Testimonials

“Zach goes above and beyond to help everyone find discontinued products. I tried finding some once way back and didn’t enjoy it at all. With Zach’s guidance, it is now my favorite type of flipping! One of my favorites is finding a discontinued deodorant from a local pharmacy for $4.65 and selling it for $70 on Amazon in a few days! I was in total shock! Discontinued products have definitely helped my cash flow and has helped my business grow tremendously! Zach has always been there to help answer questions and give amazing bolos. I cannot thank him for everything he does!” – Dean

“Zach’s discontinued product leads are amazing. The first one I saw, became our first sale and has launched almost half a million in Amazon sales. I am now self-employed and have a successful resale business that continues to grow.” – Derek T

“Being able to find ‘soon to be discontinued’ products and stock up on them well in advance of the products being discontinued is a HUGE opportunity on Amazon. Customers who are eager to find more of their rapidly vanishing favorite products are willing to pay top dollar. This is a potent strategy for any online seller to learn!” – Jim Cockrum

“Selling discontinued products has become a big part of my reselling business. Zach has opened by eyes and shown me the possibilities of sourcing items that are discontinued. His knowledge is amazing, and because of his help, I’ll make an extra $20k+ profit this year just from discontinued items.” – Joe H.

“I retired after running a business for 38 years. I was selling on ebay for about a year, really just for something fun to do when I wasn’t golfing. One night my wife said “honey, I think you need to follow this guy”. That guy was Zach. That changed my reselling side hustle. We now plan trips where we can go to locally owned grocery and hardware stores. This has been addicting and fun and we do it together. We have found a lot of gold in those places. One of my most exciting things we found was 5 bottles of a discontinued laundry soap that cost about $25 total and it sold for $150, almost instantly. Another thing we found was 2 boxes of headache medicine that cost $7 and sold super fast for $55. It’s such a rush when you find this stuff. There is a ton of money to be made from discontinued products. People will pay for what they like. Our favorite saying when we are looking up and down the isles checking out a new place is “we’re gonna need a cart!” when we hit it big and find lots of bolo’s.” – Greg P

“I started reselling 4 months ago. I sell all kinds of products but discontinued items are my favorite. Below are examples why:

  • Low risk / high reward
  • Low-cost shipping
  • High profit margins

Example: I bought 2 cans of discontinued hairspray for $14.00 sold them for $200. That’s a whopping 1328% ROI. You can find these items at independent pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores, etc. Always look for dusty and faded labels, they usually are money. Customers that love their product that is hard to find or discontinued will pay a premium to be able to continue using their beloved products.” – Dan H

“I’ve never given feedback on a course before, but I LOVE the discontinued course. I actually started looking for discontinued products at the end of 2022 when money was very, very tight after I happened to find some in our bathroom closet. Zach knows his stuff! I would have never thought of looking online for any, but it does work! I lucked out and found someone selling a three-pack of Speed Stick Musk deodorant on Amazon for $25 and flipped them on Ebay for $115 plus shipping in less than 24 hours! (I could have made more, but I took an offer and opted for a quick flip.) I’ve also been finding a discontinued Ziploc product for $4 at local grocery stores and selling them FBM for $20-$30 each.

I know that some people think you can only find discontinued products at places like thrift stores, estate sales, yard sales, flea markets, etc. Which you can, but also major chain stores, drug stores, grocery stores… I have found them at Walmart, Walgreens, Publix, CVS and Dollar Tree.

I think this will be a great course for new and old sellers because the new ones can look for quick sales on Amazon or Ebay (depending on where it’s purchased) while they are out hunting for replens. It’s more lucrative than starting with books! And older sellers will have another stream to add to their business. I know that it’s “gravy” to add to the “meat” of a replens business, but it’s really fun “gravy!” – Michelle H.
