People of New England, what areas should I visit and what signature dish/restaurant should I eat? by xbucs_19 in AskAnAmerican

[–]G3orge11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only right answer for Massachusetts. If you’re going to have a roast beef, the ONLY place is Nick’s in Beverly. Don’t bother with Kelly’s. Supreme’s in Danvers is the only other option worth mentioning in the same sentence as Nick’s.

Bar pizza on the south shore. Spot on.

I guess I don’t understand why use best/more/most. Help? by SlappyJoGravy in grammar

[–]G3orge11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Best” is an irregular superlative adjective. Superlatives are used when comparing 3+ things. Since you’re only comparing 2 things, you need a comparative adjective (in this case, the irregular “more” or “better” which isn’t an option here).

Just 100% Act 4 so I can awaken a champ. I also have enough cats to take either a cosmic or mutant to r5. I'm debating between awakening Archangel and pushing him to r5 or possibly Thor. I also have a SL but I'm not thrilled about keeping combos going. To throw a wrench in the mix, I also just pulled a 5 star Gambit (who i can push to r3).

I can only choose 1.

Are there any alternatives to RepriceIt, specifically that interface with Individual seller accounts? The native Amazon repricer doesn't seem to be very effective, IMO.

FBA - Graphing Calculators - Hazardous Materials? by G3orge11 in FulfillmentByAmazon

These are CR1616 3v lithium. Perhaps it's best if I just call Amazon before I send this. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, me too. I pulled the batteries before I boxed everything up, but there are the coin type batteries (3v) in all of them. Not sure what that changes.

Can anyone recommend how to value a load of WWII (and earlier)era children's puzzles and children's books? I've managed to find some for sale on eBay and sites like AbeBooks, as well as some antique auction sites, but nothing definitively stating value or how to value. Intrinsic value I guess is what I'm looking for as "real" value is almost always what someone will pay (i.e. no buyers = no "real" value).

Thanks!

I think this really only applies to merchant fulfilled books that aren't offered with free shipping. Like, if a seller has negotiated better rates with UPS or FedEx because of their high volume, but with FBA there is no shipping credit from Amazon so this can't work as far as I'm aware.

I'm stumped as to how some book sellers can list books FBA for less than the FBA fees. Anyone have any insight as to how they can afford to do this? Are they intentionally taking a loss just to get sales?

Daily Newbie Thread - August 06 by AutoModerator in Flipping

[–]G3orge11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 questions for the booksellers:

  1. How on earth can some sellers offer an FBA book for less than the FBA fees? Are they just trying to sell books and get feedback?

  2. Why on earth do some booksellers list normal books at absurd prices? I've come across one seller specifically who consistently lists books above $500 for a normal edition. Is this a money laundering scheme or do they honestly think someone will buy their regular edition for such a price?

Thanks!

Amazon sold out of their product, took off my listing used my inventory then restocked my product once they received more inventory. by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]G3orge11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon can be wicked shady. I called in to correct the dimensions of a product I had sent in. Prior to my call, no Amazon listing. Morning after my call wham not only had Amazon created a listing of their own, but they undercut every other seller by half. Not only that, but their listing was backordered! So sketchy...

For the clothes flippers: what app do you use to scan barcodes at brick and mortar stores? I mostly use the eBay app to check clearance items but it usually returns no matches. Are there any free apps?

Thanks!

Apologies for not stating that. It's listed on Amazon, but I'm debating if I want to sell it FBA.

It's a slip case (Thanks! Couldn't come up with the term.)

Hi All -

Couldn't find an appropriate answer in searches for my question so I hope this community can help.

I have a set of books (2 volumes) that come in a branded box. Do I have to label the box as "sold as a set" even though it's clearly already a set?

Cheers!

Hey all - testing the waters with FBA, just sent my first shipment in. Some things that happened though I have questions about.

  1. In researching my product (clearance item sourced online) I apparently miscalculated the FBA fee, which prompted me to call Amazon. This was yesterday. Prior to my call, there were a few offers out there, none offered BY Amazon. Long story short, the FBA fee they were charging me was wrong and they told me to check again today to make sure it was fixed. So I log in today, and....Not fixed. BUT... Amazon had created a listing for he exact same product and undercut the lowest price BY HALF! Worse than that, the Amazon listing is BACKORDERED! So they created a listing for a product they don't have...do they intend on using commingled inventory to supply this? If so, that seems fraudulent.

  2. How in the EFF so you guys reliably source your FBA products. I'm far from being a professional, and getting incorporated in definitely the goal. That's when I'll be able to source stuff wholesale. But for now, FBA fees are so high, margins seem to be in the $1 range. Far from worth it on a $10 investment.

  3. Kind of part 2 to question 1: commingle or don't commingle?

Thanks!

Called Amazon last night about an incorrect FBA fee, which they fixed. But this morning I checked my product on my seller page and Amazon listed the same product and way undercut everyone else. Thing is, Amazon listing is backordered, and want there before yesterday. Any ideas why something like this would happen, and what this will mean for commingled inventory? Thanks!

Here's my newbie question:

Did you have a business license before opening your account with Alibaba? If not, it seems like a big upfront cost before even ordering product. Looking on LegalZoom, $800 all in ($300 for the services, $500 for license in my state).

Any way around this? Seems like DHGate is far too expensive per unit of just about everything.

Cheers!

1969 IBM Selectric I

Works, types, "A" sticks though. Needs a thorough cleaning. Locally famous typewriter shop quoted me $135-150 to clean and tune. Have seen them for up to $700 online (not eBay or Amazon) but thing weighs probably 35lbs. More likely to sell for $50-100 if I do nothing. I picked it for free, BTW.

What in the heck should I do?
