Dumpster Diving for eBay and Amazon Inventory!
Dumpster Diving for Inventory to Sell on Amazon and eBay
Well, I can honestly say that this is something I never thought I would try…. but, do I dare say, it worked?!?
Retail Arbitrage at Big Box Stores: Dumpster Diving!! to ebay and Amazon
In this video, Tracy proves that she is not afraid to get dirty! She had heard of the great merchandise that people had found in dumpsters, so she decided to take on this challenge.
Tracy was nervous and said she felt like she was breaking the law so she was going to google it. In the video, you will see what are the laws regarding dumper-diving. Looks like it is a “go” so she proceeds to see what she can find.
One dumpster she finds bags of garbage. Nothing good in there. Another she finds boxes. Lots of collapsed boxes. So if you are looking for boxes, now you know where to find a lot of free boxes. I am sure they will be happy for you to help yourself and take as many as you want.
Then she moves along and finds several that are empty. Then she finally finds one that has lots of goodies. She finds a new gold poinsettia, with the tag still on it, then she starts to find more and more, brand new things. Cards, pregnancy kits and silk flowers,etc.
Tracy points out that she didn’t really “”dive”, she was just “picked”! She sure is brave to show us this new idea for inventory!
Since many of the dumpsters were empty, she suggests that we figure out the schedule for the garbage pick up and that way you will know when are the better times to go.
Once at home, she goes over her treasures that she found in the dumpsters. She found quite a few silk flowers, Android docking stations, cell phone cases, a couple dog tennis balls, a new Rubbermaid storage container, a lock, dog chews, bows, several new pliers, a pail, a garbage can and much, much more!
Who would have thought that you can get all sorts of free, new merchandise in a dumpster. That is just amazing.
Tracy reminds us that she is not advocating getting your merchandise from dumpster diving, but if you are adventurous and looking for a way to get merchandise to start your business off, this is one way to literally get started for free!
She said she is not going to be selling it and will just use the items for personal use. The Android docking stations would be the only thing that she would consider selling.
Make sure you check with your local ordinances before you decide to do any dumpster diving!
