People are earning THOUSANDS with this Home Depot - Lowes Trick

Doors

Tbh, I don’t think most general contractors do this mainly because they don’t have time to resell things on eBay or their local friend/hardware store 🤣

It’s a great idea nonetheless but definitely for resellers that have that kind of time since reselling products is a process depending on how many thing you plan on reselling and how many you have to ship out today… could be a fun hobby on the weekends or it could be a full time job depending on the scale of your operation… but most importantly, you need a buyer lol so charge fair since more and more people are starting to shop for better deals … I for one only ever buy batteries online for my tools since it’s a massive price difference and some reputable website stores have deals for like the Dewalt powerstack where you can get a free tool with purchase of said powerstack for $200

I’ll take a shot at reselling whatever I can tho… but I am also fairly busy running a business and In the process of organizing/restocking inventory 🫠… and I have a weekend job/ I’m bored on the weekends

Thats not what they are doing... there is another "hack" you can do to save a lot more money on tools. Which a lot of people do and flip them

Cedar Rapids iowa store never has deals of any like what i hear these channels or others talk about.. Even the Milwaukee reps won’t give out a free sticker!

Making thousands and spending thousands
This reminds me of when I worked at a gas station and people would complain about the gas at the station being three cents cheaper down the street. So you spend $10 for fuel which is about 9cents. Did you really miss out on anything?

Pronounced Mill Walk Key! 4PhuckSake! ROFLMAO!

New money making hack: buy lowe, sell high 🤯

So the obvious question here is this - Why would someone buy from someone marking it up for profit when they can go to Lowes or Home Depot and get the deal themselves?

Don't forget to factor in the tax and that you have to collect tax when you resell (technically).

Scrapfarm does that. Great channel. An actual authentic person, not some over-produced hipster cos-playing. He is a flea market tool hustler. Also a scrapper/garbage picker. Also a storage auction guy. Also a gardener/farmer. He gets deals at Home Despot and resells them.

In my area a few years ago lawn flags were out of stock region wide right before aeration season started. There oddly were plenty online at Amazon but 4-5x times the price. I ended up just making my own so the lawn service didn’t destroy my sprinkler heads.

I thought most of that ebay stuff was stolen.

THEY ARE NOT DOING THAT
THAT IS STOLLEN GOODS FROM MOB
THE TRUCKS ARE HIT IN CALI AND THEN SOLD ON AMAZON
YOU ARE WRONG

My man just said Mill-wahck,uh

Mill walk ah eye eh

The problem with selling on eBay, and Amazon is that they take a rather heft commission percentage of the sale. After they take their fees, these sellers don't make any money...If they do come out on top, it's literally pennies, maybe a few bucks per transaction. It's a lot of time invested in drop shipping for a few bucks on eBay. I tried this years ago. You have to be real dedicated, and be selling items that quickly sell on a daily basis for this to amount to any real income for the seller.

Or just steal the Tools and make more money !!!!!! Prosecute all thieves !!!

If your not making at least $10 profit then it’s not a good way to make money. You have to pay to sell your items. You’ll be working over 40 hours a week. Plus your on call 24/7

Lol remember all those scoot and looting in all the stores across America. Well, here are your deals 😂😂😂😂😂😂

DTO is the best place to buy tools to resell. Example I just bought a brand new Homelite 26cc straight shaft string trimmer for $65 + a Ryobi drill driver and impact driver combo with two batteries and charger and bag for $50 + $15 shipping for all three. FedEx ground so it takes a couple days longer, but one price for shipping. If you are not looking there to buy tools, you need to look there first.

I seriously doubt that you could make "thousands of dollars" doing this - looks like the times it would work out, would probably equal the times you couldn't sell the product... :)

They "Gov"are going digital July 1st. All transaction will be monitored. So this , with all freedom we nit be permitted.

people that do successful retail arbitrage must have huge volumes.. If I'm buying something for resale, I need a good 10:1 ratio on purchase and potential sale price to makeup for the headache of dealing with scambay. I generally sale online to get rid of stuff, period

Tell you what, man, this is how I get all of my DeWalt batteries. People buy the combo packs, then split them up and sell each piece separately on ebay. It's beautiful. Everybody wins.

I win as a buyer because I get things for less than I'd otherwise have to pay. The seller wins because he makes a few bucks. Heck, even Lowes wins...because they are selling originally at the price they want.

Now, downside: If you buy on ebay, you are probably not going to get the warranty. Some folks don't care about that, so for them...no worries at all. For me, this is the reason I very rarely buy the actual tools this way. But for batteries?

If you are getting 5, 8 and 10 AH batteries for 30, 40, 50 bucks apiece, does a warranty really matter? I have never gotten a bad one, but even if I did...who cares about a warranty of a $30.00 battery?

