Selling On Amazon And Neatoscan

I was surprised to find out that we could generate some good money from selling our used cds and books on Amazon. These are items that had been collecting dust around the house and just filling up valuable space. We had initially listed approximately two hundred items. Out of these two hundred items, we have sold about eighty of them. On average day, we sell around three items. At first, it was a bit of a task to package up the items and visit the post office to ship the items. We now have a system down that makes it pretty easy.

We were thinking of expanding the concept and purchasing some used books to sell. We found a few devices that help with the "scouting" process. One that looks very promising is Neatoscan. It allows you to use a PDA in conjunction with scanner to find sales rank data at Amazon and id if it would be a profitable book to purchase and resell.

Has anyone had experience with this device? Or with other scouting tools? Would like to hear from you.

Just wondering if you have had a good experience with Neat O Scan or If you ended up using another service. If so, which? Also, are you using the socket 7p bluetooth scanner or have you found cheaper alternatives? There seems to be so much offered but it's hard to figure out which is best. Also, I wondered about softwares for catagorizing and pricing. Have you had positive experience with any particular software service. We have a Mac so we need something that would run smoothly on our computer.

If you use Neatoscan for your FBA shipments, its great, but labels can be very expensive buying by the case and paying huge shipping. They have on amazon exact same labels with free 2 day FBA shipping

Much better option. Neatoscan is by the way awesome for creatign FBA shipments. it lists, prints label, and adds to a shipment immediately.
