How To Make The Greatest Comeback Of Your Reselling Career

by

Have you ever woken up, checked your Seller Central dashboard, and felt your stomach drop?

Account suspended. Listings deactivated. Brands gated overnight. Cash flow negative. Credit cards maxed. Inventory sitting in a warehouse collecting dust while the bills keep coming.

You are not alone.

As a reseller, this game will beat you down. And when it does, people will count you out. Your family will tell you to “get a real job.” Your friends will laugh behind your back. Your enemies and who never built anything real will celebrate your downfall.

Everyone will always underestimate you.

You owe it to yourself to prove them wrong.

And the only way to do that is by making a comeback. A comeback so devastating, so absolute, that it shuts every single one of them up permanently.

9 Reasons Resellers Stay Small (and Never Hit Their Full Potential)

by

How to Stop Playing Small Before the Game Spits You Out

Here’s the truth nobody on X or Instagram will tell you:
You’re not small because “the reselling market is dead.”
You’re small because you run your “business” like a lemonade stand with Wi-Fi.

Don’t make me laugh.

You’ve been in the same spot for years, watching other people scale past you, wondering what they’re doing that you’re not, but deep down you know.

I’ve been there. I crawled my way out through sheer determination and will, while you’re still telling yourself next month will be different. Let’s talk about why you’re stuck, and how to fix it before you burn out or crash out completely.

1. Manual Hustler Mindset

You list every item by hand. You reprice by hand. You check inventory levels manually or on paper by walking through your garage, storage unit or warehouse like prehistoric times.
Then you wonder why your sales flatline when you get sick or go on vacation. Or why you can never hit the next level.

You call it your “hustle” or “sigma grindset” like it’s a badge of honor. It’s not, it’s a self-inflicted prison. You are the bottleneck. Everything in your business depends on your fingers moving and your own effort.

I’ve seen sellers swear they’re too small to worry about automation… and then three years later they’re still stuck in the same rut, except now they’re tired, behind on orders, and thinking about quitting.

Looking to the next hype like AI, crypto or memecoins like it’s their way out of the grind.

They’re still in their home office, packing boxes on their dinner table, while in that same time I went from my garage, to a fully automated warehouse where all I now have to focus on is the acquisition of capital and the deployment of it into profitable inventory.

Soon even this will be automated as well.

We are worlds apart, but that is only because I put in the dues.

It’s time you do the same.

Solution:
Automate or die. Crosslist and reprice with SellerChamp. Read my guide on it if you’re serious about automation (most won’t because no one talks about it and it’s not flashy). Sync inventory by SKU across multiple channels to a WMS so it updates everywhere instantly. Your job is sourcing profitable products, not typing the same data into 5 different websites like an unpaid intern. Listing is only profitable when it is complete, no one cares if you did it or if your system did it. Most resellers equate the act of listing = making money. False. Active listings = making money. I spend very little time listing nowadays, and that is by design. Let that sink in.

2. No System = No Scale

You think your “system” is just knowing where inventory is in your head and maybe keeping a few Google Sheets tabs open. That’s not a system, that’s organized chaos. You’re one step away from losing track of inventory, double-selling, refunding orders, and writing a plan of action to Amazon for forgiveness and reinstatement.

When you “scale” without a system, all you’re really doing is scaling your own mess. You get more orders, true, but you also get more late shipments, more returns, and more stress until you’re up at 2 a.m. packing because you have no choice. That’s not growth. That’s a prison where only you hold the key but are too proud to admit it.

A real system is one you could hand to someone else and have them run it without blowing it up. If you can’t leave your business for a week without checking your phone every hour, you’re not running a business. You’re babysitting one.

Solution:
Stop pretending like your head is a filing cabinet. Document everything from sourcing to shipping. Use a proper WMS or inventory tool, not a color-coded spreadsheet with 19 tabs. We’re not in the eighties anymore. Research automation like it’s do or die. Write operating procedures so detailed a high schooler could step in and ship orders while you’re on a beach. Retarded teenagers can run McDonald’s, a billion-dollar company… your operation should be able to survive without you breathing down its neck. The tech exists — connect the pipes and let it run.

