I haven't had a box from walmart yet from amazon, but know a guy who clears 6 figures a year doing this walmart arbitrage. I don't know how long he has in that business model before amazon starts price matching walmart.

His problem won't be Amazon price matching. It will be the drove of other arbitrage drones moving in on his products.

Then you hire employees to do the shopping. It doesn't take too many sales to get to the point where you need employees to do the shopping and packaging if you're in eCommerce arbitrage.

You sell item on amazon for $300

When one sells, you go place an order on Walmart.com for $150 and ship directly to the amazon buyer.

No risk of holding inventory. Pretty easy profit if your competition is low.

Walmart sells something for $8, you list it for $12.
