    You’re so right those guys saying what are you waiting for, are ridiculous. You can tell a lot of them aren’t even selling anymore. And none of them give the real lowdown about how it really works, selling on Amazon. If you could take a moment to respond, I’d like to know how to get approved for DVD’s? Yeah I know websites I can go to but they require high buy in and minimum order limits of like a thousand dollars. Do you know of any work arounds so I can start adding this other media to my repertoire? Thanks for the awesome video.

    I started buying DVDs and cds because of your advice. I've also grown to clothes, food, and tools. There's enough of everything to get in good. People who complain about not being able to get ungated never click the request to ungate through a whole clearance rack or else they would be ungated on dozens of not hundreds of brands. My store opened on October 1 and I've now sold just under 2k in items and expect about 800 in profit from it... books, DVDs, and cds. Lots of underwear now... but they pull about a 20%roi

    • @YouTubePreneur
      @YouTubePreneur หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Said that wrong... not 20% roi. 20%of the sales price is my profit and 2/5 was my initial purchase price... so 35-50% roi but 20%of final sales price

    • @TheUsedBookGuy
      @TheUsedBookGuy  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are correct most people dont take the action of clicking through!! Keep crushing it and growing!

    • @TheUsedBookGuy
      @TheUsedBookGuy  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have an hour and 15 minute radius will probably expand that in 2025. Remember to route out places besides thrifts as well. My best sources are not thrifts they are libraries, record stores and pawn shops!

    've noticed on a lot of CD listings there are limited numbers of resellers on listings.. often no small 3P sellers and only megasellers with tens of thousands of feedback.. do you hold back sending in any type of media similar to textbooks? I would think CDs would be more flooded with sellers..

      Hold nothing back in the CD realm if you are ungated send it in! You would think CDs would be saturated but like you said its a few mega sellers and a bunch of us little guys & gals!

    My restrictions got lifted I didn't know what was going on . One day restricted the next day flood gates open 😁 I was ungated in DVDs and CDs thanks to a person named Mike. But I was still hitting a wall due to restriction, but now everything I either listed on eBay because of restrictions or have in my death pile is going into the Amazon machine.

      Exactly in theory the more FRESH inventory you can scan the more money you will make. Definitely need a hour+ radius to get serious results with this business.

    So how many SKU do we need to have to make the full time income in real life? I only have 950 sku. Only make approx $900 monthly. And how many sku do we need to send in every two weeks? Thanks.

    • @TheUsedBookGuy

      Depends on how much you need to make. I maintain about 4500 items and get paid roughly 5-6500 a month from Amazon.

    Do people really not know? I would guess most people (myself included) dragged their feet for a while getting started and just consume content for a while and would expect to stumble upon info like this. I know I didn't expect to get paid for a few months because of watching people like you. I missed the golden age but I did get a full cart gang at a small town goodwill during a camping trip once. Luckily we took two SUVs or I would've had to dump some of the books. It was a good feeling.
