You might have found an opportunity or a duplicate.
Sometimes a search finds an item that is out of stock on Amazon. That's great news for you, isn't it? Order the product and get yourself exclusively into Amazon's Buy Box?
Maybe not...
It can also be that you've come across a duplicate of the product in Amazon's catalog, presenting itself as an out-of-stock ASIN, while a fully stocked identical product exists under another ASIN.
It's important to see if you've uncovered a gem or a dud. Doing a title search on the Amazon search page is one easy way. Perhaps you'll find the same product under a slightly different name.
Or you may discover that it is in fact an ASIN with a good sales history, recently out of stock, and just waiting for you to send in a shipment.
We suggest this configuration in the Other Filters panel for most users who want to explore these potential opportunities:
- Toggle ON the first switch to include Amazon Out of Stock items.
- Toggle OFF the second switch. This is for specialized searches.