3. All-In on One Source

The one-store wonder. The “secret plug” guy. The “my distributor takes care of me” guy. The grifter selling only Adidas and Hoka calling it a “business”. Pathetic. They all look smart until their golden goose gets cooked. Then they’re on X unloading pallets for pennies, crying that “the game is dead.” No, your lazy sourcing strategy was dead the whole time. In fact, it was never a play. You just benefitted from circumstances out of your control.

These same circumstances out of your control also revealed that to be true.

This is like having your entire career depend on one client, and then they cut you out. Now you’re starving, and the worst part is you were too blind to see it coming. Sound like a job? That’s because that’s what it is. Most of these clowns didn’t build a business, they build loops. That’s why they never win.

Every source eventually changes policies, cuts discounts, or dries up. That’s the nature of the game, and that’s why adaptability isn’t an option, it’s a prerequisite. If 80% of your income comes from one place, you’re living on borrowed time.

Solution:
Build at least three to four totally separate sourcing streams — retail arbitrage, wholesale, OA, liquidation, local buyouts, whatever fits your model. Each one should be able to keep you alive on its own for a while. When one dies, you pivot without panic. If you can’t take a 50% hit to one source and keep moving, you’re already in the danger zone. Like Bruce Lee said, you must be like water. Most resellers are like jello. Useless, immobile and thrown away after 2 days in the fridge. Me, I’m always on the move. Nothing they do can stop me. Nothing they do can put me down. In fact, every time something bad happens, I level up. Mass regatings, I level up. Less competition and I seize market share. I never complain. I never give up. I flow like water.

4. The Channel Death Sentence

If 100% of your sales come through one platform, you’re basically asking to be wiped out.

Amazon-only sellers? One false IP complaint or a baseless “inauthentic” claim and your entire income is gone overnight. You’ll be on Seller Forums and X crying about your appeal while the smart sellers move your customers over to their listings in the shadows.

eBay-only? Enjoy being at the mercy of the algorithm, where your items disappear from search, or a sudden defect wave obliterates your account health. Lose Top-Rated Status due to a few cancelled orders, and you’re now invisible.
Walmart-only? Congratulations, you just volunteered to be a beta tester for their next broken seller update. Have fun opening a case and talking to these inadequate fucks.

The second that one platform falters, your business implodes.

When I was in ghost mode, I never let one marketplace be my leash. I learned to run my operation like a spiderweb — if one thread broke, the rest stayed intact. Meanwhile, I’ve watched other sellers build their “castle” on Amazon or Walmart sand… and cry when the tide came in.

I didn’t pray for them to fail. I built my own defenses in the shadows.

Solution:
Crosslist like your life depends on it, because it does. Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Best Buy, Newegg, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, Shopify, Google Shopping. Use SellerChamp to keep inventory synced so you don’t oversell. No single channel should ever be more than half your revenue. That way, when one locks the door, you’re already selling on four others. While others bitch on X you’ll be laughing to the bank.

5. Hype Chasing

If you heard about it in on X, TikTok, YouTube short or Instagram reel, you’re already too late. The $40 item flipping for $120? That was real two weeks ago when me and my inner circle were cooking it nonstop. Now it’s a knife fight to the bottom while early movers cash out and leave you holding overpriced stock. You need to join a powerful network.

Pokemon cards? Fuck out of here with that broke boy mindset.

I only buy Pokemon card in bulk when no one wants them, when no one sees their potential.

Not when every retard Timmy lines up at Sams Club and Target every day for the last 6 months. That’s when I dump my stock on the market, cash out and move on to more profitable plays in the shadows.

Hype chasers don’t build businesses, they gamble for dopamine. They’re addicted to the thrill of the “hot find” but allergic to doing the actual work of building a sourcing pipeline.

They don’t actually want to get rich. They only want validation or dopamine like junkies.

Pathetic.

I don’t chase hype. My leads come from my own data, my own alerts, my own routes. By the time the clout-chasers hear about it, I’m already 200 units deep and nearly sold out. By the time they go hunting, my network has already taken stock. By the time it hits Reddit for the masses? Sold out weeks ago.

Solution:
Build your own intelligence system. Keepa alerts. Wholesale catalogs. Hidden inventory you scan before the rest of the herd even wakes up. The best flips are the ones nobody’s talking about yet. If everybody knows, it’s already dead.

6. Bleeding on Fake “Investments”

Stacks of Pokémon cards singles “for the future.” Lego boxes piled to the ceiling because “they’re going to the moon”.

