In this video I teach my friend Paul how to sell books on Amazon in 2021 at our local Savers thrift store. If you want to learn how to make money on Amazon scanning books on Amazon FBA this video will show you a REAL LIFE example of how it's done. This video was recorded at our local Connecticut Thrifting Meet Up so we didn't find many profitable books due to the competition but all together it was still a great learning experience. Hopefully you enjoy!

Went to my first book sale yesterday! Your videos have given me more confidence in trying this out. Thank you for everything.
I am about to start doing this, appreciate the time you took to make this video and help someone. This will help me as well. Big shout out to Raiken Profit. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching, Jordan! Appreciate you. 😁
Excellent video for beginners. I was teaching my husband about books and your step by step is soooo needed. When you are use to doing this, you assume details and you covered most everything. The hard part is deciding on the beep which tells you to buy it vs. the keepa chart that says it hasn't sold much.... We came across a Bible that cost $14 and had sales at $240-450 with good rank and no primes for that year but newer years had $24 Prime but keepa charts said it had few sales. It was hard to know if you should keep it or put it back....You do awesome videos...
Thanks for watching! I am glad you are finding the information useful. It can definitely be hard trying to figure out which one to go by. If you only find info on specific years, I would try to go by the lowest one to be safe. Some books only have value if they are from a specific year, or edition. If keepa says that specific year has low sales, it probably does.
Your patience is magnificent,,I know that you knew how to scan quickly,,but to see you teach and explain is wonderful,,good job..
This is great stuff Steve, great hands on tutorial. Takes all the guess work out for those beginners.
Thanks for watching, Phillip! Appreciate you🙂
Great info! Now I can consider adding books to my list!!
Cool video. I like the format, location and mix of a newbie / avg reseller along with people you know who are out sourcing with you. You are really branching out, Steve! Gives me hope to do the same.
Thanks, Michelle, glad you are enjoying the content! Thanks for watching😊
This was sooooo helpful for me. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Katey!
Great video dude! It shows people the reality on how book sourcing can be at times.
Thanks for watching!
This real-life teaching is very helpful!
Glad you are enjoying it, Naomi!
Excellent tutorial Steve. I’m not into books at all, it I’m always willing to learn new avenue!
I hope you enjoy your book adventure!
Great video! Nothing but great value here my guy 🔥
Thanks for watching, James!
Really cool seeing you in the action of teaching someone. This is helpful because I have thought about training people to source for me, and this video is a great guide as an introduction to training a feature employee.
If you don't have time to source, training someone really can be a great idea. Just be prepared, they may take off after a while and open their own business 🤣
You're basically going to train them to be competitors...unless they're dumb enough to sign a non-compete agreement.
That is a great tool to help with your business. 🔥🔥🔥
Nice! 👍
Most definitely!
Wow, thanks for the tip. I’ll be buying a scanner soon.
Thanks for watching!
Very informative video - thank you for posting
Thanks for watching, Michael!
I last watched shortly before your Tony Robbins experience. This is awesome man!
So glad you enjoyed it, Dominick!
I'm learning so much from your videos. Thanks :)
I'm so glad to hear that, Chris! Thanks for watching!
Man, you cover everything! Good stuff!! Thanks
Thank you for sharing I really appreciated it. This video was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
More of this type please!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!🙂
I’m going to apply to work at savors and scan the books before they’re put on the shelves.
Dunno if you actually tried this but just to put it out there, this will get you fired immediately from every single thrift store out there.
I do this. I volunteer at a charity shop. I get to scan everything in the back room. I bring home at least thirty books every time. The best books never get anywhere near the shop.
David O'Brien screw you 😂
Ive often wondered that about used book stores. Why don't they scan there own books before they put them out?
@@richbrout16 some do, some don’t
Thanks for low key mentioning eflip at the end
We have so many thrift stores, goodwills, used toy stores, flea markets where im from i cant keep up. And i rarely see resellers but the other day one came in and scanned adult diapers while i found a jackpot in golf clubs. Its fun for sure
It's amazing the differences between sellers! Congrats on the club haul and thanks for watching.
Thanks for Sharing Steve!
