CURIOUS ABOUT buying from yourself to ramp rank

VanVan13 · #1 07-22-2017

You guys know when you make a new listing your in the sandbox with a rank of a million ect. cant really show up until you get that first sale or two. Anyone make a stealth buyer and nibble at the new listings a bit to get them to start showing up? was gonna make a few merch at super low cost for the buy to boost my FBA send a thank you card with tracking, lol.

cost of the buys would be alot less then pay per click for a sandboxed product or for dropping the price so low to attract a bargain hunter, and you know the cheaper the customer the more of a PITA they are

i heard the big guys do this for launches they have alot of money to throw at launch companies for this to have chunks of products bought and rotated around to get them a push start. ive had medical bills eat all my funds so im looking for any boost i can give myself at low cost.

so how my idea sound any warnings or tips from the gurus here so i dont shoot myself in the foot?

thanks bros
