Amazon Pricing Question

Father_Jack_2

I am quite new to Amazon but managed to get some Audio Books (Tapes and CDs) very cheaply a t a car boot.

I have looked on Amazon and one of them only has one listed at a price of £35.99 - I don't think that anyone will pay this for a tape but just wondered whether I should match this price or just put a price that I would be happy to get.

What do the experienced Amazon sellers think ?

I'd go for something more reasonable... as long as you're sure it's not worth £35! If you don't think it's worth that, buyers probably won't either.

Are you sure it's not collectable?

One tip is to see who has listed it at that price. If it is one of the big US megalisters then ignore it, one book I listed today is a fairly easy to find book, in stock at Amazon at £7.99 where one of the megalisters has it at £34.99. I just joined the ranks of sellers with it at between 75p-£4.

Thanks..........just looked at the other lister and they have - Rating:97% positive over the past 12 months (447 ratings.) 1349 lifetime ratings. - so I will match them for a couple of weeks and then possible drop to a more realistic price in time for the Christmas rush.

i had a book that didnt look much and had £1.25 written in pencil on the inside cover (the rrp was only £4.99) there were 3 other sellers, at £35, £75 and £95. I stuck it on at £32 and after 2 weeks it sold !! Yay

Always worth a go IMHO
