How many 24 packs do I need to make 72?

[00:04:43]Three. They don't have a 24 pack listing online, but they have a 72 pack.

[00:04:50]So, I just was trying to see if there was any way that I could make it shake, man. Because uh Yep. non-shakable product.

[00:05:01]I know you like this kind.

[00:05:06][laughter] I I remember you telling me you was a fan of that flavor coffee and [ __ ] like that. Remember when Prime was like goated? Bro, when this [ __ ] first came out, bro, it was like, bro, I remember when the lemonade came out, I went to my friend owns a a convenience store, my sing homie, shout out my S homie, but I put up on them and I bought like mad cases of this [ __ ] and I was selling the lemonade bottles for like $9.99 each.

[00:05:38]And then I guess, you know, like somewhere along the lines, people stopped giving a [ __ ] about Prime. So, >> hype matters in every >> sometimes, bro.

[00:05:50]But y'all selling this [ __ ] for $6. It's selling for 20. FBM cost would cost me about $7. So, I mean, bro, to be honest, this is not bad. Like, if you're ungated for this, it's funny cuz I'm I could sell these primes all day. 63 66% ROI.

[00:06:09]I'm getting it for six. I'm making for profit. But the only thing is like it's so there's so much work, bro. It's so heavy. me. I'm I'm a little bit bougier nowadays. But if I was, you know, 2023 2024 Amazon trapper and I was in the trenches and I only had $100 to flip, you could totally get all 6, you know, 12 24 48. You know, this is damn near $100 right here to flip. And let's just say we got, you know, 15 of these cases or 16 of these cases will cost us $96 and we would make 63 profit off 96 bucks. So that's one option. I'm not going to get these cuz I don't feel like carrying them, but that's for sure an option right there just off these two flavors. Wouldn't mess with this one, this orange flavor. It sells for a little bit cheaper um than the other two. Um, this one would be 26%. Which, you know, not really jacking that. But this one, this one, you know, you turn, you got 100, you make 60, now you got 160. Then you take that 160.

[00:07:22]Boom. Boom. You turn that 160 to 240.

[00:07:25]Now you got 240. You turn it 240 to 4 440. Now you got 440. You turn that 440.

[00:07:33]760. 10 at 760, 1100. You You see where I'm going? You just >> every time you flip it, you almost doubling it. Sometimes you will double it, sometimes you won't. But that's the whole process. You can turn $100 to damn near a,000 in 6 weeks, maybe less if you do it right. Right here we have Rip Van Romeo's. And the only reason why I know about Rip Van Romeo is cuz one day I pulled up the Dex crib. He had like 17 boxes of these open. He had uh you know like the rappers from these all over the place. He actually was sleeping on his couch. He had a Rip Van Romeo cookie resting on his belly. He had no shirt on. He just had a [laughter] two pack going for $20. Two pack costing us $6. Let's see if we can make some money off Rip Van Romeo's aka Dex's favorite snack. And we can see here 5k rank. That's pretty damn good. I'm not going to cap to you. Let's check the date. The date is busting July 30th. We got plenty of time to sell these [ __ ] Rip Van Romeos. $6 buy cost. I'm eligible to sell this. We got one, two, three, four, five. So, times two, we got Oh, and we got Okay, so we got five. So, we got 20 units of this. Rip Van is on the listing. I'm not really worried about that. Not really worried about that.

[00:09:08]Yeah, Rip Van is the only one on this listing, but because I've sold the products from this brand before, I'm not really too worried about that. Um, I would FBM this and I know it would cost me about $5, giving me a 100% ROI. You guys know I love grocery category because it's the easiest way to literally double your money. So, if this is selling in a two pack, right, the two pack is [music] costing me $6 in total.

[00:09:34]We're selling it for 20. I'm FBMing this. So, I would probably undercut these guys and sell it for like $18.99, right? Still going to give me a $5 profit. And we have 5 10. We have 20 units. It's going to cost me just over our $100 uh, you know, spending limit.

[00:09:53]So, it's going to cost me 120. But just for the sake of this video, let me see what 18 units. Okay, let me do 17 units.

[00:10:01]17 units, $102. $87 profit just from selling some cookies. We even have more units. So, you know, there's 30 units in total. If you had the money to get these, they're there. This is another This is another good product that I've sold from them before, which is why I know that these were were going to be pretty good. All right. So, there's actually no sellers on this listing right now, which is fire because we see that it sells 500 times a month. The BSR is high because everyone's been out of stock. Now, if you were to go back in stock on these, I could see the last sale price was around $10. So, I'll set my sale price to $10. That's going to give us a 200% ROI. Every time we sell one of these, we're making $3 profit.

