today I want to talk about I want to
talk about people who are afraid of
selling used items on Amazon I am just
you know surprised at the number of
people who don't sell used items on
Amazon you know they they're stuck in
trying to just sell news i new items and
and they you know they have a lot of
false information out about their about
selling used items some people don't
even think you can sell used items on
Amazon but you can yeah there's a few
categories we're selling used items this
is not allowed you know that Amazon
doesn't want you to sell used baby items
they don't want you to sell used
clothing or use shoes they don't want
you to sell used grocery items I mean
that's just gross thinking about that
anyway used grocery items but you know
but selling used items and many
categories on Amazon can be extremely
profitable just this year I've sold a
Lego set for you know $200 I've sold a
book for 80 bucks I sold a DVD for 20
bucks I sold a video game for 50 bucks I
sold a lot of different items and they
all had the same thing in common they
were used and so I want to talk to you
just a little bit about some some myths
that people believe about selling used
items on Amazon some people think that
like I said that Amazon won't even let
you sell used items but they will you
know the number one item that's probably
sold used on Amazon is books you can
sell books and like new very good good
acceptable condition and and they will
bring you back if you find them at the
right price that will bring back some
good money so so look into that a lot of
people think that used books are just
not worth your time I sell a lot of used
toys and when I say used when you're
selling it on Amazon you need to make
sure that it's listed is collectible
Amazon does not allow you to list it as
used it needs to be collectible so when
you're listing used toys on items be
sure you're doing as collectible but
I've sold used board games used Legos
for huge amounts of profits
and you know I learned so much with
someone used board games that I hope
wrote a whole book on it the resellers
guide to board games how to turn play
money into real money if you want to
find out about that book you can go to
full time FBA comm forward slash board
games but there's so many items out
there that are worth if the ROI is right
if the sales rank is right it's worth
spending the time to look into used
board games spending the time to make
sure that all the pieces are there maybe
even spending a few dollars on eBay to
buy replacement pieces for pieces that
might be missing it's worth your time
just like not every single new item is
gonna be worth your time you know not
every used item is gonna be worth your
time but the right new items and the
right used items they'll work out for
you really well and so think about it
when you're outsourcing don't don't be
scared of sourcing used items as long as
they are complete and in working
condition used items in most categories
on Amazon are completely it's it's good
and very profitable to sell you know
yeah it looks like somebody says that
they're sitting in a Harry Potter clue
today for 65 bucks that's awesome I love
that another tip for you when you're out
there doing retail arbitrage if you find
an item that is you know supposed to be
new at a Walmart or Target or any other
type of store and the box is kind of
dinged up a little bit maybe there's a
small tear maybe you're sourcing books
and there's a little tear in it or
whatever it's supposed to be new but you
find out that you oh man you know I've
scanned this item and it's just you know
it's not really good profit I mean it's
not it would be really great if I could
sell this as new because I could
probably make like $25 on this if I sold
it as new
don't don't forget to just glance over
to the they used or collectible listings
to see what it's going for as used or
collectible because you might not make
$25 but you could make 10 or $15 so take
that just extra second to glanced over
if you're you find a retail item that
might be the show there's a little bit
too much shelf where maybe you can sell
it as used like new
and still makes some good money um a lot
of people are also these days worried
about being suspended on Amazon and
people think you know if I just sell new
items you know I won't be in danger of
being suspended but cynthia stein author
of the books suspension prevention says
that in with the clients that she's
helped reget their account reinstated
none of them were suspended because of
used items the items that they got
suspended on were new items that were
you know that the customer thought was
were used so they were used items that
someone was trying to sell as new so
again when you're listing your items and
you're listing
used items be sure that you're choosing
that it's actually used if you want to
find more about information about
Cynthia Stein's book you can go to full
time FBI com forward slash prevention
and it'll take you right to the Amazon
page where you can check out her book I
highly recommend it I'm in the middle of
reading it right now and it's just
there's so much to learn about
protecting your account and that's a
whole other periscope that we can talk
about someday I've got so many more
myths that I can talk about overcoming
you know just things that people believe
about selling used items on Amazon that
just aren't true if you're not selling
used items you're missing out on tons of
profit potential you're leaving money on
the table and you really need to just to
consider adding used items to your
inventory over on the blog full-time FBA
com our most recent blog post was all
about overcoming more of your fears when
it comes to selling used items so check
out that blog post I have more items I
have more myths that I just talked about
I replace those myths with the truth
that's out there and there's even some
homework for you I've got a job for you
to do if you are not so unused items on
Amazon right now walk around your house
and look at certain items that you may
have maybe old board games maybe old
books maybe you've got some some toys
that your kids never opened maybe you've
got some stuff in your kitchen that's
still in the original box and you've
never used it but it's you know the
has been open so you can't sell it as
new check it out scan it see those
things see if there might be some used
items in your house that you can make
some money on on Amazon right now
and if the profits not good for that go
check on eBay and see if it's going for
more on eBay
so so again don't be afraid of selling
used items there's so much profit
potential out there for that that's all
