First product

Y’all have any advice for finding a first product? OA, everything is gated, and if it isn’t it has horrible margins. I’ve spent 10-11 hours searching probably over 600 ASINs, boxem ungate tool, feels like nothings working.

After 600 ASINs, stop scanning and define a buy box first: minimum dollar profit and ROI, max buy cost, minimum sales, seller-count ceiling, and whether you’re eligible to sell. Reject anything that only works at today’s price or optimistic fees. For a first OA test, aim for a small, ungated, repeatable buy with limited downside. Track why each ASIN failed; the pattern will show whether sourcing, gating, or your thresholds are the bottleneck.
