what is up everybody welcome to another
breezy resells knowledge bomb drop for
retail arbitrage selling online making
money all that sort of stuff quitting
your nine-to-five you're in the right
place so if you're new to the channel
welcome press the subscribe button down
there my name is resi and for the past
almost fourteen years now I've sold
full-time on Amazon and eBay mostly
Amazon and mostly used books in that
time I have grossed over five million
dollars of sales not profit gross but I
want you to think about that for a
minute for a high school dropout that
didn't go to college and didn't have a
lot of options I've averaged three
hundred and eighty five thousand dollars
of gross sales a year for the last 13
years almost fourteen now I'm far from
being rich but I have a rich lifestyle I
live in coastal California I own my own
time my wife doesn't have to work I'm
able to do what I want to do to pursue
social media to do YouTube there's no
way I would be able to do YouTube and
help you guys out if I didn't have this
freedom and I'm so thankful for that
freedom because it allows me to do this
and this is what really fulfills me and
makes me feel like I'm making a
difference in the world which totally
changed my life so in this video I'm
gonna talk about what apps I use when
I'm scanning stuff in stores to buy it
to make money for profit it was by far
the most popular question that I've been
getting on my youtube channel recently I
recently I gained over 10,000 followers
in the last couple weeks and it was all
because of one video and in this one
video repeatedly again and again like 50
times a day people would ask me what app
are you using what app are you using so
I'm gonna tell you guys so for general
retail arbitrage scouting scouting which
means going to stores and scanning stuff
I use an app called Scout to Phi SCO UTI
f.y Hollen let me set a timer I have a
tendency to ramble on so I'm gonna set a
10-minute timer on this
so hopefully I can get my message across
in ten minutes or less so scatter Phi
SCO UTI FY now this app is free in
conjunct in conjunction it is free as
long as you have a subscription to
inventory lab which costs I believe
forty or fifty dollars a month what is
up Alexander what is up Chris inventory
lab is the standard industry standard
software that everyone uses for listing
their products to Amazon because the
Amazon interface for listing it's really
bougie and it takes forever it's super
slow I know people that use it and in
fact I know people that list stuff on
their phone but it just is not
convenient especially when you are
listing a lot of stuff like we do so
almost everyone uses inventory lab and
free with inventory lab is scout off' ID
now scout off' i is not good for books
because it does not have a downloadable
database but it's good for almost
everything else because it just has all
the features you would need it's live
only but it has a great buy list which
means when you're buying stuff you say
yeah I bought that I bought this many of
them I paid that much you add it to the
buy list and you can email it to
yourself and import it into inventory
lab which makes creating a shipment much
faster so imagine you have a carload of
goods but you already have the list and
you just upload it into inventory lab
and now you don't have to go through
scanning everything into inventory lab
it's already in there that saves so much
time now for books I use an app called
Scout IQ and there's a link down there
to sign up for a free trial for a Scout
IQ I highly recommend it and a lot of
the scanning apps are similar there's
only two scanning apps that have
database for books in the United States
one is scouted queue like I mentioned
and the other is FBA scan both very
similar
I prefer scout IQ for books and then I
use Scout of five for everything else
which I also have because it's free with
inventory lab now if you don't use
inventory lab you might want to use
another software called FBA scan which
is it's the original scanning app that's
been around for like ten years or so
it's probably the first
and that that also has database but it
does more than books it does everything
so you can get database on everything
Scout IQ has a database for books and
the ability to scan everything else in
live mode but I prefer to use Scout aq
for books and Scout a fie since I
already have that for everything else
now the reason you need database with
ebooks is because ebooks 95 to 99% of
every book you scan is gonna be
worthless right your job as a bookseller
is not necessarily to find the books the
good books it's to get through the bad
ones as fast as possible I see
Christopher grant in the chat talking
about back in the old PDA days yeah back
in the old PDA days when we before
smartphone apps existed for scouting we
used pocket pcs which was super crazy so
yeah there's that and there's other
there's so many other not like so many
but so you could use the Amazon seller
app which is completely free you just
