Joji I mean i have learned off you since october that was enough for me to understand book buying. But am shy i watch all your videos from youtube. Its not easy as people think charts is everything but i inly need 20 seconds i buy or pull the trigger
We can only make our best educated guess. Usually you cant take a look at the used/new offer count and see if any of those change by 1 in synchrony with the sales rank drop. I've got a more in depth explanation here: th-cam.com/video/RsEPFfKjXWg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qz6zDcoSIdCyzKr0
Great question. It would be very hard to tell unless you actually were a student who needed the book for school. Generally, professors allows their students to use older edition textbooks for their class. For example, while the newest edition might be the 5th edition, a professor may allow his/her students to use the 4th edition. In this instance, some students would still buy the 4th edition, even though it's not the newest edition. As far as when an older edition becomes obsolete, it's anyones guess. On the other hand, some textbooks have a pattern of coming out with a new edition every year. In this case, you could go back and look at the keepa graphs at previous editions and try to predict at what point an older edition might become obsolete. To summarize, we DONT REALLY KNOW. But we can make predictions, which may or may not come true. LOL
I've only used ScoutIq in the past because I'm physically sourcing books. As long the the escore and sales rank are good then it's a win right? What do you suggest?
Yes, as long as the Escore and profit amount meets your parameters, then you're all good to go. For example, let's say I only want to buy books that will make at least $5 profit. Well, you should set your scanners parameter to show green whenever the profit is $5 or more. If you only want to buy books that sell at least once per month on average, your Escore parameter should be set at 6. If you scan a book and the Escore is 3, then you wouldn't buy the book.
I've been watching more of your videos and it helps me alot in book sourcing.
Great to hear!
Flipmine is also my favorite tool in book sourcing. Easy to use and I found lots of good deals using this tool.
@@cristypenero6804 Absolutely!
Keepa should pay you for explaining how to use their product. Seriously!
LOL! That would be nice. Or even a KEEPA SHIRT would be awesome :)

Nice man! Yeah, reading keepa charts definitely gets easier and faster over time! How are you doing with sales!?
@@jojidavenport My selling Name is TopDogSeller you mentioned me in a video i was watching It was kind of weird but good lol
I have a question about the Keepa charts…how do you know that the green drops are a used book sale versus a new book sale?

How would you know if the book Edition will be obsolete for next school semester? Did you ever had that problem?

Thanks. That makes me feel better. Using Scoutiq then looking at Keepa gives me anxiety. I'll use keepa when sourcing online. Thank you so much!
