Most people walk through a Target clearance aisle and see cheap leftovers. Summer Trenkle saw a seven-figure business.
She’s turned retail arbitrage — buying discounted items in stores and reselling them on Amazon — into a career most people don’t even realize exists. To some, it sounds too simple to be real. To others, it sounds like a scam. But Summer proves it’s neither. With strategy, discipline, and smart systems, she’s built a thriving business that’s changing the way women think about financial freedom.
In this conversation, Summer breaks down what retail arbitrage actually is, why so many people misunderstand it, and the simple steps anyone can take to start. From the misconceptions to the pitfalls to the exact tips she uses herself, she opens up about how she went from shopping trips to seven figures — and how you could too.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The surprising truth about retail arbitrage and why it works
- The biggest myths and misconceptions about Amazon reselling
- Step-by-step tips to start small and scale smart
- The hardest lessons Summer learned along the way