have to use the camera to scan the
barcode and you have limited data that
you can look at you don't get a sales
rank chart one of the things that every
Pro scanning app has is a one-click
access to see the sales rank chart
through history either camel camel camel
or Kiba calm Kepa calm and if you are in
the business of buying stuff to sell for
profit on Amazon you absolutely need to
understand how to read sales rank charts
I prefer keepa over camel sometimes
keeper doesn't have the data and camel
does so you use that but for the most
part Kiba is going to be a huge asset
for everyone and also there's one click
button on almost all apps to see the
active FBA offers like currently listed
on Amazon because the data base is you
know usually pulled from Amazon one or
two times a day depending on what
software you're using Andrews hunt says
he still sees people use pocket pcs at
the goodwill outlet those people are
dinosaur cavemen status they don't
understand the future so real quick guys
if you're watching this and you
appreciate it please hit the like button
there's only nine likes and there's 76
people watching so a few of you guys
could just tap the thumbs up button real
quick
would appreciate it so you got Amazon
seller app which is free you got Scout a
Phi which is live only and I use that
for retail arbitrage you have Scout IQ
which is mostly for books but also has
it has book database and it also does
live everything else then you have FBA
scan which has live and database for
everything and that's the originator
they're kind of getting stale and
they're actually copying Scout IQ now
then you have something called profit
bandit which is an FBA scan clone but I
believe it's only ten dollars a month
and it only has live lookup and then
there's some other ones there's Scout
pal
I believe Neto scan and that one's great
because it works in the UK and so you'll
have to check that out if you're in the
UK but for the most part that's that's
pretty much it guys I'll use the I
always use the Amazon seller app in
conjunction with the other apps because
the Amazon seller app is one of the only
apps that can tell you for sure whether
or not you're able to sell an item so
some stuff is restricted on Amazon
unfortunately and so you scan it with
the Amazon seller app if you're unsure
and it will say yes you can sell it or
no you cannot sell it and sometimes I
forget to do that so I buy stuff that
I'm unable to sell on Amazon and in
which case I would return it or trying
to sell it on eBay it just happens it
happens sometimes it can't be perfect so
scout IQ scout off' i FB a scan profit
bandit scout pal I think is still a
thing nito scan if you live in another
country what else what else looking
stuff on ebay looking stuff up on ebay I
use an app called completely it's a four
dollar app but it's way worth it it
gives you more historical data than the
ebay seller app does so that's great you
kind of get a little Terapeak action
through there if you guys don't know
what Terapeak is it's a website that has
a large volume of historical data on
eBay so some stuff that's really rare
that you might find you would look it up
on eBay and see no listing so you might
think you know no data at all so you
might think it
worthless but in reality is just so rare
that it only sells once every six months
or once a year and I believe eBay seller
app and eBay in general only shows the
last three months of data correct me if
I'm wrong but completely has more as
Terapeak does now there isn't completely
as an iOS only app but there is a nother
app that's very similar and actually
free that I believe is iOS and Android
compatible if you know what it is please
put it in the comments down below and
I'll take a couple questions I'm
approaching my 10 minute 10 minute mark
here got three minutes left to answer a
few questions Sasha said the Amazon
seller app has cool been using it for a
few weeks yes I definitely recommend
everybody who's new to the flip game
understand how to use the Amazon seller
app and actually go through the stuff
that's in your own house shop your house
using the Amazon seller app scanning
anything that has a bar code and even
manually looking stuff up and try to
find stuff that you don't want or you
don't need any longer that you can sell
on Amazon to to get going maybe you have
some books maybe you have some gifts
you've received that are unopened and
sealed everybody has you know a hundred
200 500 if not a couple thousand dollars
worth of stuff that they don't need that
they're no longer using either in their
house boxed up in their garage or in
their storage unit and that's kind of
why I started the 5 box challenge is to
show people that everybody has some junk
that's worth money you know one man's
trash is another man's treasure so use
that to bankroll your reselling business
let's see what's up baby boy should you
be an Amazon pro seller even before you
make your first dime no Kenny so you do
not want to be an Amazon Pro seller
unless you're selling 40 items a month
