Isn't Scouting About Books? It was, and here's why: Books were easy! Books were easy to find (cheap) Easy to analyze (barcodes or ISBNs) Easy to store (small) Easy to list (Amazon) Easy to ship (Media Mail)

Enter FBAScout and FBA FBAScout lets you see prices for all items, not

just books and media FBA gives you virtually unlimited storage space No need to restrict yourself to a small portion of

the Amazon catalog

Every Store has Opportunities!

Compare Used Books To Retail

Think of it this way: you have your scout, you drive to a thrift store, poke around, scan some items, and find a book that will give you $20 profit.

You buy that book. ONE BOOK.

Now, in that same amount of time that it took you to go out and find one book, you could have found one product from any number of retail stores that would yield that same $20 profit.

But here’s the kicker: you put 16 units in your cart.

16 times more profit for the same amount of work. Live in a big city? Go to another store and buy the same item again. Sell out on Amazon? Go buy more and replenish.

The Ultimate Arbitrage ToolArbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices.

RETAIL ARBITRAGE

Don't Discriminate! Don't think of yourself as a 'book scouter'

anymore With FBAScout, you're an 'anything that is

profitable scouter'

Only one requirement: Profitability!
