How to Sell Books on Amazon using Scout IQ | How to Scan Books for Profit on Amazon FBA

[@cleidenoakes3431]

I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm new to this booking seller world and I was not understanding the reject note. I'm thrilled that it has been showing a lot in this video and you explained what it means. Having a look in the charity today, I left on the shelf a book that showed a profit of £16 but was signalising as rejected, I'm going back tomorrow to buy it as the cost to buy was £1.95. Thanks a lot.

[@poker.george]

For a beginner, what BSR and eScore combination would you use as a cutoff to make sure they sell quickly enough to profit as soon as possible?

[@janetfayard672]

U rock man! I've loved books since I was a kid and I'm always scouring thift stores for used books for myself & never thought I cld have a side hustle doing it. Thanks so much for this video! Step by step info and instructions are important for us older folk who aren't as tech savvy!😆 Stay safe in this covid era !

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

I just bought the first book, $13 on eBay, reselling on amazon, awesome dude, let me know what other books you have. scout is awesome, the scanners I don't need. your videos rock. let me know any other books with $10 profit. $65 profit is awesome. My amazon sales are about $1400- $1600.

[@konstantsales2976]

Very informative and straight to the point as always, thanks reezy! I know that when I watch your videos, it won’t be a bunch of useless information just to get us to your page. Thank you for providing quality content and helping the reseller community thrive from your knowledge! Happy holidays!

[@JoseLopez-wx1xi]

Great video do you have a video on what you should price the books at based on what you pulled up on scoutiq?

[@myname2821]

Thank you reezy for these videos all this information you have in your videos, is the information all these gurus want to sell you for $2,000. And you give it to us for free thank you. I almost paid for several different guru videos, and they haven't been doing it nearly as long as you have.

[@georginamuns44]

Thanks for your video! First time i press the notifications button 😊 you have inspired me so much! On a binge mission to watch all of your videos! 💙many blessings

[@ReezyResells]

Yay!!

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

The scout iq is good enough. i notice if the reject book happens if its grey it usually indicates the book will sell. If it rejects and is red it depends when it is bought. If the book is approved, I am going for 40% or more, absolutely, I know something better on the books and stuff. Price doesn't mean really anything. It's the value.

[@nicoleleeanartist5999]

So i got my scanner this week, and yesterday went scanning for the first time. Wish i had watched this before i went, excellent information. I definitely needed this to help me understand how to read everything on this app! Quick question: i have the database downloaded... do u need to update it every so often so that the info is up to date?

[@ReezyResells]

You should update it daily

[@JCHansen]

Love this style of video best. Thanks Reezy.

Hi man. I use the standard amazon seller app. I'm in the UK, tho will be moving into mainland europe in a few years. I need an app that will help me scan offline, and holds data for the UK marketplace and will be looking to implement the European marketplaces in the next few years. Thanks for any replies

Reezy!!! Great video... could you do a quickie video on "how to post your first book merchant fulfilled" I just listed my first book... was a little confusing on shipping rates... but I think I got it figured out 😁

[@pedro_flowerss]

Hey Reezy, I see that the app shows the FBA profit but does that change with how much you pay for the book?

[@carlitodidthat]

Ty for guiding me to this video. Do u have a video on where and how to find these books?

[@kurtisshaw5616]

Hello Reezy. New to book selling and looking to purchase a scanner today out of the two you recommend, which would be the top scanner based on your use to get? Koamtacor the Opticon?

[@ReezyResells]

Koamtac is half the price is performs just as swell but less durable. Www.rebrand.ly/scanner

[@kurtisshaw5616]

Thanks! Ordered it last night. Dying for it to come in now and already went through all my books and found some winners that were just collecting dust. Thank you for all of the video help. Keep it up.

[@jaxhaxnsnax]

Reezy Resells it’s half the price? I’m confused by that. And you would say the option is more durable compared to the KoamTech?

[@drpepper3726]

Great video! A video in grading books would be awesome, I'm afraid of not grading a book correctly. Like I have this book where the inside is in perfect new condition but the cover is a little bit beat up and creased. Does that mean it can only be sold as acceptable condition?

[@ReezyResells]

I will make that video next

[@MatthewDandri]

Does ScoutIQ take into account all of the AMZ fees that will be taken out per book? Before calculating profit?

