*Another* Free Report - Hot Toys for Sellers - Holidays 2011

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

Hi Online Sellers.
FREE Report, Grab this!

I get the question all the time: What toys can I resell for big profits this Holiday?

I've given away LOTS of free info to you (here, here and here).

Now I have even MORE free information, from renowned eBay Selling expert Jenni Hunt (Hint: scroll down that long sales page to the section that says 'Get All Three Free Reports Immediately', to get the FREE Guides).

Jenni's free report unveils HOT holiday toy trends and sure-fire 'winning' types of toys that can make resellers huge profits every year (for proof, check out my Amazon.com Nov-Dec 2010 sales here).

(Although Jenni and I do differ a bit on the 'trendy' toys - I tend to steer away and stick to classic brands....But Jenni has a better, proven pulse on what new fads/trends will be truly 'hot' this Holiday season.)

When you combine Jenni's free report with my blog posts (above), you get an ARSENAL of 'what to sell' ideas, absolutely free!

Please comment below, I want to know what you think. Here's the link to Jenni's free report again.

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.)


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!
