I love the amazon community, I'll think I've hit a high score and the boys will remind me I'm poor.
I'm thinking I'm the man for hitting a $2,000 day("ORDERS ARE RIPPING") and one of the homies goes "LOL" and sends me a pic of a $20,000 day.
Back 2 work I'm section 8 poor
@AlexHartsuff I feel you
Disqualified a client because his name was Alex. His parents would have named him Alexander if he had what it took to do great things
@Flippin4Gold Ai does not = LLM.
I have many custom machine learning solutions, none of which use retrievals of any additional data outside the training data
@AmazonASGTG They don't enforce a monopoly unless the brand threatens to sue lol.
"in an effort to pad our P&L to maximize shareholder value, we think we can extract value here"
@Flippin4Gold Yup. @CookingCashflow
There is a decent learning curve working with the amazon api, as well as keepa.
Here is my calc replacement, UI still sucks, but it's useable. Requires keepa api key and amazon api access.
Still working on the repricer, but it's fun
@BwcDeals also the aged data paired with incomplete game knowledge of not knowing how many the retailer has in stock. The marketplace rate limits are easier to solve from a product intelligence standpoint
One of the reasons I think a complete end to end OA sourcing system(for everyone) is a tarpit idea. Tactical Arbitrage, arbisource, and arbitrage hero have all tried.
The OA engineering problem is actually a significantly harder one to solve than PL or wholesale, with fair less payoff. One of the reasons you see so many pivots into other software ventures.
The ones that do work are scraping the base api for prices, and or scraping bazaar voice for UPC enrichment if it isn't there.
The problem is stock/size of the opportunity. Okay lets say even amazon, starts selling $100 items for $1. How many items are there for sale? How long does it take for it to be sold out? What is the window of opportunity if you're checking every product listing once every 6 hours?
So the more things you check(especially with browsers) the more expensive it gets.
I think the mix is finding methods manually, then automating the restock/sales cycle. That is the only thing that worked for me. Everyone else is scraping too, so like UPC scanners in wholesale the best ones aren't there.
@Sole_Republican 100% you did not. But there is a reason I pivoted into wholesale.
OA is great because you can go from 0 to 100k in 30-60 days. OA is defined by the worst months, not the best ones.
Wholesale every month is a great month
@yosoymario91 Most people read at a 7th grade level. If you’re most people you’re set up to fail.
Give a 7th grade kid a legal contract, he’s gonna get screwed
@stockxsucks Real as fuck
For brits/EU people evading taxes, and everyone else breaking the law. As an american, it's like mexico pretending to be singapore
