Who is Bob Willey and Why is he Threatening Me?

NOTE: This blog has moved to: http://www.HonestOnlineSelling.com

Hi Online Sellers,

I got an interesting email late last night from someone named Bob Willey. Click here to read it. ( Or copy and paste this into your browser: http://screencast.com/t/IWNV93YQjjMd )

I have no idea what Bob is talking about here, but it looks like some sort of threatening ultimatum. Hmmm.

Any ideas? Comment below.

FBAPower.com vs. Listtee.com (Amazon Seller Listing Tools)

NOTE: This blog has moved to: http://www.HonestOnlineSelling.com

If you're selling more than 50 items per week on Amazon, you'll need a listing software program that will save you boatloads of time.

Two of the more affordable listing tools are FBAPower.com and Listtee.com.

I've been using FBAPower.com now for over a year and I just switched over to Listtee.com.

(FBAPower is not affiliated with our site FBAFinds.com, by the way)

Check out my video review/comparison  (click Video below; double-click for larger version.). (Time alert: this video is 20+ minutes long.)

FBAPower Review - Why I'm Switching to Listtee

Can Audiocassettes with a 'Lousy' Sales Rank Sell on Amazon?

NOTE: This blog has moved to: http://www.HonestOnlineSelling.com

Yep.

Remember my post about snobbish Amazon sellers turning away books and other media just because they had 'abysmal' bestseller rankings on Amazon?

I proved them wrong (again).

(By the way, by 'media' I mean books, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, audio tapes)

See, all those 'remnants' still have nuggets of gold in them, and they're not so hard to come by.

Example:  This bundle of a few audio cassettes (wow, remember those?) on the uber-boring topic of human development. I scanned it and picked it up at a library sale for $2. My scanner said the sales rank was 3.8 Million, with just a few competing sellers.

So I put it on Amazon about 2 weeks ago and it just sold (well, the sale is actually pending) for $28. That's a net ROI (return on investment) of over 1,000% and the bestseller rank, from just my sale jumped dramatically, to 199,000!

So the lesson here is, don't rely on bestseller rank alone; and don't ignore 'boring' media items when you're out scouting.

Do you want to uncover your own little nuggets of gold? Used media is probably the cheapest inventory you can find to sell on Amazon. Here's how:

1.) Download this free guide that shows exactly how to sell media on Amazon.com, as well as what scanner/scouting service to buy that will make it a lot easier for you.

2.) To find 'hidden' sources of used media, get this must-have S.W.A.T. guide and/or this locator of popular and relatively unknown library book sales

3.) Get out and start scouting!

What Toys Will Sell for Big Profits this Christmas?

NOTE: This blog has moved to: http://www.HonestOnlineSelling.com

How can you predict what toys will likely be in high demand this Xmas?

I say 'likely' because predicting with any accuracy can be difficult (remember the hype over the Singamajigs last Xmas? That fizzled out fast).

But if you've been selling on Amazon for a few years, like I have, you learn some 'tricks' along the way that make it a lot easier to figure out which toys may do better than others.

I've been 'buying low' and 'selling high' with the same products on Amazon, for a profit, for several years now (The 'fancy' term is 'retail arbitrage').

This 7-minute video shows you how (double click the video image below if you want to see a larger version)

Some free web tools I mention in the video are:

>  Camelcamelcamel.com (Amazon.com price tracker) and
> TheFind.com (product engine that searches almost all major online stores)
> A FREE guide that can help you get started selling on Amazon is here. (this e-book covers selling CDs, DVDs, and books on Amazon, but the method for selling toys is almost identical).

> FBAFinds.com is The web site that tells you 'exactly what to sell on Amazon, and exactly where to find it' year-round, not just Christmas. (FBAFinds.com membership is currently $27/month and $227/annually, but the price goes up October 1.