[@joesmith8528]

Awesome video reezy can’t wait to meet you at the book conference in la next month

Do you have a video on how to get barcodes and shipping labels for used books to be sent into an Amazon facility to sell?

[@donaldb7071]

I'm just getting ready to sell books on amazon, do I also need to purchase dymo label printer? Can I list my books on amazon using my opticon scranner?

[@bennybroll]

Reezy! When pricing your books, how important is the Buy Box for you? My partner and I are kinda butting heads when it comes to this. From everything else I've been seeing from all the other videos/articles on KZbin/Google, people say the BuyBox is king. Are we undercutting too much when always going for the BB? Is the BB actually king when it comes to making a sale? Any insight would be appreciated!

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

avoid buy box or you make judgment.

[@guruman5000]

I’m a PL seller with 2 products in my store but I’m getting into the RA space to make more $$$. Been watching your vids a lot more here lately and they’re helping a ton (I’ll be using your affiliate link too you hustler ;) anyway, I did have a quick question, after I put my books or whatever on Amazon and the quantity sells out, should I just remove the listing? And I’ve got a bargain outlet near me and they have several copies of the same books so I’m finding AMAZING deals daily.

[@chadtabary]

Super helpful!

[@nikoplagakis181]

Does the condition of the book play into this? With text books people like to write in them does that matter. How messed up can a book be? Or is it all just judgement calls you gotta make?

[@bethdixon3896]

Thank you so much for your inspiration 😉

[@firemarshal17]

How do you set up the app the first time? All I see is a screen that says “email, password, log in”. Nothing about setting up new.

[@abeavila1984]

Is this app just for books are any items ?

[@JustinAmosPolymath]

I’ve been looking into the keepa charts lately for books and other items. I used to buy things based only on the used buy box price and rank, but I figure it makes more sense to utilize keepa. I’ve noticed a lot of times keepas price may be like 3$ all the way across but the buy box prices are say 20$ does this imply that the book most likely would sell for $3 and you would therefore reject it? For a dollar book, I may buy but for more expensive items, it makes me question it . . . Hope my question makes sense.

[@ReezyResells]

Keepa cannot track the price an item sold for, only the price it was listed at in various ways when it sold, you don’t know which offer sold or which price. They all share the same rank

[@JustinAmosPolymath]

Reezy Resells thanks that’s helpful. I’ve been following you for about a year now and you’ve really helped me get going with Amazon.

[@ReezyResells]

Im so glad I could help you

[@650tonyd]

if i sent books to fba will i still have to create the listing and asking price or is that something that they will do?

[@ridealongwithdave9559]

Reezy I love all the info from this video. I have a question. How do you get the video image from your phone to pop up so your viewers can see it. That's awesome.

[@ReezyResells]

[@angelchavez9278]

Should I rescan books with circle stickers on them?

[@jKate12]

Do you ever enter in your buy cost?

[@WhispersOfPeaceASMR]

exactly that's what i was wondering, buy cost not only for books but for every product.

[@thecomeupkidz]

Thrift stores are covering the Barcode with their price tags, what are you doing in this case with scout IQ?

[@ReezyResells]

Scratch it off either w a nail or a scraper

[@GooglyMcDoubleface]

Look in the first two pages for the isbn number. It is in there.

[@Dobie20]

Can I sign up for scout iq $44 a month plan and use w my free seller central account or do I need to upgrade it?

[@Digitaldarlingg]

Can I list the books for used buy box prices if I am doing merchant fulfilled ?

[@ReezyResells]

Yes but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re actively getting the buy box which you can do as a merchant fulfilled seller

[@nikkopratshontiveros6579]

can i use this in canada

[@cherylmadison4030]

I need a handheld scanner

[@mitchmac9287]

I try scanning a book. Scout iq says my amazon acct isnt connected. I have an individual sellers acct. Do i need a developers acct???

[@asdffghize]

Wait do you send every single book (profit over 3$) you find to FBA?

[@mikayla_iceskater]

I assume you still need to put in your buy cost to get a more accurate profit estimate?

[@ReezyResells]

Yes or leave it blank and do it in your head (if the prices are varied where you’re at) - if the books are sold By weight, add the per lb cost into your per lb shipping estimate 🧠

[@180lifechange5]

I have noticed the Amazon fees are much higher on Accelerlist than what Scout iq says the fees are going to be.