[00:10:48]There's a bunch of these in the store.

[00:10:50]We got Let's just add these up. Six 12 24 We got 26 units of these. So guys, we got options. You feel me? Like there's there's plenty of ways to cut this [ __ ] up. And actually, I've seen a bunch more units of these somewhere else. So if these are $150 each, how many how many of them could we buy with 100 bucks? 70 is going to cost us $15, but bro, it's going to make us $213.

[00:11:20]So, if we sell 70 units of this, but we know we can cuz it sells 500 times a month and no one is in stock and the expiration is great. We sell 70 units of this, it's going to cost us $100 and we're going to make $213, right? Which takes us from $15 capital to $318 capital in less than a month. Boom. You feel me? A couple of these flips, you buy all of these, you buy all of those cookies, you feel me?

[00:11:49]You're at $400 or $500 profit off just two snacks. Bro, we didn't even go through everything else. That's why I like doing these $100 challenges because I'm showing you guys in real time. Like, bro, you just got to come out here and try. This is trash. Sometimes you scan [ __ ] and it's trash. All right. Salted caramel filled marshmallows. This seems like it is sold in a multiack. And these are $1 each. So, let's see what they got. Man, nobody's buying those. This is bad idea.

[00:12:20]Terrible. Terrible thing. Let's try these ones. Milk chocolate.

[00:12:26]We have a threeack going for $12, bro.

[00:12:29]And these are going to cost $1 each. So, this might be valid, bro. I'm about to check it out.

[00:12:34]>> How are you finding three packs, two packs? How are you?

[00:12:37]>> Because I'm using I'm using this Amazon app. You know, like if you were going to buy something, you know, as a civilian, like, you know what I'm saying? Like if you were shopping as a civilian, you know, you I'm going show you. You can click this top right hand corner and then you can image scan anything you want, bro. That's the hack right there.

[00:12:55]You can image you can image scan anything you want. Then you come on here. You see what I'm saying?

[00:13:04]>> Mhm.

[00:13:04]>> You see what I'm saying? But where' that threeack just go?

[00:13:09][ __ ] it. Let's Let's check the sixpack now.

[00:13:13]Got the sixpack. You see what I'm saying?

[00:13:16]And then we go down. Once we go down and we once we go down, we we trying to get the AC. We go to product specifications.

[00:13:24]You see what I'm saying? We already can see the best sellers rank is 45,000. So that's already a green flag majorly. And we copy the AC. We come back over here and we pop that shebang bang in the shabbo. You see what I'm saying?

[00:13:41]The cost is going to be $6ish because we already know. See, I I could probably get ungated for this. It says no, but I can get ungated for this. But anyway, I would FBM this joint and then I know it'd be about $5. And again, look, 121% ROI. We're more than doubling my our money every time we sell it. You know what I'm saying? $100 challenge. We can combine a couple units of this, couple units of this, couple units of that, few of this. You know what I'm saying? If you don't want to buy all of one thing as a beginner, I can understand why you wouldn't want to buy all of one thing.

[00:14:22]You may want to spread it out. So, you can get a couple of this, couple of this, couple of this. You feel me? Peace of mind. But where's that threeack unit at? Because it was a three-pack unit, right? I'm not tripping. I think you were on that right before I asked you that.

[00:14:38]>> Bro, I don't [ __ ] know. I don't know where it went. That'd be the weird [ __ ] bro. Right. Cuz it was literally just on my phone and then now it's not.

[00:14:51]I don't know.

[00:14:53]>> Let's keep it pushing.

[00:14:55]>> Yo, uh Brian texted me yesterday. He said, "Yo, can you get any more Jolly Rancher Jolly Rancher Chewy Poppers?"

[00:15:03]>> Dead ass. Yeah, >> like those exact things in your hand.

[00:15:06]>> Yeah.

[00:15:09]>> So, let me text Brian.

[00:15:12]You >> must have really been slinging a bunch of Chewy poppers. One of my students, uh, Brian, you know, we we done been through this store before together, I'm pretty sure. But, um, anyway, he text me yesterday. He said he text me yesterday.

[00:15:26]He said, "Can you get more Jolly Ranchers chewy proper for what store?"

[00:15:32]D. So, I'm over here today at Ali's Jelly Ranchers Tree Proper. Look at the Look at the profit and look at the ROI, bro.

