FlipIQ Batch: FBA Sourcing

Retail arbitrage comes down to one question, asked in a store aisle with a cart in one hand: is this worth buying? FlipIQ answers it. Scan the barcode and the verdict lands in about a second, then fills itself in with market history while you are still standing at the shelf. KNOW YOUR PROFIT BEFORE YOU BUY Net ROI, margin, breakeven and max cost, all computed from the cost you actually pay. Move the cost and every number moves with it. The fee breakdown is line by line — Buy Box price, referral fee, fulfillment fee, inbound and prep, your cost, net profit — so you can see where the money goes instead of trusting a single figure. COMPARE FBA AND FBM Both channels side by side: fees, net proceeds, profit per unit and ROI. The item tells you which one it is worth buying for, rather than you defaulting to the one you always use. CHECK THE RISKS FIRST Whether your account can list it. Brand restrictions. Hazmat and heat sensitivity. Whether Amazon sells on the listing. These sit above the profit number on purpose: they are what turns an attractive deal into a dead one. LOOK BEYOND TODAY'S PRICE Ninety days of Buy Box history — who held it, how often it changed hands, how many sellers are really in the rotation. Monthly sales, estimated time to sell, how many units the listing can absorb, and what a lot of twelve returns per day. That last number is the one that decides things when your capital is tight. YOUR BUY LIST, PER STORE VISIT Open a visit when you walk into a store and every scan groups itself under it. Committed capital, projected profit and blended ROI update as you add units. Tick off what you actually bought, export the list, close the visit. EVERY VISIT ON THE RECORD Your visits are kept: which store, how long you were there, what you scanned, what you bought and what it is projected to return. Sourcing stops being a memory exercise. KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU DIDN'T BUY Track a product from its breakdown and find it again later, so the item you passed on at $40 is not the one you forget about. ESTIMATES, NOT PROMISES Every figure here is an estimate built from market data, and the app labels it as one. Fees can differ from your invoice, demand moves, and a listing that looks clean today may not be tomorrow. FlipIQ shows you observed facts and the arithmetic behind them.
