🤔 Why Smart Sellers Track People, Not ASINs

The sourcing shift that makes product ideas come to you instead of chasing them.

January 05, 2026

Most OA sellers are doing sourcing the hard way.

They hunt. They scroll. They hope something pops.

The sellers who consistently win do something very different.

They’re not obsessed with ASINs.

They’re watching other sellers.

Here’s why that works so well.

Good products don’t come out of nowhere:

When a good ASIN hits the market, it usually doesn't come out of nowhere.

Somewhere, a seller:

  • tested something quietly

  • saw early traction

  • doubled down

  • and only later did everyone else notice

If you’re watching products, you’re late.

If you’re watching the sellers who find them, you’re early.

The simplest storefront tracking system (no tools required)

You don’t need to stalk hundreds of storefronts.

A small, high-quality list beats everything.

For each seller you track, just note:

  • their seller ID

  • roughly how established they are

  • the last time you checked them

  • any standout products

  • patterns in how they operate

That’s enough.

Once a week, check back and ask one question:

“What’s new?”

New ASINs.

Seasonal pivots.

Low-review sellers suddenly moving volume.

FBM sellers testing ideas before sending inventory in.

When they add something new, you’re seeing it early –  not after the buy box is packed.

Who’s worth watching?

Not every storefront deserves your time.

Pay closer attention to:

  • sellers with surprisingly low reviews but strong sales

  • sellers who show up repeatedly in your profitable flips

  • sellers testing seasonal items before peak demand

  • FBM sellers (often faster to spot trends)

After a few weeks, a pattern emerges.

The same storefronts keep producing opportunities.

Those go on your “priority” list.
