I should preface this post with, this is speculative, so maybe the title of this post should be speculating on expected returns.\u00a0 In the last two weeks I have sent three boxes of books to Amazon, totaling 66 books.\u00a0 Here are the stats for each shipment.<\/p>\n

Box 1<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 20 books<\/li>\n
  2. Avg. Rank = 725,000<\/li>\n
  3. Cost Including Shipping = $66.59<\/li>\n
  4. Total Expected Revenue = $767<\/li>\n
  5. Expected Profit = $457.63<\/li>\n
  6. ROI = 687.24%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Box 2<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 17 books<\/li>\n
    2. Avg. Rank = 1,909,360<\/li>\n
    3. Cost Including Shipping = $29.44<\/li>\n
    4. Total Expected Revenue = $417.10<\/li>\n
    5. Expected Profit = $218.24<\/li>\n
    6. ROI = 741.3%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Box 3<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. 29 Books<\/li>\n
      2. Avg. Rank = 1,318,000<\/li>\n
      3. Cost Including Shipping = $33.35<\/li>\n
      4. Total Expected Revenue = $547.84<\/li>\n
      5. Expected Profit = $251.59<\/li>\n
      6. ROI = 754.39%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I like to think that I have not wildly mispriced my inventory.\u00a0 On some books I have matched the lowest offer, on others I am around the 3rd or 4th placed FBA offer.\u00a0 I am still learning and working on my pricing strategy.\u00a0 The other thing that is impacting my profit margin is that I am still paying a $.99 per item fee because I am not on the professional seller plan.\u00a0 I do not sell 40 products a month (cost of plan is $40), at the moment, so it is not yet worth it to me to upgrade.<\/p>\n

        The other big question aside from pricing is turnover, how quickly can I expect this inventory to turn over.\u00a0 According to FBA Mastery, I should expect to sell half of a shipment’s inventory within 60 days.<\/p>\n

        Right now, I am assuming a profit of around $926 on a $128 investment.\u00a0 If half my inventory in fact sells in 60 days and I earn $350-450 I will be pretty jazzed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