Thanks for watching!
Just a heads up ladies and gentlemen this is a great tutorial. Way to go Steve. Steve, how can I find out about the next meet-up. I'd like to join in on the next one. Would love to meet up with some familiar faces.
Thanks for watching! You can find out about my Connecticut thrifting meetups by following me on Facebook, and the Greenroom meetups by joining The Green Room on Facebook as well!
Very helpful, thank you
Does the Bluetooth scanner have the title scan feature that amazon seller app has?
Super good video!!!! This is remote hands on learning, and shows exactly what it’s like, so helpful to beginners and you were also really honest about people not sticking with it. Would love to see more of this type of video.
Thanks for watching, Cindy. Appreciate you!
Cindy L Carrasco I tried to Google how to set up the nadamoo and couldn't find a video on how to set it up.
This would be great to use for rummage Sales and estate sales. I usually just buy kids books because that's what I know but this would totally help me get in to the book market. Thanks for the info. Great video. 👍
Thrifting Adventures I have a ton of children’s 📚 I am trying to figure out once I scan I then add the label?
@@erinmorris9930 what's the question? Haha I just woke up 😅
Thrifting Adventures do u sell on Amazon?
@@erinmorris9930 oh I don't really. I sell on eBay and at large yearly kids consignment sales.
@@erinmorris9930 kids books that do well on eBay for me is Goosebumps and The Berenstain Bears books.
I’ve taken your intro course and watched several of your other videos. You really know your stuff thank you for sharing your breath and depth of knowledge with us.
I have one question:
Your videos or any other videos on the topic of selling books on Amazon do not address this one question: What happens to books that do not sell? For example, if I send Amazon 10 books and after a long period of time, only 8 sell what happens to the other 2 books?
breadth
Always remember that books have amazing % of profit margins.. but they are long tail
That's true. A lot of them are long tail, but you can hit the quick ones every once in a while!
Thanks so much for your efforts. I have a question: what do you think about new books bought at wholesale price from manufacturers ?
They could be worth it for sure, especially if you are doing FBA
Love this! Thanks
So with this scanner and one of these two apps can I also list books and other items on an amazon store?
Sweet i need to learn more on books new to books have a ton sold one the other day for 75 non scannable book 50 cents i paid love books easy to ship and pack
Not bad, Vincent! Best of luck as you continue to grow your business😊
So quick question…. Do you use stock photos for used books, or take your own pictures? Thanks!
Love this!! Thank you..is this what you meant by online sourcing
Online sourcing is strictly done online, no physical sourcing like this necessary.
Super useful video!
Thanks Eric!
Would like to have you unplug the earbud and let me hear the beep you hear. :) Love your videos!
thanks for replying to my last comment...
so just got to finish watching ur video & I have another question. When you scan (either way) if you've found a valuable 1st edition, going for 100's of dollars or more, (most likely something that would sell to a niche market and not likely to show up on ebay or amazon) would it scan that way?... u'd just instantly see how valuable it is? I've been checking book values on AbeBooks, but it's so confusing! a book with the exact same isbn & the exact same everything else (1st edition or not, signed or not, dust jacket or not used or not etc etc) & the value is all over the board.
What was that app called to see recent sales keepa?
If there is no bar code accessible to scan will the Bluetooth scanner pick up ISBN’s also or do I have to switch apps for that?
The links for your Tools and Resources suggestions is broken. Updated version available?
@4:00
I usually uppercut whosever closest with my headphones. I guess I can try putting them in my ear and see what happens
😂😂😂
If reference to your shipping methods. You can order free poly mailers and boxes online from usps.
Thanks for the tip.
Hey Please Please Please, can you tell me which camera was used to shoot this video? I really liked it. Can you please share which model is this.
Sharing earbuds is where I draw the line.
🤣
Just earwax 🤪
Yeah I'm with you there for sure!
P
That was funny! Gives the guy the bud that was in his ear then takes another out of his pocket and says I'll just stick this one in my ear....lol. Reminds me of the brother in law in National Lampoons Vacation.
I want to start using Scout IQ ! Should i subscribe to the $44 a month or $14 a month ? Is there any difference ?
