      I've tried this before and can work well BUT you need to be very diligent and careful of the pallets you buy and take EVERYTHING into consideration before buying such as condition of goods, prices of goods, how much are items being sold for on average on Amazon, etc.

      When doing this business be patient and do not be in a haste to buy pallets and make money. Take your time and evaluate what you are buying. Trust me, been there done that.

      If your not diligent and your not patient you can lose ALOT of money in this business. Also be prepared to have to test out each and every item before actually putting online to sell. Don't want to sell an item new or even used that doesn't work or even only works halfway. Will come back to bite you in the butt.

    Success on Amazon depends on if you have fast or steady selling products. Consequently, before you even think of selling something on Amazon you need to research best selling products on Amazon. When you find these then you go and look for suppliers of same or similar products and then list them on Amazon. If you have carried out your research and know that products in that pallet sells well on Amazon then by all means go for it. However if you don't know whether or not the products will sell I will hesitate buying them.

      Hydraman I have to say I totally disagree with you on this. Making buying decisions based on the most popular products (which is just a snapshot in time anyways) is like buying gold at a record high.

      They key is to be on those products BEFORE they become the best selling products, or bundle top selling items with another item to ride the wave as the only seller.

      I haven't taken your course, but what works for me is scouting for products in the 1000-3000 SR, because I've learned that those are the items that at anytime can shoot to bestseller status. Sourcing products at their peak popularity makes you late to the party imo.
