Some opportunities are so gargantuan, there’s no sense in only going in halfway. That was the case for a retail-arbitrage reseller who recently spotted what looked like a massive pricing error on premium Nitto Grappler tires online, with the potential of cashing in a mid-five-figure return if he acted fast.
In a TikTok clip, creator @marketplaceflipsandtips shares the details of his gambit on buying 50 sets of the premium off-road tires for less than $100 per tire, or less than 25% of their typical retail price. By borrowing every spare dollar he could, he hoped to capitalize on the pricing glitch for a rare, major score.
“This is the price that I can flip these for $1,000 a set tomorrow and, like, sell them all. And I can pick them up for $400 a set,” he said in the clip that’s been viewed more than 35,000 times.
The opportunity first surfaced through a tip from a friend.
“I get a text from a buddy, and he's like, 'Hey man, these Nitto Grappler tires right now are $93 on Walmart.com,'" the creator explained.
