Retail arbitrage means buying goods from retailers and reselling them elsewhere to exploit a price difference. Unlike ongoing wholesale procurement, inventory may come from clearance events or temporary retail deals. The advantage must remain after selling costs; a low till price does not establish profitable resale.[1]
Before buying, verify the precise version, condition, sourcing documents and applicable selling requirements.[1] Include sourcing time, transport and return exposure in the decision. A one-off lot may be attractive without providing a repeatable source of stock on which to base a continuing offer.
