Arbitraging Oprah!

Posted on November 06, 2007 by chiachin

Because YouTube and VideoSlush update at different times, good old fashioned arbitrage is possible!

Here’s an example:

Notice in the picture above, Tyson’s Trip to the Oprah Show has 95,182 Views. The blue line in the chart also shows that Views have not updated for a bit as well.

At this point, you may be tempted to sell the video, if you are holding the video. Or if you don’t own the video, is this a potentially good buy?

Click on the embedded video! Let’s see what’s going on with Tyson’s Cat on YouTube.

Well, well, well… Looks like Tyson’s got 191,000 Views on YouTube! This is almost 100,000 Views more than VideoSlush is showing! Looks like YouTube updated before VideoSlush did.

It’s time to take advantage of this and buy, buy, buy in VideoSlush!

As you can see, when VideoSlush updated the Views, the Price shot up along with it.

Now you’ve arbitraged Oprah’s video on VideoSlush! Well done, SlushMaster.
