Hello, it's Hiro.
I started as a side business when I was a salaryman, and now I earn an average of over 200,000 yen a month.
It has been going on for more than 8 years since 2013, when I started 'Retail Arbitrage' side business.
※Retail Arbitrage, we call it as 'SEDORI' in Japan.
I would like to easily teach you the points for those who want to start SEDORI from now on.
Focus on your area of expertise
I think this is the most important and basic thing to start with.
"What is your hobbies?
In other words, "Which field of product can you give an image of the amount of money immediately?"
In my case, my hobby is customizing cars, so car parts, dress-up supplies, etc.
For other genres, if it's anime goods, you can see the market price of most of the products without having to google each time.
You can also see which brand of product you are good at will not lose popularity or price.
Speaking of anime, it's Pokemon,
Speaking of movies, it's Harry Potter goods
Since there are collectors all over the world, there is a tendency that the price does not drop.
If you purchase these products at a Japanese flea market or over-the-counter sales, and then list them on EBAY, you can immediately aim for profit.
I recommend that you use EBAY directly without going through Sekaimon.
If it's a car dress-up item, DAD is very good because it's hard to fall asleep and there are a lot of used items on the market.
For furniture, the price of acme furniture is rarely reduced, so it is recommended to purchase it when a half-price sale or second-hand goods are on the market.
Even if the product is worn out, such as a sofa, it is easy to find a seller for the discontinued products.
It is quite possible that the price will be higher for second-hand goods due to their rarity value.
In this way, you can simply find cheap products at auctions and stores, focusing on products in your area of specialty, and list them on community sites such as auctions.
It sells quickly and is recommended because it hardly becomes negative.
Antiques for high risk and high return
I used to buy antiques and did SEDORI in the past.
At that time, I earned more than 1 million yen a month.
At that time, I noticed the high-class tableware Meissen, Royal Copenhagen.
I didn't have any knowledge, so I started by reading 10 books and studying antiques.
I have reached a level where it is easy to see which part of the coat of arms and the twin sword mark is from which era.
Also, when I had time, I went to the antique market to study.
By actively talking with customers who come to the antique market, I was able to improve my level as a connoisseur.
I bought it from an auction, and after finishing the transaction, I made friends with the seller directly and started to import it individually, and from this time on, my profits have increased several times.
Antiques are now very difficult to handle, but it's worth a try.
Purchase electrical appliances using "Amacode" and sell them at Amazon, Yahoo Auctions, and Mercari.
If you like home appliances, you should use Amacode.
You can get good value home appliances at nearby home appliance mass retailers and outlets and sell them at flea market sites such as auctions.
Especially, the price of the camera is hard to drop, so it is recommended.
When starting a SEDORI, it is efficient to proceed with brainstorming from the key phrase of your specialty.
It is also important to cut the loss immediately when it cannot be sold and to turn the inventory in as short a cycle as possible so as not to hold too much inventory.
If you can't sell it, you can't sell it forever.
Is it roughly about SEDORI in Japan, I would like to write again.
Regards,
hiro
