Section five, pricing. This is a good time to talk about pricing. As this will inform your buying decisions. Only you can decide what level of profit you are comfortable with. Some FBA sellers may sell bulk loads of books per day and can accept slightly lower profits per book because they're saving on bulk shipping rates by shipping many books to Amazon at once, and are happy to make $2 and 50 cents per book if they can process hundreds per week. It's a low margin.
Fast moving strategy seems like too much work. You can do what many resellers do, which is to hold out for books that have higher resale value, but are a little bit harder to come by. It is absolutely imperative that you always factor in your cost of doing business. with figuring out your pricing. Always know what the cumulative cost of shipping and packaging are, in addition to your buy cost. As a new seller always strive to get a 50% return on investment at an absolute minimum after your costs have been taken into account when you are scanning for books using the Amazon seller app, which we'll cover in the next section.
Always check against the low used FBA price. If you want your product to sell before or soon after the lowest price seller sells their book, you want to either match their price or come in one cent lower than their price. This will prevent a race to the bottom caused by automatic repricing programs.
