TOILET PAPER ARBITRAGE... A New Form of Investing for 2020+
Hey folks,
I'm officially taking my money out of the short term rental/Airbnb markets and 'dumping' it all into the toilet paper industry.
With the massive shortages that are likely to take place in the coming months I see a great opportunity to capitalize on the increased demand. With the increases in Price Per Wipe (PPW) already taking place there's ample opportunity for both flipping product as well as renting out TP for daily, weekly and monthly rates.
Here's a quick guide for getting started in toilet paper arbitrage:
Step 1: Find a Distributor or Manufacturer
Step 2: Acquire Toilet Paper (in bulk)
Step 3: Wait for Prices to Skyrocket
Step 4: Sell Toilet Paper
Step 5: Repeat...
Important Metrics:
- Price Per Roll (PPR): (Total dollar amount of rolls sold ➗ Total number of rolls sold)
- Price Per Wipe (PPW): (Average Price Per Roll ➗ Total number of wipes in one roll)
- Wipe Rate (WR): (Total number of rolls ➗ Total number of days)
- Toilet Paper Coverage Ratio (TPCR): (Wipe Rate ➗ Total number of rolls ➗ Total number of days)
Right now I'm working on getting these uploaded into the BP calculator for Pro members... so stand by.
Good luck!

Very creative thinking. You may want to embed the following calculator into your metrics to help the consumer decide how many rolls to purchase:
