We love hearing your FBAScout success stories! Send them to info@fbapower.com
I use the Scanfob™ 2002 paired with my EVO Android cellphone allowing me to become more than a book scouter; I use this dynamic duo with a program called FBAScout. FBA Scout is a mobile product scouting service that provides live pricing data for every item in the Amazon catalog from every category. I have expanded my online business to include toys, electronics, household items, just to mention a few! Now I scan for any item that is profitable. I also want to mention support from Serialio.com is wonderful. They were very helpful and patient with helping me setup my Scanfob™ 2002. Thank you Serialio for a great product and great support!

The FBAScout with my Scanfob™ 2002 has been the absolutely best addition to my amazon business. Never leave home without it and it is amazing the “finds” at the “normal” stores. Today invested $60 in calendars that should easily bring between $150-200. All while doing my normal shopping for my kids stocking stuffers. Easily paying for the FBAPower/FBAScout subscription and the phone line I have dedicated to my businesss–in less than 15 minutes!! Another “find”–Joan Jett Barbie dolls. Paid $25–sold for $49.95 less than 3 hours after going live on Amazon FBA. Who would have thought?! All I can say is–awesome!

I have fallen for the new scanner and FBA scout. Today I went to my best store wally world and just took a couple hours of just scanning clearance to see what FBA scout was all about. I found a whole section of ranking under 1,000 and had a 10-20 dollar profit margin. I am not a high risk person so I bought one of each (there were ten of most items). I am selling them from home and if they do not sell as expected I kept the receipt (no risk unless I break a box). Gotta love it. If you think only Chris can do it think again anyone can get out there and make money in just a few hours. I found two items (I am buying more so I will not tell you my products) and have sold over and over this season. Product A for $15: NO FBA seller and lowest price was 30 bucks. Rank 471 only 3 listings. Bought 20 shipped 11 and sold 9 from my house. $135 profit sold all nine in 2 days. The ones I shipped sold for $45 and after FBA i netted $220 profit. This one item made me $355 in 3 days all FBA sold out the day they got there. I just bought 20 more today and expect to sell out in a few days again. At the same time I did deal B. I paid $25 each they are online for $99. I bought 12 total. I kept 4 at home sold those in one day for $75 Net $60 after shipping equals $140 profit. Eight I sent and sold for $89.99 net $75.00 = $540 profit in a couple hours. I bought 15 more of these items and will send all to FBA. This is two products I bought 6 items at this one store and they are all selling well and I will buy more. Anyone out there struggling just keep up the work and think about products you never thought about before.

I bought an item and sold within 8 days all 20 of them for more than $60/pc. There was another product that I bought at Walmart for $24 and sells for $54 I am buying some more today and hopefully it sells before Christmas.

Well I am a believer! In the past 2 weeks I have scouted and purchased a conservative amount of products, processed and shipped them to FBA and as of this morning I would say 70% of the product has SOLD for profit far beyond the book margins I typically get. In some cases 400% +! I just wish Chris would have been able to get this product to market sooner. As for technical problems, I am not experiencing any! I bought a new Sprint Galaxy phone and a Scanfob™ 2002, I guess I have $6-700 invested and with the last 2 weeks profits they are now paid for! Books are still in my business plan but the overall profit picture is dramatically being supplemented with the inclusion of these new product. Shipping costs are also a lot less and processing time is next to nothing compared to the books. Think of how many books you have to process to make up a $1000 shipment compared to an equal amount of Toys! I am sold!

Just upgraded my free FBAScout on the EVO to the paid plan. I had no idea the gold that was out there in those retail stores! Used the 50 free scans today and made about $160 bucks (if all sells at conservative estimates) in less than an hour and KNOWING NOTHING about this strategy. My free scans ran out otherwise I would still be at Walmart
I found an item that was selling for $100 by regular marketplace sellers but $140 by 2 FBA sellers. The possibilities are endless. I am doing well with books but its getting so crowded in the LA area with so many people out of work. Everyday I see more new faces getting into the book buying business. This retail arbitrage is going to be awesome. Thanks for the awesome tools you develop!

Whoo-hoo! I’m really excited. I sent in books, VHS tapes, calendars and toys yesterday to the tune of over $3K assuming I sell everything at the price for which I listed it. I sent in 11 boxes – my biggest shipment yet. I feel so inspired and empowered. I found a store selling a specialty Barbie doll for $9 (normally $14) that is selling on Amazon for $45! Booyah! I was very excited. I also got a couple of other items that are selling in the $25-$30 range that I bought for even less. I am selling games and calendars like crazy. Thank you for all your help!
