"Seminars are mentioned" Ahh, yes, of course.
So, if you knew how to make money doing x and genuinely wanted to share that info, how would you do so effectively without being perceived as a scam artist?
Your call on whether it's a genuine desire to share his success.

Here's his landing page: https://ose.teachable.com/p/how-to-make-your-first-1-000-sel... Your call on whether it's a genuine desire to share his success.

Not certainly - it's very common for a neighborhood to shoot up in value (because of something that individual homeowners don't do, like a major employer moving in or getting successful, or a train station being built, or a nearby neighborhood getting full), and so the market value of the same home at the same condition can increase dramatically just because the neighborhood has more demand.
40% in 2-3 years is pretty unlikely, even in the hottest markets. But even still, does that mean you discontinue shopping in the neighborhood altogether? Because all the surrounding homes would have seen the same increase?
I suspect if you look around say the Tesla Gigafactory, local housing prices had a massive spike at some point.

the article says "his business is making seven-figure profits"
Hmm. Seems unlikely given the manual nature of shopping at WalMart, shipping costs, returns, etc, on an $8M revenue base. Edit: He contradicts himself... "four years later, we're a team of 11 and we're doing well over $200,000 in sales per month" $200k/month isn't even close to $8M/year. And you aren't netting 7 figures with $200k/month and 11 employees. Now I'm thinking this is just a puff piece for his get-rich-qui…

The article might be exaggerating but it did state that he had 'millions in profits' at first paragraph. Salary is a different matter, CEOs of new companies dont earn from annual revenue but more from stock sales and gains. Paying 150k is also before taxing and profits and is an expense in wages. Taking a quick guess and say that this person has 1 million in profits, but most likely 1 million to 2 million in gross pr…
He also says he's doing $200k/month in one spot, then $8M/year in another. Smells funny.
$8 million is sales since starting.

40% in 2-3 years is unlikely, but still happens. Small town + business taking off can quickly dry up all available housing. I suspect if you look around say the Tesla Gigafactory, local housing prices had a massive spike at some point.

I will occasionally search Amazon for things whose prices I know, like Trader Joe's items or something I bought at a local store. Sometimes Amazon sells it themselves, in which case the prices are reasonable. But often, somebody random will be selling it at a large markup. My theory is that plenty of people are not particularly price sensitive and just want the thing to appear. I'm stubborn enough (or cheap enough) t…
I have a similar feeling when I look at houses to buy online. If I see the house was bought for 40%+ less just a few years ago, I refuse to give an offer. Even if the price seemed reasonable and it interests me. I refuse to reward people who bought low and want to flip it for much higher (if it increased reasonably, fine)
I am surprised that there is so much margin. Is this because: 1. Amazon product delivery is so convenient that users don't mind paying little extra or 2. Walmart discounts products valuing their warehouse space more. Thus not realizing there was demand for the product elsewhere or at a different time. Seems like it would be simple for Walmart to figure out this arbitrage and shelve products for longer time. Any thoug…

They are currently doing $200k in sales but "Since he started selling on Amazon, Grant says the business is on track to top $8 million in total sales by the end of this year." $8 million is sales since starting.
Good for him, but I really wish for a better class of business journalism. He's been doing this 4 years, and never made more than $150k/year. So he definitely isn't somebody who "makes millions".