[@ReezyResells]

Must be adding storage costs or something

[@Xquizit_Dj_X]

Once again thank you for the content. If money isn't a option for a scanner which would you buy but most importantly WHY?

[@ReezyResells]

Opticon will last you longer, its more sturdy, but ive learned to love the koamtact kdc200i - if you want one grab it here www.rebrand.ly/scanner

[@JoshDray]

Also recommend the KCD200 - I've had two opticons and they both crapped out on me

[@310socal]

Opticonis my choice since it has lasted me over 1 year no issues I bought the refurbished Kdc200i one for like $50 but it did not hold a charge well after 6 months but the price is a difference $250 vs $50

[@hannahliebowitz9353]

Where do you find your books. I’m new and have gotten about 100 books and none of them are acceptable

[@Lifeewitheman]

how does it upload to amazon though.

[@WiFiGuy]

It would be less counter intuitive Camel and Keepa would turn their charts upside down so sales would be an upspike. I guess I can just turn my phone upside down

[@ReezyResells]

You can flip the spikes in both apps but it doesn't make sense the way you say because sales make items have lower sales rank number (better), so the reason it's displayed like this is because the lower numbers are on the bottom. I know you think it's better but it's counter intuitive because then the bottom of the graph has larger numbers

[@sucessmar4681]

Does it only work for Amazon FBA?

[@celinedaher3103]

what does mean eScore? is it like jungle scout?

[@ReezyResells]

Escore is minimum number of days and item has sold at least one copy a day in past 6 months

[@ivangotyokes]

Not sure if it’s intentional or it but my Savers has been putting their label over the damn barcode! How do you work around that man??

[@henrylopez9815]

Which ia better in your opinion. Scoutify2 or ScoutIQ?

[@ReezyResells]

Scoutiq has database for books, Scoutify is live only. Scoutify is free if you subscribe to inventory lab , hard to compare the two, I use both

[@phannchandyable]

Hey Reezy, at video frame 7:50 you scan a book and analyzed on keepa and that chart was orange out indicating amazon been selling that product and it doesn't seem like it did not defer the decision to not to buy it, since we're selling used books, we should not worry about amazon having BB?

[@ChopOn414]

How are you calculating profit for all these if you arent putting in what you bought it for?

[@ReezyResells]

Likely taking it out in my head, or I set it in the app, usually places you go, the books are all $2 or $1 or whatever. And if they’re varied, just set it to $0 and do head math

[@ChopOn414]

@@ReezyResells ok perfect. So just profit, minus the cost of the section you’re in, just a little easy mental math. That’s what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. Thanks! You still using ScoutIQ for all products?

[@Envioushark]

I'm confused, the profit from the scout IQ is that the amount u gained total profit after FBA fee deductions? Because I scanned the same book in the amazon seller app and I got a book for a profit of 5$ for scout IQ and on the amazon seller app it says I lose profit because of the FBA fulfillment

[@ReezyResells]

You’re likely looking at the wrong target offer, I may have been doing math in my head as well. On top of that, prices fluctuate and this is an older video

[@mrmn8960]

Hey Reezy, Super new here, I'm actually here because of GaryVee. Regardless just a quick question, do you need a phone and a scanner? Or can i just use Scout IQ on my phone (not buy a separate scanner)? Thanks :D

[@ReezyResells]

You can just use your phone w the amazon seller app even, a scanner or a proper app will surely speed you up, but start slow, you need to prove to yourself you want it before you invest in tools. That’s just my opinion tho

I’ve had the same issues on several occasions. C. Roth is continuously updating database to resolve this.

We're crowdsourcing the database - currently at 23 million ISBNs and counting! Make sure you set up your MWS credentials on our web portal (app.scoutiq.co) to enable live lookups. Once you do this, anything not in our database will get logged and added back in at a later date. Holler if you have additional questions!

[@boomieboo]

You still recommend investing in all the long tail low profit items even with the new storage fees? They're getting really high now Reez. If I'm not mistaken, it's 50 cents per item after a year. Also, whenever you review software like ScoutIQ, I always hope you're working with the developers giving them feedback that they can incorporate to make their programs better. Who better to help improve these tools but a top seller like yourself.
