Re: Amazon search and linkage
Anyone?
I have over 1000 asins for higher ticket value used textbooks that are all 100+ days outdated in their pricing so they need an adjustment. I want to be able to efficiently and safely research each asin and reprice accordingly. I don't mind manually checking because repricers don't do justice and are a waste of money. They don't account for unique circumstances in the used book market or other niche variables only a human can see which will cost me thousands of dollars. I dont want to use my stealth account in its VMware + VPN because:
1) It is slow (1/4 the speed, usually worse). It will take a very very long time to do.
2) The less time I spend clicking through thousands of pages on AMZ the less chance an opportunity to **** up presents itself. Despite using a Windows firewall rule and VPNCheck Pro to auto-close the browser if the VPN disconnects there is still a 1-2 second window where the browser and connection stays open and leaks my ip (i've done tests which shows this).
If you have a similar setup with a firewall and a killswitch go to 24vc.com on your stealth account so you can see your stealth ip. Start rapidly refreshing the page by quickly tapping "F5" and then disconnect from the VPN while you do. Before the firewall or the killswitch kills the connection and closes the browser 24vc.com will show your local ip.
Quickly browsing through thousands of pages to manually inspect asins for repricing would be similar to this "F5" experience as I am almost constantly moving through pages and a single burp from 24vc.com with an outage YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY ****ED. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200. GOOD BYE! YOU ARE LINKED! GET ****ED!
...
Because of the above concerns I want to use my local machine to search. Its very fast and im already using a suspended IP. The only question is: Will my search behaviour for these thousands of very specific asins and subsequent price change on my stealth account for these specific asins (because I am repricing them) create a linkage? What are everyones thoughts?
FYI: The suspended inventory on my stealth account is all FBA. I have a 10:1 of overpriced filler asins as merchant fulfilled.
