Old Inventory
 

I was suspended about 2 years ago from Amazon. I had about 150 units (mostly used electronics) returned to me and they have been sitting in storage since then. About a year ago I succesfuly created a stealth account thanks to this forum and im wondering if I should even try to send all this old inventory from my old account. There is a couple of thousand dollars worth of stuff here and I would hate to donate it. Thanks

I say liquidate on Ebay. Amazon is way too volatile/unpredictable.

Keep in mind that if you start again on eB, don't start off with huge electronics sales from the getgo

Re: Old Inventory
 

OP appears to be an AZ-only seller, so I thought it would be worth the risk to liquidate the increasingly stale inventory on Ebay.

I do have to agree though. Don't start an Ebay account out with used iPads.

If you're going to resell the same products you previously sold on Amazon there is a chance you can get linked and suspended

Make sure to add new products if you are going to resell old products. The ratio I like is 20 new items for sale for every 1 previously sold item

Re: Old Inventory
 

Some people say 5 to 1 others 10 to 1 and now 20 to 1..but does this rule still apply if you relist your old inventory by creating completely new products, news asins/upcs, modified description/titles, clean photos using batch purifier etc?

Re: Old Inventory
 

If you do all of that then it is not the same products.

Re: Old Inventory
 

There's no set rule. Its best to truly avoid selling previously sold items all together

But if you're going to do it, might as well create the highest ratio of new products for every previously sold item.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I sent 3 high value items and will liquidate the rest on Ebay. I think I should be ok since I have 500 other ASINs currently listed
