Retail Arbitrage Sparks Debate: Sun Cream Reseller Admits to Controversial Cap Swapping Tactic
A recent video has shed light on a controversial reselling strategy employed by an individual operating under the handle ResellRepublic. The video, uploaded on June 26, 2025, details the process of purchasing discounted sun cream from a Superdrug store and reselling it on Amazon for a significant profit. The creator demonstrates finding Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 30 sun cream in the clearance section, priced at £7.00. Using a scanning application, they project a sale price of £17.99 on Amazon, yielding a profit of £4.22 per unit and an estimated 60% return on investment. A contentious aspect of the strategy, as openly admitted in the video, involves replacing broken caps on the discounted sun cream bottles with new caps taken from other, full-priced bottles on the store shelves. The creator justifies this action by stating that products with broken caps cannot be sold on Amazon. After acquiring the products, the individual explains the next step is to send them to an Amazon warehouse for fulfillment, allowing Amazon staff to handle shipping once sales are made. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to engage if they wish to learn more about this reselling method.