Let me save you the heartbreak, that’s not investing, it’s called hoarding. And it’s only a viable solution if you aren’t running a cash flow business. When you don’t need the money. Then you can sit on it. And even that is questionable. You think Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffet are sitting on pallets of Lego or Pokemon? Or buying real investments that have instant liquidity that they can tap into at any given moment?

The reality is that most of it will rot in value until you either dump it at a loss or keep it long enough to explain to your spouse why your “retirement plan” is still collecting dust.

Look what happened to Funko Pops, most are worthless now. Maybe they’ll come back, but “maybe” is a joke of an investment strategy.

Pokemon cards aren’t guaranteed to moon. They already did. Modern Pokemon cards are overprinted to oblivion. Vintage and Modern are nothing alike. Many times I think we might be in the junk wax era of Pokemon cards. My sweet spot is about 4 year hold. Buy the blood, sell the hype. I do keep some sealed in storage, but nothing crazy.

When I was a kid, YuGiOh cards were what everyone kept pristine in binders. The rich dude in the TV show, Kaiba, had suitcases full of rare YuGiOh cards. So everyone thought those would be worth bank in the future. Pokemon cards were the garbage you bought when YuGiOh cards were sold out. You played with them on concrete streets with your boys when you were bored. Now they’re worth so much cause no one saw the value in them. Meanwhile, YuGiOh cards are fucking worthless cause everyone kept them pristine. You think modern Pokemon cards will appreciate like the cards from back in the day? People nowadays are grading absolute trash, calling it investment. The PSA slab is worth more than the card inside. Don’t me laugh. Junk wax era.

The masses are always wrong. Sheep.

Pokemon Cards are like LEGO where they will appreciate once they go out of print due to FOMO and retards investing at high prices. But beyond that, I’m not sure. It could go either way. Don’t bank too much on it. It’s not crypto. It’s cardboard.

I used to think like this early on. I had a few “long-term holds” I swore would hit big later. Some did. A lot of it didn’t. Every dollar parked there was a dollar not flipping 3–4 times a month into real, compounding profit. At the end of the day, 99% of the time you’ll just break even if you consider the time it took for you to get the price you actually want.

Solution:
Cap speculation at 1-5% of your total capital. If it doesn’t sell for a profit now, it’s not an asset. It’s dead weight liability. Liquidate the hype hoard, take the loss if you have to, and redeploy that cash into inventory that actually moves. The real play: float inventory 60 days on Amex Plum, sell it same day FBM and get paid in 1-2 weeks. Do this enough times and you become insanely cash flow positive and liquid.

7. Following Grifters

If your entire playbook comes from gurus, paid groups, or “exclusive” chats — you’re not building a business, you’re renting one.

These people aren’t making their real money from flipping product. Their real product is you. You fund their lifestyle while they dump the very inventory they just told you to buy.

When I was starting, I took advice where I could, but I never relied on it. I built my own database, my own contacts, my own playbook. Now I don’t need anyone to tell me what’s hot. I already know before they do. In fact, I’m the one who has the sauce in my mind.

Solution:
Stop paying for dependency. Pick one or two trusted sources for perspective and ignore the rest. Build your own sourcing intel so you’re never waiting on someone else’s list. The goal is to be the person who feeds the hype machine, not the one buying from it. Be a producer, not a consumer. Most resellers are fucking consumers cosplaying as producers.

8. No Credit, No Leverage

If you can’t pull the trigger on a $10k buy immediately, you’re permanently behind the curve. Waiting for payouts is how opportunities pass you by while the sellers with credit clean the shelves and own the market for the next 30 days.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

This is also true in the game of reselling.

Credit isn’t for flexing. It’s for speed. It is power. It’s the tool that lets you outbuy your competition, secure bulk volume, and keep cash flowing at a much higher rate. Used wrong, it’s a noose. Used right, it’s a lever that moves your entire business forward.

I’ve landed deals that doubled my monthly profit simply because I could say “yes” in 30 seconds and fund it the same day.

Solution:
Build business credit now. Make it a top priority moving forward. Obtain high-limit business cards like Amex Plum or Chase Ink with long float periods by any means necessary. If you can’t do so, make credit repair your #1 focus. .Only use credit for proven, fast-moving inventory. Pay it off before interest hits. Never pay CC interest. If you can’t use it responsibly, you’re not ready to scale.

