Who is Bowtied Book Seller?

I am an Amazon FBA College Textbook Reseller. I sold my first book in November 2023 and haven’t looked back since.

What’s the strategy?

Simple: buy low and sell high.

College textbook reselling takes advantage of one of the most repeatable cycles of behavior. Every year college students wait for their syllabus to be released and turn to Amazon Prime for fast delivery.

Here’s an example:

I bought the book for $47
I sold the book for $109

But wait, there’s more.

The college textbook industry generates over $3 Billion in sales every year… 

Capturing .00001% of this industry will make you a top 5% income earner in the US. 

Follow along as I document the growth of my business and share insights to lessons learned along the way.
