Amazon Begs Sellers, Part Three: 1,913 Baby Items Wanted

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

Some/all Amazon FBA Sellers (including myself) got the below email from Amazon this week. This is a gold mine of information - Amazon is essentially giving you the exact information about 1,913 HOT HOT HOT Baby Items that they are running low on. Read more below. 


Why is this information a 'gold mine'?  Because these items have extremely good sales ranks AND they are in short supply in Amazon, you (as an Amazon seller) can essentially 'name your price' (within reason) if you are able to source any of these. (Good-bestseller-ranked items in short supply mean that customer Demand is far outpacing Supply. Pure 'economics' lets you raise the price of an item in short supply, that is in high demand. That's just the nature of efficient markets). 

How can you find some of these 1,913+ Baby Items? Some are impossible to find, of course, but you can do a search on TheFind.com (which searches multiple online stores).

Amazon's email to sellers is below:


Dear FBA Seller,

Thank you for selling on Amazon.com with our Fulfillment by Amazon service (FBA).
Right now, there are Baby products that have high customer demand but that aren't being fulfilled by Amazon (but may be in the future). If you have any of these products or can get them, you might want to list them on Amazon.com and fulfill them using FBA.  Note that, at this time, we are looking for products in new condition only.   

We know that customers love buying items with FBA benefits, such as FREE Super Saver Shipping, Amazon Prime, and Guaranteed Accelerated Delivery, so this is a great time to consider testing a small quantity of these items in FBA.

Thank you again for selling on Amazon.com.

Sincerely,
Amazon Selling Coach