9. Burnout & Crash-Out

Burnout doesn’t start as “I quit.” It starts as “I’ll list it tomorrow” and “I’m sick of peeling clearance stickers off.” Then it becomes weeks of inaction, declining sales, and a quiet slide into irrelevance.

That’s when young 18 year hustlers with hunger and fire in their eyes absolutely obliterate you and eat your lunch. Or someone like me with systematized operations comes in and absolutely dominates the game just cause I find it fun.

The crash-out can get ugly. It’s the seller who built their whole identity on one trend, one brand,or one category, rode it until it tanked, then vanished. No backups. No pivots. Just a garage full of dead stock and a ghosted social media account. On to the next get-rich-quick scheme.

I’ve felt the early stages of burnout before, but I built systems, developed automation, and diversified channels so the business kept running even when I needed a break. That’s why I’m still here while others are long gone.

The vision is full automation, where one man runs a business on the scale of Amazon, fully automated by AI and robotics. If this vision interests you, check out my new website which will be less about reselling and more about automation.

Solution:
Automate before you feel “ready.” Train people on your systems. Diversify so one crash doesn’t take you out. Build redundancy into your processes so you can disappear for a week and still be raking in sales. If you can’t step away without the whole thing falling apart, you’re one bad month from being finished.

Bottom line:
Most resellers stay small because they’re stuck working hard in all the wrong ways.
The ones who break through:

  • Automate everything repetitive
  • Spread risk across sources and platforms
  • Use credit as a lever, not a lifeline
  • Build systems so the business isn’t glued to them

The rest? They run in circles until the game spits them out.

Their loss becomes our gain.

Until next time,

Business Is War — Most Resellers Were Never Built for Battle

by

Most resellers don’t understand the game they’re playing. They want predictability. They want stability. They want Amazon to hold their hand, the rules to always stay the same, and the profits to roll in without a fight. The moment things change—brands start gating, Amazon tightens up, or competition increases—they panic. Pathetic.

They get depressed.
They start talking about how “Amazon isn’t what it used to be.”
They long for the good old days.

But let me be clear: business is war.
And war doesn’t care about your feelings.

War is ruthless. Business is cutthroat.

And if you want to win, you must be both ruthless and cutthroat.

You think George Washington gave up when shit hit the fan?

No, he endured in the trenches, he tasted dirt and survived. That’s why we remember his name.

Not like these clowns on X who crumble like cookies in milk when Amazon gates them in the only two brands they sell.

Most resellers are soft.
They came up during the fake scale era so they don’t know the taste of hard work and discipline.

You remember — PPP loans, easy arbitrage, lax policies. People shipping stolen goods, Telegram distributors, fake invoices, gift card stacking, grifters pushing low-effort get-rich-quick schemes. Amazon didn’t give a fuck. You could send in trash to FBA and it would sell. And these people really thought they were building something. What a joke.

But what they were working on wasn’t scale, it was bullshit.
And when Amazon cracked down, they got exposed as frauds.

Now we’re in the reset era.
And it was absolutely necessary.

Frauds? Wiped out.
The soft? Shaken out.
The overleveraged sneaker outlet goblins? Crying on Instagram.
OA grifters? Protesting on Twitter.

Pathetic.

But here’s what many forget: a lot of good people got swept away too. Not because they were shady—but because they were never ready for war. They were compliant. Well-behaved. Followers. Sheep.

They weren’t builders.
They weren’t ruthless.

What they were looking for was a job.
Stability.
If you want stability, go get a job at a cubicle, war is not where you belong.

Stability chasers are weak.
They crave comfort, reliability and predictability.

These are things only employees can obtain, not the entrepreneur deep in the trenches of war.

Much of this comes from how most of these people got into the game in the first place.
They wanted to get rich quick.
They wanted immediate results.

What’s even more dangerous is that some of them actually did.
And that was the worst thing that could’ve happened to them.
Because it gave them the illusion that they were invincible.
That they had figured it all out.

So they stopped learning.
Stopped building.
And when things changed—they had nothing to fall back on.

They thought they were motherfucking GODS.

Don’t make me laugh.