Thanks for all our videos.. I have set an account and I am ready to add som books in Seller Central- But I do not see Add a Product under Inventory, can you help. What I am doing wrong.
Thank you!
can onescan other things like cards, glass wear, clothes. well thing.
Good tutorial, but which specific buy/pass parameters did you enter into Scout IQ ???
It's going to be different for everyone depending on their own business.
What is the scanner you used?
I cannot figure out how to connect my Nadamoo scanner to the amazon seller app. Any thoughts?
Hi, I googled and came across this cool, sincere video and subscribed. Thank you for making it. Our case is a little different. We have a rather enormous library in our house. (Wall mounted, high ceiling, a sliding ladder, big room and in other places, not mentioning the garage in boxes). I would guess 3-4K books... Some are old 1950's anthropology, sociology, history... books. And a lot of cookbooks. We have to resize. I want to sell online if possible... amazon warehouse type perhaps? Any good suggestion will be truly appreciated. We are in L.A. basin. Thank you..
It's pretty much the same you're going to scan what you can and research what you can if you can't scan it. FBM may be the way to go with some of the higher dollar finds and a bunch can go to a warehouse FBA! If you need any help send an email raikenprofit@gmail.com
I shop for books in the bin so I pay per pound how do I set my trigger
Amazon is down the street from me can i drop them off instead of ship them
No. They'll probably route it to the farthest warehouse from you, lol.
Nice, James! You are lucky! Have you dropped them off before?
Interesting that isn't an option at any other fulfillment center.
They treat their warehouses like Area 51.
I live in Ontario Canada should I be shipping through UPS
Only with iPhone? I have a beautiful Galaxy 20+. Do you have an app for that?
Hello I got 3 books by beatrix potter first edition over 100 years old is it antique now
What was the name of the scanner. You didn't list it. Thanks 😊
Would you suggest fba or the fbm for used books? Does the buybox always go to fba sellers with books?
I prefer FBA. It's simple and quick! It won't always go to them. You can look up buy box info and find out way to ensure you get it!
Raiken, May i ask, what trigger settings do you use on scout iq?
If not Raiken, What trigger settings do most people use?
The default triggers that come along with SIQ
Great video!! What kind of phone do you have. Seems nice big screen
I use an iphone📱
What is the best scanner to buy???
Will you sell a used book that is in New condition on Amazon as new?
I would say no, unless it has now markings, no spine bends/breaks etc. I would do it as used in like new condition.
Guy looks so lost, he didn't even put the earbud in the right ear 🤣
Thanks Steve
Thanks for watching!
can you use a different app? instead of scout iq
where can I get one of those scanners?
I saw the Burt Reynold's My life books in the back ground lol.
Hi. I am a novice at Amazon and started selling books (mainly used) because I read a lot myself so this is my passion in a way.
I stock up on books at Charity shops and book stores, sometimes I get a lot of books for free from people who want to discard these books anyway. I always have a purchase receipt or invoice but e.g. when I buy 50-100 books at one time in a Charity Shop or book store, they usually issue a classic receipt or invoice where the final purchase price is. There are no individual books on the invoice. My question should I have professional invoices where each book (even if I buy 200 different books at once) is marked on this receipt? And should I upload invoices every time a customer buys a book despite selling it in the FBA system?
Thank you for your help in advance and I apologize if this question repeats. :)
You can certainly do an individual book break down if each book is a certain price, but if you are buying bulk you should be perfectly fine wigth a final receipt from the store. Just make sure you keep up with it for your records!
Raiken Profit thank you buddy for quick reply 🙏🙏😊
What does the ranking mean?
What happens to the books that end up not selling from Amazon. Do they ship them back to you and how long can they sit at Amazon warehouse thx.
You will eventually have to pay a disposal fee for them.
Resources + Supplies Mentioned in Video link doesn't work
sold a book for 45.77 while watching this vid. lol
That's awesome, Joe! What book was it?
@Joe Honea , what was it ?
Looks like well never know!!
30 for me lol 😆
Can anyone teach me?
Ideas for making ad on fb for wanted used books??
