Amazon Ebay Abritage & Making $$ for the Holiday Season

[Nate Dawg]

Used Books + Amazon FBA = goldmine... i tried this method after reading everything on this blog FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) Mastery | Selling books with Fullfillment by Amazon (FBA) . Basically what you would do is scan books at your local thrift stores (Goodwill and Goodwill Outlet are the best ones for low cost books with high margins) and see which books will sell for profit (you use amazon seller app to scan the books and see what the books sell for on Amazon).

A lot of these books wont cost you more than a dollar (i paid about .30 cents a book) and a lot of these books will sell for 15+ (especially textbooks). Tried it out in late August and got about 250 profitable books from goodwill outlet (paid like $65 total) in the course of a couple days (only spent 1-2 hours there a day). Sent them in to Amazon and sold about 90 my first month for about $1,400 total ($800 profit after amazon fees, book cost and shipping costs). To date I made over $1,000 profit for like 8 hours of work max (scanning the books and packing them to ship out to amazon)..

I dont do it much anymore because im focused on other categories and christmas sourcing so i figured id drop that for yall to eat. Gonna go crazy with it myself once the new year hits.

cliffnotes:
1) find profitable books from a thrift store
2) ship said books to amazon fba
3) sit back and enjoy profits

Those crumbs won't go to waste, brotha.

If anyone has any questions about reselling please post them. I have been reselling full time for a year but I am no expert. I am still learning. However I am more than willing to answer and I am sure others will chime in.

I use to eat well sourcing the replica Galaxy's and Notes through Ailexpress

How much does it cost to shift things to amazon fba

How much hours a week do you put into it
how well

Depends on what you selling and what you consider time spent. Today I posted shyt from the tablet while I was on the couch watching the games. I don't consider that time spent working really. Most of my time is spent packing up and dropping packages and boxes really. Probably a hour on a Monday morning and maybe 10-30 minutes a day during the week doing that. Posting time varies on what I got


And I second that how well shyt on them phones. I've been looking at those jawns on Ali and I've been wondering how they go. I actually think I bought a bootleg Galaxy for myself off eBay about 2 years ago and didn't even realize it till bout 3 months after I had it

depends on the weight of the boxes youre sending into amazon. its real cheap for the most part though... where amazon fukks you is their fees after something sells. it depends how much they will be but its on average about 15-35% of the sale..

What ap are you using to scan?

 

[Nate Dawg]

Y'all think I'm playing. I already downloaded the app, and scanning books.

Seriously? You must not be into phones that much then cause I woulda spot that in a sec.
But I wouldn't take the risk of reselling those on ebay, to high of a risk to get banned

 

[MaxBundles]

By the way, I been selling and eatin good off eBay for a min. Don't mind answering questions if anyone needs help. Certain ones I rather answer thru pm tho.
Don't know about amazon but tryna get into it at the moment.

That amazon seller app. Does it matter what kinad phone you have to use it? Or do you need a newer phone. Like my phone can download it but how does it work? Do you type in the bar code manually or do you actually have to scan in

theres an option in the app to use your phones camera to scan the barcode on the book and it will pull up everything about the book and its current price on amazon. it works for pretty much every android and iphone made in the past 4-5 years im sure...

theres an option somewhere in the app that you have to check off so amazon can show you the price of the book used as well.. the default only shows the price of new books

Not really. I like to have the newer models but when I get them I don't really play with it like that. The phone worked but because I had a few Galaxy phones before that I could tell the build quality was off.

And there is a high risk to get banned but I'm always have a few accounts just for grey area shyt like that. My main accounts I wouldnt dare post it on there. And I'm really wondering if it is worth it to max out on the phoned on an account until it burns out.

You can try but I hope you don't have one paypal linked between those different ebay accounts cause if one gets banned they may ban them all. Happened to me in my early days before I knew better