Someone in my Discord said recently:

“It’s getting hard to ungate brands. Most want 100–500 units just to even start.”

Good.
That’s called a moat. A barrier to entry.

In the Millionaire Fastlane, MJ DeMarco speaks of the importance of barriers to entry. Without them, you do not have a viable business.

You should be thankful for these barriers.
Because that’s what keeps the average seller out.

You think I haven’t been regated?
You think I haven’t hit walls?

I didn’t cry. I didn’t tag Amazon Seller Support on X and beg Amazon to save my business. I didn’t beg other people on X for advice and then when I inevitably gave up, tell everyone selling on Amazon is dead and to get into brand building. I adapted. I leveled up. I expanded to Walmart. I crosslisted to eBay. I dialed in my systems. I organized my warehouse, my SKUs, my buy lists. I turned every pain point into process. Every hurdle into leverage. Things these dipshits on X could never understand.

Just like 50 Cent said in The 50th Law:

“Turn shit into sugar.”

That’s the mindset you need. Every setback is an opportunity if you know how to reframe it. You just need to stop acting like this is a job. This isn’t employment. This is war. You are building a machine that can outmaneuver, outscale, and outlast. If you didn’t want to do that, then go get a job because you will never achieve job security as a hustler.

Amazon doesn’t owe us a dime. This is nothing more than cold hard facts. They provide the platform, we sell on it. It is our job to distribute the flow of goods in the way that makes us the most money.

Amazon’s job is to maximize their profits and enhance the customer experience.

This means dipshits who arbitrage socks using Rakuten and gift cards as a winning strategy are useless. Gone.

This means retards who go to the outlet every day, overleverage and buy shoes and ship to FBA with no systems. Gone.

Only the strong with systems survive.

Because they are indispensable.

Most resellers? They got used to easy mode.
They thought FBA would always print, with minimal effort.
They thought they could operate with zero infrastructure forever.
Working out of their garage, using VAs, prep centers and no systems of their own..

Now that money isn’t raining from the skies, fucking dimwits are looking around like:

“Wait… this is hard?”

Yes. It’s supposed to be.

That’s what makes it worth it.
That’s what gives you an edge.

The lazy are gone. The copycats are lost.
The fake operators who never built real systems? Eliminated.

And what’s left?
Margin. Opportunity. Dominance.

Because you now have fewer people to compete with—and those who remain? They’re either scared, stuck, or still trying to revive the past.

Meanwhile, I’m laying bricks daily.
Crosslisting relentlessly.
Dialing in workflows.
Building my moat.
And becoming unbreakable.

This is how you win:

  • Stop crying about ungates.
  • Learn to see friction as a filter.
  • Build systems that outlast policy shifts.
  • Understand that every change is a chance to get stronger.

Amazon might loosen up later. But that’s irrelevant.
You win now—in hard mode.
You build now—when it’s not easy.
You rise now—while others quit like pussies.

Because the ones who treat business like war?
We don’t get shaken out. We don’t get emotional.

Emotions are for bitches, complaining is for clowns.

Protesting for things to be different is for the pathetic.

See reality as it is, and extract as much success as we can from every opportunity.

Dominate and don’t stop fucking moving.

5 Tools I Use to Scale My AMZ Business To The Next Level

by

Running a successful Amazon business isn’t just about flipping products nonstop. It’s about building a machine.

This is what amateur resellers who never go pro don’t seem to understand. They cling on to their past habits, old ways of doing things, even if it means their system (or lack of one) is completely inefficient.

They trade time to save a few pennies, while those who achieve scale are willing to invest money to buy back valuable time. This means building systems, workflows, and tools that reduce friction, eliminate bottlenecks and increase speed without compromising quality.

Instead, quality goes up.

Over the past year, I’ve invested in tools that helped me scale faster, automate nonsense, and stop wasting time on things that don’t add to the bottom line.

Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you decide to buy through them.
It doesn’t cost you anything extra — but if you’ve found my free content valuable and want to support what I’m doing, I’d truly appreciate it. If not, no worries — I’m still glad you’re here.

I told you we were going to scale to the next level, and I am a man of my word. That’s why I disappeared and came back a year later. I had to go ghost mode, face my demons and completely overhaul everything I thought was true about my business, to become born again.

We’re about to scale to the moon while our competition fiddles around with their label roll holders made out of pencils to save ten bucks.