[00:15:40]173% ROI. You're paying $2 and you're turning that $2 into $547.

[00:15:47]That's crazy, bro. So, we got 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 units.

[00:16:03]$28 is going to make us $48 profit. So, we're not starting with 28 and going to 48. We're starting with 28 and then adding 48 on top of that 28 is what you're taking home. So, again, we still on Look, we're still on this one little rack, bro. It's how much money is how much money done been made on this rack right here already.

[00:16:25]See what I'm saying? So, it's like you can com combination combination. Which one? Combination. You know what I'm saying? You mix this [ __ ] up how you want. You get some chewy poppers. You get some of this. You get some of that.

[00:16:38]Teaching y'all the sauce right now. I'm showing y'all how to do it. You want some Dolly? You want some Dolly partner syrup? Your ass loves syrup. [laughter] >> The [ __ ] >> Your ass loves syrup.

[00:16:51]One of your favorite items to sell all time.

[00:16:55]Look, look, look.

[00:16:58]Hella.

[00:17:00]You know what I'm saying? And there was more. There was more of them over there, I seen. And look, more of these, too.

[00:17:10]More of these up there. Up there. Up there. Down there. These these cookies right here. Right here. Right here.

[00:17:18]Right here. Right here. And I bet you they at every other Ali's location, too.

[00:17:29]$2 for the for the yo.

[00:17:32]No profit on those.

[00:17:36]Airheads snow cone. Sounds like red 40 and diabetes.

[00:17:45]I know he's [ __ ] like that freaky snow cone lover.

[00:17:52]12 of these is going for $35. Let's see if it's actually selling and if it's profitable to sell online at a price that can make me money profitably. Oh, two sales a month. Bro, who the [ __ ] That ain't going to work, beloved. That ain't going to work, beloved. Chill, beloved. Hey, yo, chill, beloved. Hey, yo, beloved. Chill, beloved. Chill, my heart. This green tea with lemonade, beloved. All right, hold up. 12 pack of these is going for $45, which means that it will cost me $15.

[00:18:34]15 to make 45. Chat, do y'all see the vision? Oh my god. 464,000 rank. No, thank you. What's a solid rank?

[00:18:45]>> Under 100,000.

[00:18:48]>> If you can get it under 100,000 for the grocery category, that's a pretty solid rank. Beloved, bro, look. $10 for this whole case, bro.

[00:18:56]You don't want this?

[00:18:58]>> $10 for the case.

[00:18:59]>> Yeah, Beloved. Look.

[00:19:00]>> No, I don't want that [ __ ] bro.

[00:19:03]>> Bro, this the big This the cans.

[00:19:04]Beloved. Beloved, Beloved. That's the good one.

[00:19:10]>> Grab it. Test it out. Let me know.

[00:19:12]>> Bro, you already know I don't go Owen. I go Whole Foods. I go blue eggs.

[00:19:19]>> So, you don't got no core powers at your brand.

[00:19:21]>> Yeah, strawberry banana, but I don't I don't I don't eat them. I don't drink those. They just been sitting there ever since I tried to get the strawberries, but I accidentally got strawberry banana.

[00:19:31]>> You got strawberry banana, man.

[00:19:32]>> You couldn't even trick me into drinking that [ __ ] bro. You couldn't even pay me to to take a a cap taste of that [ __ ] bro. Strawberry banana is the worst combination I ever was put on this earth.

[00:19:46]>> Oh jeez.

[00:19:46]>> There's really no need for it.

[00:19:48]>> It's going to offend a lot of people.

[00:19:50]>> Strawberry banana and chocolate peanut butter. Never needed to have it, bro. Never needed to have it. We we could have existed to this point on this planet without those two combinations of flavors. Bro, strawberries and bananas don't even grow in similar places. So, whatever hype ass fruit hype beast was like, "What if we take a strawberry and we take a banana and we put them together?" Dumb as hell.

[00:20:18]Like, at least you could you could have went banana and pineapple or you could have went strawberry and raspberry. You see what I'm saying? Strawberry and banana don't need to be touching, bro.

[00:20:32]>> Pin colada.

[00:20:33]>> Yeah, >> but you like pinina colada.

[00:20:35]>> Yeah. I'm not I'm not going to the crib making a pinina colada. If I'm in uh at Finn's Beach Club in Bali, you see what I'm panic colada if I'm in Paya Beach.

[00:20:47]If I'm in Patang, I might go pin colada.

