Are you participating in reselling or in buyer’s groups? I could write a book on the former after years of playing and scaling that game; but first I’d have to recover from my mental battle damage and figure out how to restate some of my feelings in a less hostile way, because it actually can be a very good gig.

In case you are, Amazon is sending out offers for $100 off of $300 for creating an Amazon Business account. To get one:

  • Create a new personal account — I used the same information as my normal personal account, other than the email address.
  • Get identified by Amazon’s algorithms as a business buyer — Buy a few things over a few months that are clearly for resale (high value electronics, not normal household items)
  • Watch for en email with the subject “Get $100 off your first Amazon Business purchase”

I already had another personal and business account, so I believe you can churn this. It’s not an instant money maker, but after a couple of months you’ll probably be able to get $100 in your pocket for buyer’s group or resale activities. Just watch for falling fireball-laden mind bombs.

Now is probably the best time of the year to dip into reselling because the volume is, as Gwen Stefani would say, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. If you’re online or out-and-about and you see any of the following:

  • Nintendo Switch bundle with Mario Kart and 3 Months Switch Online
  • Xbox Series X
  • Playstation 5

… then buy one, two, or as many as you feel comfortable with. (My brother loves to say “Buy now, think later!” — I strongly disagree, but it might be true in this singular case.) List them on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp and you’re almost guaranteed to make $50-$300 for each item, plus card spend, portal cash-back, dosh cash, etc.

If reselling isn’t for you, don’t stress, just play your new console and eat yo’ turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!