Let’s get into it.

🖨️ 1. Zebra ZT411 – Industrial-Grade Label Power

This printer changed my warehouse workflow.

Before the ZT411, I wasted hours fixing jams, misaligned labels, slow print speeds, and cheap desktop printers such as the Rollo printer (garbage), Pedoolo (best value for beginners), and Zebra ZP450 (outdated now) that couldn’t keep up.

Also, I couldn’t plug and play the free UPS rolls I showed you how to get in a previous article, and had to rely on stacks (not always available, create desk clutter, and can also cause jams if not kept straight).

The ZT411 is an industrial-grade workhorse, and if you’re serious about Amazon or warehouse automation, this is the label printer to get.

  • Blazing fast print speed: It churns out 4×6 shipping labels or FNSKU labels with zero lag
  • Supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer: Meaning you can use regular UPS labels or create your own custom labels if you add ribbons (not required)
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet: Print wirelessly from any station or device (I use USB)
  • Handles free UPS rolls inside: No rewinding, no adapters
  • Internal Guides: The labels don’t shift. It’s impossible for them to anymore.
  • Minimal downtime: No jams, no headaches — it just runs

If you ship hundreds of orders per day, this is an investment in your peace of mind. It’s also key for task delegation, because most employees do not know how to fix label jams. With this printer, you won’t have any jams left to fix. Also, you’ll save thousands on labor hours over the lifespan of this machine. This machine is a tank, and is virtually indestructible. It might last the rest of your life anyways.

If you are shipping out only a few orders a day, this is overkill. Get the cheap Pedoolo for now, use the fuck out of it and save up for one of these for your next upgrade.

I’d grab a solid used one on Amazon, with their flexible return policy. eBay is more hit or miss, and I’ve had sellers ship me printers in a Priority Mail box with no filler, rattling around, coming shattered in pieces. I had to file a claim to get my money back from eBay (which I did), but was a complete waste of time.

These printers last forever, and are extremely modular, meaning you can easily repair/refurbish it yourself, so I wouldn’t buy it new unless you’re absolutely drowning in cash.

📱 2. Zebra TC53/TC58 – Your Mobile Warehouse Brain

Think of this as a scanner, smartphone, sourcing tool, and warehouse management control device in your hand.

The TC53 and TC58 are rugged Android-based mobile computers built for speed and accuracy. I use them for almost everything in my warehouse and during sourcing runs. My second phone is now a TC58 with 5G data plan and 200GB hotspot. I also have the TC53 at the warehouse which my employee uses (TC53 is wifi only). With hot-swappable batteries, I never run out of batteries when sourcing. I also never need to worry about bringing an extra bluetooth scanner around.

  • Scan barcodes lightning fast with enterprise-grade accuracy (even damaged or curved ones). Even scans from further distances.
  • Ergonomic scanning for streamlined operations
  • Run apps like SellerAmp, and Airtable for building buy lists on the go. Key for data entry.
  • Track inventory, putaway, and picking tasks directly in your WMS
  • Hot-swap batteries so you’re never out of power in the middle of a shift or on a sourcing trip
  • Optional hand straps or RS5100 ring scanner compatibility for hands-free scanning

I use the RS5100 for hands free picking to tote as well. It definitely streamlines order picking significantly. I mount my TC58 on the cart, while I wear the ring scanner and pick effortlessly.

These devices make consumer phones look like toys in a warehouse. If you want to make moves like Amazon, this is the kind of hardware they use.

🏷️ 3. Zebra ZQ630 – Mobile Labeling Printer

Labeling shouldn’t mean running back to your station 10 times per hour. The ZQ630 lets you label anything, anywhere — whether you’re prepping items for FBA, labeling shelves, or restickering barcodes. I have my ZQ630 setup with my wireless network, which means any computer in my warehouse can print to it effortlessly. No USB needed. I use it with the ZQ630 cradle, which keeps it charged 24/7. It also works wirelessly with InventoryLab, if you use it. When I prep FBA or WFS, i just grab my ZQ630 off the cradle and bring it to wherever I happen to be staging my shipment.

