    Any updates on Greg and his business? I think it would make for a great video to see how he has changed up his business considering how thrift stores now have caught up with the reselling game.

    @jessykapower 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have been sending books to FBA for a year now and the only way I could sell a few was to lower the price to 3 dollars which after the fees, I was losing 3 dollars a book
    Also, they do not sell fast even at 3 dollars

    What was the name of the scanner he uses to check the value of the books he finds?

  • @RodEccles
    @RodEccles 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have no connection with Greg Murphey. So I can honestly say this man tells you more honest truth about the used book business and Amazon and selling online than anyone I have come across. I always learn something new every time I hear him. I have been selling since 2009 so I have experience. Learn from Greg. Also, if you dont want to talk to folks he suggest, let me know and I will do it for you and we can split. No joke. :)

  • @johndale9578
    @johndale9578 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    what do you think about magazines? I just started selling in ebay and picked up about 20 magazines for .15 a piece. so far I've sold 3 for around $7 in profit.

  • @runelady
    @runelady 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Margin of Safety is highly sought-after. I think the lowest I've ever seen that sell for on eBay is $1200. I'm hoping I can get my hands on a copy.

    People in my facebook group are finding books with bed bugs! About the mold (and might apply to bed bugs), can you freeze them to kill the mold?

    • @skayea
      @skayea 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, place them in a plastic zip bag and freeze for a week. Food grade diatomaceous earth is good for killing bed bugs and other pests.

    @SyphonCreativeTV 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Damn. I want to be moving that much merchandise someday but instead of just books I want to be moving semi loads of electronics, video games and brand new items as well as items that I sell on ebay. I have been reselling for 12 years and I do sell a lot but no where near as much as Greg is doing.

    @terryguffey7948 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoyed your video and downloaded your book "100 Amazing Items to Resell" and want to thank you for your generous offering. The difficulty-to-sell rating rating is unclear. Which number is the most difficult, 1 or 5?

  • @blessed1863
    @blessed1863 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Feedback, is there anyway to encourage positive feedback. I have been selling for nearly a year and have a 100% rating with only 2 feedbacks. I feedback important in comparing which merchant to purchase from?

    'Hey Raiken profit. I bought from Amazon, and my books where , for
    Around $800. They were for my online school. So, I tried getting my books , and Money. "Maybe I should have went futher with Investigation". To me Amazon alright, but I rather deal with someone else. "Especially when it comes to buying". If I wanted be a seller, or do anything else as a beginner. Should I give Amazon a chance ?. And EBay. I bought between $400, and $500 worth of clothes. From both companies my products never came, or refund.

    I’m curious on how his business panned out. There is no way that he can keep the same business model in todays market. The book business has really boomed since then and now it’s an over-saturated market.

    • @jasminflower3814
      @jasminflower3814 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joyce Anderson I'm just new at all this and I don't quite get why you don't like penny sellers.
      Are penny sellers people that sell cheap little paperback books on amazon with a starting price of 1 cent or something like that?
      And do you also sell paperbacks with a higher price or something and can't compete with their 1 cent starting price?
      I have only sold a couple of books on eBay before but I put a buy it now price plus postage costs. Ive never sold anything on Amazon.
      I don't quite get how someone could list a book for 1 cent and make a profit. If they have a high postage charge wouldn't the buyer dislike that and give you bad feed back or isnt that how it works on Amazon books?
      Thank you.
