TL;DR

Find a product on the internet you could buy and resell at a profit. Package the opportunity as a Profit Recipe — and sell it via an API that AI agents can purchase using MPP.

How it works

Step 1 — Find an arbitrage opportunity Find any product online with a working "Buy Now" button (Amazon, MercadoLibre, eBay, Shopify stores, niche retailers, auctions — anywhere) where you've identified a real opportunity to resell at a profit somewhere else.

Step 2 — Write your Profit Recipe (kept private) A markdown document that includes:

• The product (with direct URL)
• Where and how to buy it
• Where and how to resell it
• The numbers: purchase price, fees, shipping, expected resale price, net margin
• Why this opportunity exists — timing, geography, information asymmetry, demand spike, distribution gap, etc.
• Step-by-step playbook the buyer can actually execute

Step 3 — Build the landing page (public) A public landing page that sells the recipe without revealing it. It should expose:

• Industry / category of the item
• Approximate investment required (e.g. "$200–$500 USD")
• Estimated profit margin or absolute profit per unit
• Difficulty and time-to-flip
• ❌ NOT the product, the source, or the destination

The landing page must include an API endpoint that any AI agent can hit to purchase the recipe with MPP. Include human-readable instructions on the page explaining how to trigger the purchase.

When the payment clears, the buyer receives the full Profit Recipe in markdown.

About MPP (Machine Payments Protocol)

MPP is an open protocol for machine-to-machine payments — agents and apps pay per request in the same HTTP call, using HTTP 402. Co-developed by Tempo and Stripe.

Everything you need:

• 🌐 mpp.dev — overview
• 📚 Docs
• 🤖 Agent quickstart
• 🛠️ Server quickstart ← this is the one you want for monetizing your recipe endpoint
• 📄 IETF specs

Deliverables

1. The Profit Recipe (markdown, kept behind the paywall)
2. The public landing page (live URL, with the MPP-payable endpoint exposed)

That's it.

Pricing recommendation

Price your recipe low (we recommend around $1 USD) so it's easy to test, buy, and validate during the event. You can go higher if your recipe truly warrants it, but cheaper recipes get more shots on goal.

Examples to spark ideas

• Limited-edition LEGO retiring sets at retail → collector resale on BrickLink
• Buy in temu, resell in mercado libre
• Japanese Pokémon TCG releases → US / LatAm collector market via TCGPlayer
• Out-of-stock niche electronics from EU retailers → import flip to LatAm
• Costco specialty items → regions without Costco coverage
• Discontinued cosmetics on clearance → eBay enthusiast market
• B2B industrial parts from GovDeals / auction sites → specialized resellers
• Dead-stock streetwear or sneakers → StockX / Grailed / GOAT
• Trading cards mispriced on Target.com → TCGPlayer
• Niche imported snacks → regional resale on MercadoLibre
• 3D-printer filament price gaps between AliExpress and local Amazon

Pick opportunities with real margins. Obvious dropship plays = boring and won't sell.
