5.0 out of 5 stars Usual Great & Inspirational Info from Steve, 23 April 2011

J. Carter (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Barcode Booty: How I found and sold $2 million of 'junk' on eBay and Amazon, And you can, too, using your phone (Kindle Edition)

Having read several of Steve's other books, I was so excited to see this on the Kindle that I downloaded Kindle for iMac and read it at one sitting. As always, Steve is easy to understand and gives plenty of his own and other people's examples. Gives some great ideas of where to find stock, as well as examples of how much you can make by buying marked down stock.
In the next edition, it'd be great to see some info on what apps are available in the UK and other markets - but this book certainly had me inspired to explore the FBA program!

4.0 out of 5 stars New Installment of Steve Weber's Diary of Online Selling, 6 Jun 2011

By B. Marold "Bruce W. Marold" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Barcode Booty: How I Found and Sold $2 Million of 'junk' on EBay and Amazon, And You Can, Too, Using Your Phone (Paperback)

Barcode Booty is, I believe, the fourth book Mr. Weber has written and self-published on the subject of reselling on the Internet. It would be interesting to know why Mr. Weber does not publish through an established Publishing house, since the quality of his material, and the interest it would find is certainly high.

The book passes my first test of a superior volume. I found something interesting and useful within the first five minutes of reading. If this doesn't happen, whether its cooking or theology or hiking or computer engineering, I immediately assume 4 stars or less. The easter egg in this book is when Mr. Weber describing finding a toy at T. J. Maxx for $30, which he sold on Amazon for $280. The way he was able to accomplish this discovery, with a cellular phone camera with barcode reader and pricing applications, is the primary subject of this book. Otherwise, the book essentially follows the pattern of his earlier works. Thus, if you don't have his earlier books, this rates five stars. If you do, and you are familiar with the barcode reading abilities of cell phones, maybe three stars. I split the difference.

There are two kinds of people who may be interested in this book. The first is people who wish to imitate Mr. Weber's self-made career. The second are those who may wish to avoid the first kind of people, and find where this stuff can be bought cheap.

Since the Amazon page contains lots of detail, and since there are many reviews, I will stop there and end by repeating that Mr. Weber's task is not "easy". It requires a lot of hard work, but you have the advantage of working for yourself, and a reasonable certainty of good rewards for good effort. However, it does require some basic computer talent and a place to store inventory, at least some inventory.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Veritable Goldmine of Profitable Information, 26 July 2011

By Joe Waynick "Author of Internet Bookselling M... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Barcode Booty: How I Found and Sold $2 Million of 'junk' on EBay and Amazon, And You Can, Too, Using Your Phone (Paperback)

Steve Weber knocks another one out of the park with the latest addition to his online bookselling series. This time Steve educates his readers about the benefits of product diversification. While everyone else is worried about eBooks and how they will affect Amazon booksellers, Steve is busy reselling children's toys, power tools, grocery items, and the like. All the while using the exact same skills he developed scouting for books. And by the way, he still sells lots of books too.

I mean this guy is cutting edge! He tells you what equipment to buy, what software to use, and how to spot bargains waiting to be bought and resold from just about any retailer you care to mention. He literally explains how you can use your smart phone as a "treasure detector."

For example, he regales the reader with stories of how some of his students patrol stores like TJ Maxx, Big Lots, HomeGoods, Marshalls, and Burlington Coat Factory; picking up bargains from $0.25 - $0.50 on the dollar and reselling them on Amazon at full retail. It's safe to say that Barcode Body is the ultimate arbitrage tool for online sellers of all kinds.

Just because a manufacturer discontinues a brand or model doesn't mean it can't be sold profitably online. Manufacturing companies closeout merchandise all the time. That can spell big bucks for you if you know what to look for. Weber shows you how.

This compact 156 page book packs quite a wallop. If you're looking for a part-time or full-time endeavor, or if you want to branch out into new territory in your bookselling business, then this is one book you can't afford to pass up.
