Retail arbitrage is a strategy that requires you to buy a product at a lower price from the retail store and sell it on at a higher price to another retailer or reseller at a profit. Retail Arbitrage: What Does it Involve? has been used for many years in various business sectors. The concept is not new. For example, if you purchase an item at a discount price at a retail store, reseller or manufacturer, then you can sell that item on at a higher price at another retail store and make a profit.

Retail arbitrage can be done by shopping for wholesale product suppliers yourself. For example, if you look at wholesale electronics at retail stores, you might find some good wholesale suppliers of computers or electronic appliances for an incredibly low price. You could then go online, find a wholesale electronics supplier and resell the products at a markdown.

Another example of this strategy is if you look at the wholesale prices of cars at various retail stores and then find a manufacturer that has a wide selection of cars to choose from and can provide you with a huge variety of different cars for you to select from. Then you can take your list of wholesale cars, go to a manufacturer's website and purchase those cars from them at a markdown.

If you look online, you will see there are thousands of retailers or resellers that offer wholesale products at extremely discounted prices. You may also find sites offering wholesale clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry and other products. You can buy your wholesale products in bulk or at wholesale prices. Many retailers will offer free shipping, which is very appealing to buyers.

Wholesale prices can vary widely from one supplier to the next. You should always research several different suppliers before making a final decision. When doing your research, you will need to determine the wholesale prices that retail stores pay for the product that you want to sell, as well as the retail price, the shipping charges and the profit margins.

It is important to know that this type of wholesale retail arbitrage strategy is not limited to retail stores. You can use the same strategy to trade stocks or to trade shares of any stock, for a profit. You can use wholesale prices to get the best prices for both new and used stock.