At RP...why can't I get this NADAMOO scanner connected to Scout IQ, and Amz Seller Central with my PHONE? The bluetooth connected but that's it. I'm stuck. HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPP
Can anyone answer this please 🙏, is this currently still the best hand scanner? Also is this all great for UK sellers.?
i do the same thing at Goodwill. Most books sell for .99 and 1.99. Highest Ive bought wass $3.99 and sold for $19.89
Nice!
Find a goodwill outfit if you can, books are 3 for $1
Do you resell on Amazon FBA?
@@brandonruff4374 Thanks a lot bruddie
I work in an apartment building where residents are constantly throwing out or giving away books.
Sounds like free inventory and all profit???
It can be, you just have to make sure the books are profitable so you don't have unmovable inventory sitting around taking up space.
Do you have 2 left AirPods or did he struggle to put it in the right ear lol. Awesome training video!
😂😂😂
How can you sell. Only 1 book. Is it possible?
I bought the little scanner for 29 refurbished from eBay. Do you know how to turn off the “beep”???
I figured it out! Downloaded the instructions and scan a code to turn it off. I like the scanner so far
Are you allowed to scan books at libraries?? Great video Steve!!
Absolutely, Marybeth! Library sales can be some of the best ones!😃
great video, really; thanks for taking the time to record and post, specially with the rookie.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Ben! I always like to know what my fans enjoy!
Man, I am an Econ teacher in Ghana. I have written Economics textbook but i have it in softcopy. Does it have to be in hardcopy before i scan and market it on amazon?? I need your help Man.
Thank you for the video Steve! I ordered my nanamoo but got confused on how to set it up so I haven't used it yet lol. I'm like momma profits with technology. I also signed up for Scout IQ but haven't used it yet either. This video is very helpful so thank you so much!
Thanks for watching, Joan! You can find a ton of videos to help you get both set up👍🏻
How to set up has. Even my barrier to, Steve, maybe you could do a
Set up for dummies of different apps.go slow and assume we know nothing because older people didn’t grow up with technology. Sometimes you zoom through when we need to go 2 miles per hour. ‘ you are a blessing with a good heart. Thank you😇
@@patriciawoltman7514 With me it needs to be 1 mph or less, lol.
Do you have to take the price labels off of the books before you ship them?
Some bigger sellers won’t take off any labels. I only remove a label that has a price or name of a thrift store on it. Otherwise, I leave it be.
Question for you i want to buy books from a wholesaler but they put dots on the bottom on the out side on the book can u still sell them used on Amazon
You can, just make sure you list it in the description!
@@Raikenprofit thank you would you still consider it used like new
Does that scanner work on eBay?
What's wrong with just using your phone?
I found some hardcover books at goodwill that are good rank and good price but if they're listed as new. Used they sell for way too cheap to pull a profit. When you scan are you looking at used price or new to make a decision to buy? What condition is your threshold for a purchase? Thanks in advance.
It depends on the book really. Some can go for a ton in like-new/used condition. If I can list a book new like if it has a shrink wrap still attached, I usually pick it up. I try to pick books that are like new, they may have a few problems, like highlighting in a textbook, or a few creased pages, but the better the condition the more likely you are to get a sale.
@@Raikenprofit Raiken Profit Thank you for the info! The books I picked up are in great condition like new. I'm just starting out so I'm thinking about listing seller fulfilled used-like new with a higher price than other used listings but lower than new. If it sells this way I can earn a profit on it. Have you ever listed a used book at a higher price point than other sellers same condition and still sold?
P.S. Recent subscriber. Appreciate your content and will continue to view your other videos. Only 2 books in but I think I'm hooked already.
thank u 👍
Thanks for watching!
you did not mention the black device you are using, and where can I get it please?
Its a namadoo scanner and can be found on Amazon!
I set up a business like this while I was in college.
Did you have good luck with it?
@Walkingdeadllama, we’re you successful or any changes you would have done in your opinion?
Wish we had that in UK 😩
If I find a good book with good profit but Amazon is also selling it should I pass or still try to sell the book?
You can still sell it, but there is a possibility it may sit longer.
