Simple Arbitrage Profits Cheat Sheet Disclaimer: The contents are based on the author’s personal experience and research. Your results may will vary, and depend on your individual situation and/or motivation. There are no guarantees concerning the level of success you may experience. If you follow everything in this guide, there are still no guarantees of any earnings as this guide is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
This is the bonus Product “Secret Reference Guide”. The purpose of this is to list some categories and items that I have dealt with over the years and that are sure to accelerate your learning curve. Print this list out if you desire and take it with you when you go out sourcing. It will give you a foundation as to what brands you should be looking for. This is meant to be a help and not at all a complete list of everything that is possible to make high profits with. My experience has shown me that there are items that I find on a consistent basis that prove to be my bread and butter items. And
then there are items that come around once a month or so. And lastly there are deals that seem to come around once a year but really make it worth the wait. Be prepared and don't judge an item based on your belief system. Open your mind to accept the old age truth, “One Mans Junk, Is another Man’s Treasure!”
