How RiftKart works

Four steps from clearance rack to consistent revenue.

01

Source

Scan Currys, John Lewis, Boots, ASOS, and Very for clearance deals and flash sales. Buy below market value.

02

Research

Cross-reference Amazon UK prices, competition counts, and FBA fees to confirm margin viability before buying.

03

List

List across Amazon Seller Central, TikTok Shop Seller Centre, and eBay simultaneously. Use FBA for Amazon.

04

Scale

Reinvest profits into more product, better categories, and tighter sourcing. Compound the model.

Why RiftKart exists

Retail arbitrage has a reputation problem. People think it's just "flipping" — buy cheap, sell high, done.

RiftKart treats it like a real business. Systematic sourcing, multi-channel listing, disciplined margin requirements. The difference between arbitrage as a side hustle and a scalable model is infrastructure.

We build that infrastructure from day one.

  • Defined margin floor — Minimum 30% gross margin before any product enters the pipeline
  • Platform diversification — No single channel dependency. Amazon goes down, TikTok holds.
  • Capital efficiency — Moderate investment, high turnover. Reinvest, don't recapitalise.

"The gap between retail price and marketplace price isn't a glitch. It's an opening. And every opening has a window."

RiftKart Thesis

Retail arbitrage in the UK is more competitive than it was five years ago. But the opportunities haven't disappeared — they've moved. Clearance cycles still happen. Stores still misprice. Flash sales still exist. The difference between those who find them and those who don't comes down to systems.

RiftKart builds those systems. Sourcing pipelines, margin calculators, multi-platform listing workflows. The game isn't about finding one great deal. It's about running a machine that finds deals every week.
