16-year-old high school student "cheats"? Selling game consoles on Amazon made $1.7 million!

During the epidemic, people around the world were forced to stay at home, which was a great opportunity for many retailers. Some products became popular, demand surged, and new business opportunities emerged. On platforms such as Amazon and Walmart , some people are quietly making a fortune ...

In Hopewell, New Jersey, there is a high school student named Max Hayden. Although he is only 16 years old, he is already a successful seller.

According to CNBC, Hayden sold more than $1.7 million worth of products on Amazon throughout 2020. In addition, he resold $2 million worth of popular items on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

A few years ago, when Hayden was in fifth grade, he had already started selling toys on eBay. As he grew up, he sold spinning tops, sneakers, etc. The retail price of many of the items Hayden sold was often twice the normal price, or even four times.

Later, he began to study platform data and analyze market demand. At the beginning of the epidemic, people had to be isolated at home. Hayden seized this opportunity and sold a large number of game consoles, cameras , home fitness equipment , etc. in a relatively short period of time .

Many people questioned Hayden's high-priced sales of goods, but he believed that this was determined by the market and demand, and he was just taking advantage of it.

He said that this year, as of the end of June, his income has exceeded $500,000 , and his profit has reached $30,000 to $40,000. Previously, Hayden, who was in his third year of high school, could hardly balance business and studies, so he had to temporarily suspend business for a few months.

In the future, Hayden hopes to major in management information systems in college, which may help him in his future business career.

The reason why Hayden, who was only 16 years old, was able to make a lot of wealth was that he had a more diligent spirit and courage to keep trying than ordinary people. These were the main driving forces behind his success.

At the same time, Hayden's successful example also has some inspiration for sellers. In this fiercely competitive industry, the market is changing rapidly. Therefore, in the process of product selection and sales, sellers must grasp market information in a timely manner, understand consumer needs, and analyze their own business data in order to accelerate the pace of explosive sales!
