OA usually starts with retail/clearance finds or lead tools, then moves to Amazon validation: can you win/keep the Buy Box often enough, and does the Amazon price still leave margin after fees and shipping?

How to find Amazon products for online arbitrage
How to find and validate Amazon products for online arbitrage — price gaps, Buy Box likelihood, fees, and risk checks before you buy retail inventory.

Validate on the Amazon listing
Check current price vs history (is the Amazon price unusually high right now?), Buy Box competition, BSR sanity, and whether variations or gated categories create extra risk.
Risk filters that save money
Skip ASINs where price collapses weekly, Buy Box is chronically unavailable, or rank implies tiny demand. A good retail discount does not fix a bad Amazon competitive structure.
