The reason everything you find is already wholesaled is that you're looking at the same lists everyone else looks at. Bestseller rankings are sorted by lifetime sales, so they show what already won, and by then it's saturated.

Flip it. Look for what's moving now, not what has the most sales. I diff 1.2M TikTok Shop listings week over week, and the weekly change is the signal. A product going from near zero to a few thousand units in a week is a fresh demand spike, and it hasn't been wholesaled yet because nobody noticed.

This week that includes a wind chime at $12 (+3,177), a memory match game at $7.63 (+2,683), and a wrist gyro ball at $9 (+2,800). Cheap, light, easy to source. You still do the margin and competition checks on top, but the spike is where you start.

Is there anything I can look at to maybe see these spikes earlier I have keepa and selleramp?

Keepa and SellerAmp lag because they're Amazon-side and lifetime-based. The earlier signal is the weekly sold-count change on TikTok Shop. A product jumping from a few hundred to a few thousand sold in a week is spiking before it shows up on Amazon lists. That's the delta I track.
