I've been doing retail arbitrage dropshipping for over 10 years now with some decent success
for pretty much $0 investment. There's no risk at all and no need to invest any money
to make money (although you have to put in a lot of time which many would argue is
money).

I'm still doing it today and I really do enjoy it. The problem has always been however
manually loading dozens of merchant websites and searching for the products and
price comparing. That is a PITA.

I've been wondering for all these years if there is any software program that has come
out yet that allows you to simply input a handful of your merchant websites preloaded
so that all you do is load the software and all those merchant websites you added
will be searched when you enter in the search keywords. I'd imagine now with A.I.
being everywhere now in apps there'd easily be a software program that can do this.
I'm sure we even had the technology to do this years ago but nobody would share
the software. ChatGPT doesn't help in market research analysis.

For example, if I loaded this software and I simply typed in: Huggies Diapers with Aloe Vera
24 sacks for diarrhea prone babies, and hit search, it would load up all the listings of
Huggies Diapers with Aloe Vera 24 sacks for diarrhea prone babies, in the results from each
of the preloaded merchant websites I added and show the price and stock all in just one search
so that I don't have to actually search it 6 times at 6 different merchant websites.

It'd save me a ton of time lol.

(note: this is not for amazon. I realize amazon itself has software tools that allows you to search
and compare sellers and prices but only WITHIN amazon itself).
 
You could easily pull this off with some simple scraping knowledge, BS4/URLlib/Selenium :)
