"going through each item one by one, spend countless hours cross checking, price checking, how many times it sold, how many sellers are there, the history, etc, etc, just to make a 3% ratio on sales"
Thats cherry picking the hard way. The process you describe reminds me of those youtube videos of a person showing how he finds products and check profits on both sites. Theres too many tools available to even be doing it that way. No, i don't mean Terapeak. In my opinion, Terapeak to is junk that just makes finding products to sell harder. I tried the thousands of listings and picking out the good ones myself, but that isnt for me anymore. That extra cost in money and time for each listing adds up after awhile.
"For every minute you spend planning you save 10 minutes in work" BT
Kawgy,
I wouldn't be so quick to say Terapeak is junk. There are other tools that are being created, and/or you can make yourself.
But for the everyday user and for the price. It works. You just need to understand how to use it properly

Dune,
Its wasn't a quick decision to say that Terapeak is junk. I had a membership since 2010. I just don't use it as much as I use to. Last year i probably logged in about 4 times.
The first time i used it I thought it was the best thing ever. Over the several years of use, I found out that it lacked critical information to make a good decision to stock a product or not. I tried to use the tool to make help make my decisions easier even that didn't help much.
All their calculations are useless e.g. bids per listing, sold count, sellers per day, etc. It may not be obvious to the new user that those calculations don't help much, but when they start using the tool more they will start seeing incorrect/missing important data. I tried many ways of using that tool to make it work.
I always ended up with inconsistent results. This inconsistency cost my company money that couldn't be ignored. I do feel I used it long enough to know its functions inside out. I wasn't able to make it work for me, so its junk in my opinion.
Anyhow, through all that I found out better ways to make my selections.

Sounds interesting, what tools are you talking about?
I can only think of scrapers. And it seems like most of the ones I've come across are junk in my opinion.

It certainly wouldn't surprise me. His course is full of nothing but fluff and rehashed material that's been around forever.
Do you really think he's going to reveal his money making secrets? Of course not, he'd be a fool to.

Yeap, because somebody who is really on their game and banking hard from the method won't be bothered trying to sell a course and deal with customers. The return would be minimal compared to the eBay business.
Selling Shovels is a lot easier than digging.
Why not make money both ways.
If you've read around the forum, he's creating tools for his own growth and for resell soon. Be prepared for more shovels incoming!
To be honest, I don't think he's telling the complete truth. That's the reason he's moved to a business account. He's had to learn with the punches too. Prime accounts will have their Prime accounts suspended at some point if used in any type of volume.
The only method I've seen to circumvent this is lying about the usage of the account. I've seen someone lie stating they were a charity, and they just shipped free items to people. I don't like this excuse. However, whatever floats your boat.

Yes, finally! Somebody gets it. I don't know why somebody would waste their time making a puny $50 course when they're making thousands. And there's no doubt he isn't telling his members everything. I also thought that was strange about him getting an Amazon business account, funny how he never explained why he did that.
I bought his course and was in the skype group. He promised a price yak like software to his members back in November. He gave excuse after excuse as to why it still wasn't available. Why do you think he got rid of the $30 a month subscription he was charging for his course and changed it to a $50 one time fee instead? Because he has no intention of ever coming out any type of software.
Eh, I wouldn't go as far as saying he doesn't plan on coming out with software.
I most definitely believe it's in the works.
I believe that he's not the one developing the software. Push back is coming from devs... Not him. There are many tricky things regarding the creation of this type software. Amazon can change it's structure at any moment and cause a problem with the system. Thankfully, the eBay side is the easier side to work with since it has an API set in stone.

I read his ad. Hes says in the ad hold you by the hand through the process then later he has posts saying not going to spoon feed. To me spoon feeding and holding by the hand both practically mean the same thing. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but the contradicting messages has left me confused.
Anyone else having issues with his product?

If only I could click that "Thanks" button another 100 times....
Well said, Muffslayer. All true and completely logical.

Agree with Password01, one of the best posts i have read on this thread.
I am SLOWLY building my business and learning from mistakes, i just had my listing limits doubled to 600, nothing compared to some, but its growing.
Sales have slowed down after Christmas, well isn't that obvious for anyone who has been in sales or retail before.
Treat it as a business, not a get rich quick scheme and you should succeed.
Those are great sales figures Muffslayer, i plan to hopefully be at that level in a few months time.
