JungleFlip

Find open box deals from Amazon!

I stumbled on a department within Amazon called, "Amazon Warehouse Deals": basically the "open-box" aisle of Amazon. Some of the deals were unbelievable, but it was hard to find the good deals. JungleFlip was born!

Launched!

I'm not a big fan of "launches" for side projects. Part of the initial process is discovering what works and what doesn't. A "soft launch" allows you to correct issues or adjust your marketing message. Instead, I take my time and go slow in the beginning.

For JungleFlip, I started off by focusing on one audience. Resellers. There is a niche community of people that make extra cash by finding discounted items and reselling them on eBay, Craigslist, etc. I figured they'd be a perfect fit. Wrong. They were critical and skeptical of the service. So, I adjusted my target.

Started working on JungleFlip

I studied the Amazon API and started writing code. The technical challenges were actually much harder than I'd anticipated. Amazon didn't give up all of the information I wanted, so I had to get creative.
