I'm excited to share that I've been doing arbitrage again, and this time, with my son, AJ, after taking some time off to do private label. I've missed the thrill of finding great deals at brick-and-mortar stores and reselling them for a profit online, and I'm looking forward to teaching my son the ropes and working together as a team. I am also excited to learn more from him with his fresh eyes and the new strategies we can develop together.
