Scoutpal - Amazing tool for book buying
ScoutPal is a monthly subscription service that allows you to access Amazons sales data from your cell phone. Using a web enabled cell phone (almost all cell phones are now.) You log on to their service, input the ISBN or UPC from any book, DVD, CD, or VHS tape. Scoutpal then gives you a detailed summary of the market prices and quantities, the sales rank, the editions and availability, and any used/new/collectible details.
The simplest version, which will accomplish what most people need, costs $9.95 a month, or 29.85 quarterly. (I recomend you take advantage of their 1week free trial here however you will most likely love it and become a monthly subscriber like myself.)
If buying and selling used books are your bread and butter, you can also purchase a portable scanner to hook to your phone which will save a lot of time on typing the ISBN numbers into your cell phone.
Scoutpal can also lookup pricing on PriceGrabber.com but this isn’t near as useful for myself.