[00:20:49]>> If I'm in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, I'm not going pin colada.

[00:20:52]>> I'm also not going strawberry banana.

[00:20:55]You're not strawberry banana.

[00:20:57]>> No, sir. No, sir. I wouldn't go strawberry banana on Mars, [ __ ] If that was the only thing available, I wouldn't go that, bro. I'm having a dirt smoothie before I go strawberry banana.

[00:21:07]I wouldn't feed strawberry banana to my worst op.

[00:21:10]>> Damn, he'd enjoy it, bro.

[00:21:14]>> No, he wouldn't.

[00:21:16]Think we might got some [ __ ] motion here, baby. We might got some motion on the Queen Annies, baby. $279 price. We got a $13.99 sale price and we got how many queen Annies we got? A good amount.

[00:21:33]I'll just round up and say 15. 15 Annies is going to cost us $41 to get them. $77 profit. So, we turning our $41 to like $110 120 range. You feel me? Like, where else are you getting those type of returns? And we already gave y'all a bunch of options, but let's break down the numbers. $279 by cost, 1399 sale price, 514 profit, 184% ROI. And that was just this flavor. Let's try the other flavors and see.

[00:22:06]Chocolate cherry cola.

[00:22:09]This one looks to be decent as well.

[00:22:11]$279.

[00:22:13]Cost, this one is 81% ROI as well.

[00:22:18]Everything looks solid on here as far as those go. Then we got dark chocolate with coconut. See, the only thing with these though is because it's summer now.

[00:22:28]You know, you're going to have to be careful about how you send these. If you're This one's profitable as well. If you're sending these out, you know, in the dead of summer, which we're getting to to be there pretty damn soon, you're going to have to get these ice packs on Amazon. I'll show you what they look like. Anytime you're sending meltable um meltable products, you want to get shipping ice packs.

[00:22:52]You get these little things right here.

[00:22:54]You know, you you sit them in water. Um and they you sit them in water, they expand, and then you freeze them. I usually just get the small ones, and I get like a 96 I get like a 96 um count, and this cost you $14 to ship 96. you know, you can ship 96 of those. It's worth factoring in, you know, whatever that few cents, 30, 40, 50 cents, whatever it ends up being each [snorts] to make sure that you don't get a return. So, you know, that's another another few products right there. You know, I I would break down my perfect combination of all these products that I found, but there's just so many different combinations and my neurode divergent brain would just just throw me out of whack. If you were only starting out with $100, [snorts] would you buy only one of the products that you found or would you buy a couple of each?

[00:23:47]>> Go some more of these Jolly Poppers. Um, me personally, I probably do like 25 on four different products or, you know, that's the thing, bro. There's no right or wrong answer, bro. I don't know. I would probably spend half I would probably spend $50 on whichever the most profitable one product was and then I would spend that other 50 dividing it across the few, you know. So I'll go $50 on what I think there was like a 200% ROI over there. So I would go $50 on that 200% ROI probably. I think it was those cookies, right? That's mad units. They're only they were only $150 each. Probably get 35 [music] units of that. That's mad units, mad sales. And then that other 50, I would probably divide it across a couple of the other things that we found. [snorts] You know, get a couple of these these jolly these Jolly Ranch poppers. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[00:24:41]You know, there's there's a lot of stuff in here. We only been in here like 354 [music] minutes. We found a lot. We only really hit um the grocery aisles. Um and we didn't even hit all of them. There's still another one behind us with all their granola bars and stuff like that.

[00:24:56]>> With only $100, would you be more focused on ROI or just moving it fast?

[00:25:02]>> Profit.

[00:25:02]>> Yeah. I would try and find the best combination of speed and profit because I'm trying to turn that 100 to 300. Then when you get that 300, you turn that 300 to 500. You turn that 500 to 900. Then that 900. Once you crack over that $1,000 is really if you have $100, you're really only five flip cycles from being over a,000. Once you [snorts] get over a,000, bro, imagine if you sold 1,000 boxes of those $1 cookies >> and you're making 200%. You just turned your 1,000 to 3,000. Now you're act now you're in the game. You feel me? So if you only have $100 to your name, you're literally four to five flip cycles away from being at a,000. And if you do it the right way, just shows you how to do it the right way. I would come in here, focus on profits, and this [ __ ] around, you know, as you guys saw, even me today, I wasn't ungated for everything, but you know, that just comes with it.

[00:26:00]Submit your invoices, you know, start from somewhere. Sell what you can sell.