It's a truly beautiful system, in my opinion.

you didn't even mention the seller's fees. You just mention how much they made before taking out the actual cost and shipping fee and the amazon fee. This is that tricking people to sell it. Because this video is obviously don't have value. I once sell it one the amazon. And realized that after all fees, cost of the merchandise, I am actually LOOSING money. Not even making money. For each item I sell, I am loosing at least $10 dollars because of the fee and shipping.I might just give it away. Let say, You buought a Ryobi for 50% off. But your amazon fee, credit card transaction fee is adding up. You bought a ryobi for $50. See it for $30, Making $20. But the shipping is $15 the amazing fee is $5 and the credit card transaction fee is $5. The materials for shipping is maybe $2. You end up paying $7 to sell the item. Who will want to do that? These types of videos NEVER tell you all the hidden fees. They told you how much that sold or make from amazon. They didn't tell you how much the amazon, the credit card company are going to charge you. Please be careful.

Like you mentioned, many don’t realize that if you didn’t buy your Ridgid tools from Home Depot, it’s only the standard 3 year warranty- not the Lifetime LSA (Limited service agreement).
Being that I’m avoiding having batteries and chargers for a zillion brands, I stick to just 2 brands- Ridgid 18v and Milwaukee M12 - that’s it.
I also look for the green tag “special buys” but watch out in some of those because it could be a lessor quality tool like brush vs brushless.

Well, they WERE, but now 525K people have watched this video. 😛

Bet you probably didn't know that ryobi, rigid, and millwaukee are all owned by the same parent company and they are classed as good, better, and best - respectively!

Lmao can't even say millwaukee correctly!!! And this is supposed to be a tool channel, hahahahaha. 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😢😢😢

Great video

Lowes can GFT they just let one of my friends go after 23 years working for them!
thats what your service and being loyal to them will get you .....

eBay and other seller sites also charge $$$ to sell tools. It may be 15% on EBay.

nah then you have to ship it killin ur profit

You can't just sign up to Amazon like you do with ebay.

This doesn't work. I always go to the clearance end caps at HD. Yesterday, I was scanning over an endcap and started chatting with an employee who commented about the endcap clearances, "what do you think we do when we get in every morning". I've found a few good deals, but mostly it is picked over by employees or others who happen to be there when it is put out.
And on the website, anytime I come across a deal that is like 70%+ off, it is always sold out.

Or save half on offerup

I'm all about the warranty, not saving 9 bucks. Think people

Thank for showing everyone really awesome of you and I'm being sarcastic ruin a good thing for ppl

Dills? DLLs? Dhills?

Boxing and shipping items I’ve sold online is a huge timesuck.

Did not mention asking clerks/managers to override system and allow discounts like Veterans discount to apply to blocked products. Extra 10% can really move the needle gaming a wee bit further.

Seems like these folks have to much time not working,,, going by HD and Lows every day

Bull shit, time is money,the time that you spend on doing what he is saying eats up your profit.

I started working for Lowes when we had 165 stores and quit when we had 1500 , I used to buy EVERYTHING when it was in clearance back when we didn’t carry anything over so I would go to all the stores in Missouri and buy everything .
When Case knives went to the blister packs all the box Case knives were clearanced out and I bought over 500 pocket knives for 2 dollars apiece , I would buy all the table saws , all lawn mowers and then have auctions

If someone buys power tools from the store then sells it online the warranty is gone

Been doing this for years ...

Here in the UK major retailers like Screwfix are making offers on Dewalt, Makita etc. drill kits that are so good, that many people are buying them just for the batteries and charger. My local branch of a national pawn brokers. told me that they won't buy in bare tools anymore. The prices on Ebay are also rock bottom for particular tools, because of the number of people trying to sell off unwanted new tools.

Doesn’t sound like a good margin

I used to buy some Hitachi tools from a place called Big Sky Tool that sold "reconditioned" tools. The first few were pretty good deals, they looked like ones that had just been returned with no actual problems, then I got a cordless Dremel-type tool that the chuck stop had been installed backward, didn't work right, and made a hole in your thumb trying. They made it a huge hassle to return and replace, I don't believe anyone really even looked at the tool before sending it out. Then the last one I bought was a cordless drill that the chuck would tighten by hand but you couldn't un-tighten it by hand, you had to use a pair of channel locks to get it open?!?! I never heard of a problem like that and I couldn't figure it out. The company said "too bad", if you are too weak to loosen the chuck that is on you, not us!
At the time I was a building contractor who had been in the business for 30 years.
Goodbye, Big Sky Tools!

nobody ever accounts for the time it takes to go shop bring it home list it pack it mail it....if they did you would see they make hardly any money.........but people dont account for the time...ever........