  • Works wirelessly with your devices
  • Supports 2×1, 3×1, 4×6 and 30334 label formats
  • Attaches to a belt or cart for enhanced mobility
  • Excellent for cycle counting, inventory audits, or correcting mislabeled inventory on the fly

It’s one of those tools that once you have it, you wonder how you lived without it.

There’s a reason why stores like Walmart, Marshalls and Target use these. They’re beasts.

📦 4. BetterPack 555eS – Automate Your Tape

This is my FBM secret weapon.

If you’re still using a manual tape gun to seal boxes, you’re wasting time and probably overusing tape.

If you use one of those little tape dispensers you get at Dollar Tree or Walgreens, you’re not even taking this seriously.

The BetterPack 555eS is an electric water-activated tape dispenser that spits out perfectly measured, moist, and secure kraft tape at the press of a button.

  • Saves time on every box — no fumbling with tape guns or tearing by hand
  • Stronger and cleaner seal than plastic tape
  • Programmable lengths and auto-feed modes for even faster packing

For high-volume FBM sellers, this is a non-negotiable upgrade. My packing speed went up and my tape costs went down.

Here’s a link to the water activated tape I use, which is good and cheap.

📦 5. ULINE Packing Table – Ergonomic Workflow

Ergonomics might not interest you at all, but bad table setups cause clutter, lost tools, slower pack times, and back pain. I wasted so much time without a dedicated packing station. Not only that, but I would wander around looking for the right box, tool or polybag. Nothing was in its place. Clutter everywhere, stress out of control. I eventually couldn’t take it any longer.

My ULINE packing station solves all of that:

  • Shelves for boxes, tape, and supplies
  • Touch screen monitor ergonomically placed (no need for keyboard/mouse)
  • Tape machine and label printers at hand
  • Empty space to pack your order
  • Everything stays where it should be — no hunting for a box. I don’t need to move at all.

It’s a packing station that actually makes you want to pack.

If you have a ULINE near you, go and pick it up in the warheouse yourself. You’ll save hundreds on freight shipping. Luckily there’s a ULINE 20 min from me. If you don’t have a ULINE near you, you might have to pay significantly more. (Not affiliate, just dope)

🧰 Honorable Mention: Grainger Redpass – Box Supplier

Grainger isn’t just for industrial parts — it’s one of the best-kept secrets for e-commerce box sourcing.

With a Redpass account, which is a dirt cheap one time yearly fee:

  • You get free next-day shipping on a wide range of box sizes (comes in 1 day via FedEx)
  • You’ll never run out of the right size box

Whether you’re shipping FBM or prepping FBA shipments, this will keep things moving.

When I source an item that doesn’t fit in any of the box sizes I already have, no worries, I just place an order and from the next day I’m ready to ship with no hassles.

🧠 Final Thoughts: Tools = Leverage

Every tool on this list saves me time, energy, or mental bandwidth — and most of them do all three.

Avoiding overwhelm is key when trying to scale to the next level.

Scaling your Amazon business doesn’t mean working harder. It means building repeatable systems that run smoother over time. These tools helped me do exactly that — and they’re the foundation of why my operations now feel like a machine. This is how you build a well-oiled machine.

Again, if you want to support my content, feel free to use the Amazon links when I share them — it helps me keep putting this stuff out for free. But no pressure — I’m glad you’re here either way.

Until next time.

Wholesale Clowns Going Bust, And Now They’re Selling You Their Failed Blueprint

by

This is the next chapter in our series on the grifters and clowns in this industry.

You already saw what happened to the Rakuten flippers, the VA automation guys, the prep-center junkies. They got exposed. Systemless. Blind. Useless.

Now the wholesale gurus are going bust too.

You can’t make this shit up.

It’s like these clowns wanted to be the example for my article, the timing is immaculate.

Amazon Lit, gurus who were supposedly $70M/year seller going through court-ordered liquidation.

Acting like suing Amazon, losing everything and having to liquidate your entire business is “totally normal at this scale bro”.

Why?

Because they were running a clown show. Repackinging licensed candy like Warheads and Lemonheads, slapping their own fake label on it—“Common Classic”—and sending it straight into FBA like Amazon wouldn’t notice.

Treating intellectual property laws like a fucking joke.

Amazon froze millions of their cash, and suspended their account.
Now they’re on Instagram doing eulogies, talking about pivoting to software and education.

Clown shit.

