Items that cost $1.25 are now sold for $9.99! "1 Yuan Store" has become a source of goods for Amazon sellers

Purchasing goods must be a headache for every seller.

In the United States, there is a "purchasing model" in which some "sellers" will look for cheap but popular goods in offline discount stores, clearance sales, etc., and then add a certain amount of money to sell them on Amazon to earn the difference in price. This model is called retail arbitrage .

  "1 dollar store" has become the favorite "purchasing destination" for these "sellers", with Dollar store and Dollar General being the main retailers. From glow sticks to Twinkies ( an American snack famous for its long shelf life ) , they are all targets of these "sellers".

A TikTok user posted a video on the platform a while ago, saying that he sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of glow sticks in a month, all of which came from a Dollar Tree store .

The user said in the video caption, "I found a product at Dollar Tree , and it sold for $319,000 on Amazon in one month. Men and women can lie, but numbers can't."

Another user previously posted a similar video on TikTok , in which he found power cords at a Dollar Tree store for only $1.25 a pack, but on Amazon, he said the item was selling for $9.99.

The user also said in the video caption that you can start a store on Amazon with very little cost, and there are profits waiting for you at Dollar Tree .

Another user's video shows him buying several boxes of Orange Creme Pop flavored Twinkies at Dollar General for $0.01 each , but the Twinkies were selling for $16.99 a box on Amazon at the time.

It is reported that Dollar Tree is an American grocery store chain, famous for offering everything priced at $1. Its product range includes food, toiletries, household items, toys, office supplies, etc.; Dollar General is an American discount retailer whose goal is to provide inferior quality goods at low prices to meet the daily needs of consumers . It mainly sells food, household items, cleaning supplies, health and beauty products, clothing, home electronics and other products .
