The paper towel roll also makes a perfect place to store your scissors while not in use. The scissors are used for multiple purposes, such as cutting poly bags, opening up boxes, cutting labels, and more. Plus, it’s just a good idea to have a roll of paper towels around. Scissors and Paper Towels – When you are cleaning sticker residue off of your inventory, you’ll need to use paper towels to help wipe up the mess. I’m just sure to put the sticker back on before purchasing the item or putting it back on the store shelf.į. I sometimes even use a Scotty Peeler when doing retail arbitrage in case a store puts a price sticker over the UPC barcode. If any of the sticky residue remains on the item, simply use the Goo Gone and scrape off the goo with the Scotty Peeler. These tools are the perfect way to peel off the stickers from the item without damaging the original package.
Scotty Peelers – One of the most annoying parts of retail arbitrage is taking off the price stickers of your latest inventory purchase. Some other alternatives are Un-Du and even lighter fluid.Į. Note: There are many different products that you can use to remove the sticky adhesive left behind from a sticker. For really stubborn goo, use the Scotty Peeler in combination with the Goo-Gone to scrape away the excess goo. Simply spray some Goo Gone onto the sticky residue, and it will wipe off fairly easily.
Goo Gone Spray Gel – Don’t you hate it when there is a price sticker on an item that just won’t come off cleanly? Goo Gone is the perfect solution to help get the sticky “goo” off your item. I use my 2-inch tape gun in multiple ways: 1) Secure bubble wrap when protecting a breakable item 2) Tape over FNSKU labels that I worry might fall off of an item I’ve bubble wrapped 3) Close up small holes in poly bags 4) Secure smaller cardboard boxes that I use for bundles 5) Tape over UPS labels that I worry might peel off in the heat of the summer, and so much more.ĭ. 2-Inch Tape Gun – While the 3-inch tape gun is perfect for securing shipping boxes, the 2-inch gun is better suited for smaller taping jobs. Now, I just use one strip of 3-inch tape to secure the base of the box and one strip of 3-inch tape to close the top of the box. I was using too much tape and wasting time as well. For years, I’d only used a 2-inch tape gun, but one day I realized I was using about three strips of tape each time I was securing the bottom and top of the box.