🧠 The Playbook of the Fallen Guru

We’ve seen this movie play out over and over again

  1. Build a high-volume Amazon business.
  2. Ignore systems, risk, and diversification.
  3. Get suspended, frozen, sued, or go bankrupt.
  4. Post a “we’re grateful for the journey” shutdown message.
  5. Pivot to coaching or software.
  6. Say “Amazon is still a great opportunity!” so they don’t scare their potential customers (who they need to pay off their debt)
  7. Start selling the dream they couldn’t keep. Pathetic.

Meanwhile, they:

  • Can’t reopen their own account
  • Don’t crosslist to multiple channels
  • Don’t do any FBM
  • Don’t have a warehouse anymore
  • Don’t use a WMS
  • Don’t operate at all

But they’ll gladly take $997 for a mentorship.

💀 “We Know Tons of People Still Killing It”

Cool story.

But are you killing it?

Because if you couldn’t:

  • Protect $4M in capital
  • Survive a 10-day suspension
  • Build a multi-channel fallback
  • Train a lean team to outlast chaos

Then what the fuck exactly are you teaching?

That’s like crashing a plane, then pivoting to selling a pilot course while you’re still trying to get shards of metal out of your arm. Pathetic.

🔥 Here’s the Real Story

They’re not building anymore—they’re monetizing the illusion of their old business.

They’re hoping people are too distracted, too desperate, or too starstruck to question it.

But we see right through their bullshit.
We see it for what it is:

A professional quitter repackaging failure as mentorship. Pathetic.

🤡 And Then There’s Avery

Another fucking grifter clown.

Got banned for selling counterfeit textbooks.
Cried on YouTube begging Amazon for a second chance.
Didn’t get it.

Now he runs “Miami Sellers Conference” and surrounds himself with other failed sellers and ex-Amazon operators.
He doesn’t sell anymore, but somehow he’s positioned himself as a thought leader.

Someone in Discord posted a funny image of him crashing out on Facebook comments.

The moment someone called him out for hypocrisy, what’s his response?

  • “Get T shots.”
  • “Rebecca’s boobs get more views than your life.”
  • “You’re just mad.”

Wtf?

That’s what happens when you chase clout instead of control. You crash out on Facebook when anyone points out the obvious.

Never forget, birds of a feather flock together.

Charlatans defend other charlatans, while real hustlers continue to build in the shadows.

Meanwhile, My Inner Circle Is Still Grinding in the Trenches

You want to know the difference?

While these clowns were crying over frozen funds and pivoting to webinars, we were:

  • Ruthlessly cutting overhead
  • Locking in systems to prevent overselling
  • Setting up clean crosslisting across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Shopify
  • Buying extremely low and selling high
  • Building warehouse flows, bin systems, batch workflows
  • Logging receipts, UPCs, ASINs, and expiration dates meticulously
  • Building systems to outsource repetitive tasks and developing automation

We didn’t run or cry on YouTube like these dipshits.
We kept building.

You can feel the difference. One path leads to cashflow. The other to conference tickets. Pathetic.

You know how they say those who can’t do, teach.

That is so fucking true.

The Clown Funnel Is Imploding

And now they’re trying to sell you the exact model that just got them wiped out.

Read that again.

They scaled with prep centers, cashback, unlicensed product, and cheap overseas labor.
The second Amazon pushed back, they folded.
Now they’re posting quitter speeches like it’s their retirement. Then selling mentorship the next day.

These guys aren’t mentors.
They’re marketers.
They’re not role models.
They’re frauds.
They sold out, got caught, and now they’re desperately trying to cash in on their way to the exits.

What a fucking joke.

Don’t confuse noise for power. Real builders are quiet because they’re working.

Final Thoughts: Clout Isn’t a Business Model

If you got banned, liquidated, or sued…
And you didn’t build a fallback system…
And your only pivot is selling advice to others?

Then you’re not a teacher.
You’re a grifter.

But if you’re here reading this? You’re not like these low lives. You’re still standing. Still moving inventory. Still building infrastructure.

That’s why you’ll win.

The clown funnel is dead.
The king’s table has more room now.

Let’s connect on in my new Discord group.
We’re building systems while everyone else is building audiences or flexing Rollies they can hardly afford.
Execution only. No ego. No fluff.

Let’s take this shit to another level.

Until next time.
