Why Does That Matter to You?

“What Do I Sell on Amazon?”

I Get Asked this a TON

This Question Prevents More People from Starting than Any Other

So How do the “Pros” Know?

Most Use Keepa

Don’t Be Intimidated!!!

I Know, It Looks Like a Lot...

This Scares Most Others Off

But Not You! Not After Today!

Lets Break it Down

“The Legend”

Toggle On/Off Whatever You Want to Compare

Amazon is the Orange Bar

The Blue Line is the “New” Price

The Colored Dots in the Graph Will Match What You Select

Amazon/New/Used(Condition) Would be Good if Selling Used Items

Y-Axis (Left, Vertical)

Price History

$0-$50 (in this example)

Increments of $10 (this example)

Y-Axis (Right, Vertical)

’Sales Rank’ or ‘Best Seller Rank’

BSR is an Amazon Metric

Categories are Ranked First to Last Based on Sale Frequency

A Low Number is Good

The Green Line is ‘Sales Rank’

Valleys Good, Peaks Bad

Not Shown on ‘Free’ Keepa

X-Axis (Bottom, Horiztonal)

Date Range

Also, Under the Legend You Can Select How Far Back to Track

More Recent? (Day, Week, Month)

Need Long Term? (Up to All-Time)

Number of Other Sellers

Blue Line (similar to sales rank)

Located in Graph Directly Under Price History Graph

Line Goes Up = More Sellers

Line Goes Down = Fewer Sellers

Fewer Sellers Means You Have More Control of the Market

The Point of Your Mouse

To See An Exact Date?

Scroll Your Mouse Over the Chart and See Exactly What Happened that Day

Date, Sales Rank, New Price, Whatever Else You Have Selected Under “Legend”

What’s it All Mean?!?!

Well, a Lot!

By Having a Complete Sales History...

You See How Consistently Something Sells and at What Price

Most Importantly, for Resellers, You See What Happens When Amazon Runs Out of Stock...

For Example...

We See Here that Amazon (Orange Bar) Was Out of Stock from Late June to Late September

Sales Slow Down (green line

)

But ‘New’ Price Went Up Too!

Amazon Came Back in Stock Around October and the Price Came Down While Sales Increased

Spotting Trends

Knowing What Happens When Amazon is In or Out of Stock is Just One Aspect

Time of Year for Toys (Q4) or Books (Semester Starts) Can DRASTICALLY Effect Pricing

Want to See What Happens When Comparable LEGO Sets Retire? ...

SO Much More!