or more the reason is is because it
costs $40 to be an Amazon Pro merchant
and one of the benefits you receive from
being a pro merchant is that they remove
the $1.00 the one dollar charge per item
sold as a non pro merchant so if you're
a pro merchant paying $40 a month and
you sell 40 items a month you break even
the same amount as if you would have
been charged if you weren't a pro more
but as soon as you sell the forty-first
item you actually save a dollar and I
made a video a few videos back on my
channel talking about how I didn't know
this in my first year of selling and I
sold over ten thousand items my first
year as an Amazon seller without being a
pro merchant so I essentially lost ten
thousand dollars so you don't have to do
it but as soon as your volume of sales
go up you should do it the other thing
is that as a pro merchant you're able to
apply for restricted categories that are
gated to get approval which is
definitely wanted and needed if you want
to grow your business let's get a couple
more question what do you use for
shipping I choose to use UPS even though
FedEx is a little bit cheaper because I
get free pickups using smart pickups at
my house through UPS and FedEx gives me
trouble about the boxes sometimes saying
that the boxes we're using from Home
Depot aren't thick enough for the weight
that we're putting in em or whatever but
UPS has never given me any trouble David
says are you coming to Seattle at the
end of the month yes I am I'm actually
working on booking my ticket right now
I'm so stoked for them as soon as I
booked my ticket hold on timer that's
ten minutes so I'll wrap it up here as
soon as I booked my ticket I'll let you
guys know and I'll plan a meet-up while
I'm in Seattle I'm hopefully gonna be
able to bring my business partner as
well so he can get some skin in the
merch game because I've been running our
merch account by myself so far let's see
is there a flip market for new items
bought an employee store 50% off ticket
I I don't understand what that means but
I believe definitely good for new items
wait can you list more than 40 a month
and not be a pro seller yes you
definitely can Christine if you're just
starting is it better to do FBA or ship
from home great question I advise you to
ship from home because you're bound to
make some mistakes and if you make
mistakes and you've already sent those
items off to FBA it's gonna be a lot
more of a headache to have to pay to get
them sent back and wait for them or or
to get them destroyed or whatever if
your listing at your own house it's not
as big of a headache but as soon as
you're comfortable and you understand
how the system works I advise you to
switch to using FBA because it's the
beauty of Amazon FBA makes your business
so
scalable when you don't have to focus on
storage or packing and shipping
individual orders you're essentially
crunching all of your packing and
shipping time into one day which imagine
you have a hundred items to ship and and
they sold you know five a day for 20
days that's gonna take you so so long to
pick pack and pull all of those orders
versus one afternoon you can pack and
ship all of that stuff to FBA let's so
what FBA scan triggers do you use
unfortunately I don't share those
publicly they are available to those of
you that are in my patreon mastermind I
just got in the game trying to feed the
beast got to feed the beast baby what's
up Johnny do you know why our account
keeps getting suspended even though we
just signed up I have no idea it must be
some of your account information
question what is your favorite Gary Vee
book by far crush it crush it is the
killer that's the best book ever changed
my life it's why I actually do this
right here what software you recommend
if you want to source books and are a I
mean scouting and listing so we use
inventory lab to list retail arbitrage
stuff and then for books because we have
such a large volume and we need to list
them much faster we use Excel or list
and scanlister now why do I use both
because we purchased lifetime membership
to scanlister so we have licenses for
scanlister and we use those and then we
needed some more licenses for new
workstations so we use Excel or list as
well I like Excel or less because it's
web-based and sometimes with my workers
there'll be an update to scanlister that
will break essentially break scanlister
at least for us like our conditions will
get erased or our different settings
will get erased and then my workers will
contact me and be like what happened I
updated scanlister and now I can't
upload well with Excel or lists we never
have that issue because it just works
right so if I have an issue with an
employee and they're like scanlister is
not working for whatever reason I just
say go use Excel or list and that's how
we get by
yeah that's pretty much it guys thank
you for tuning in and I hope this
answers your guys's question about what
apps that I use to scan stuff and to
make money on a daily basis if you guys
