Vinted-to-Amazon Book Flipping

What It Is

Source used books online from Vinted instead of thrift stores or library sales, then sell them on Amazon. The creator browses Vinted's textbooks and study materials category sorted by newest, copies each listing's ISBN into Keepa to check price history and how often it sells, and buys only when the all-in cost (price, buyer protection fee and shipping) is low enough to leave a profit after Amazon fees. He sends lowball offers, checks the same seller's other listings, and ships the books into Amazon in boxes. His examples include a book bought for $3.44 all-in that sold for $55 and one bought for $8.48 that sold for $109.99, with timing tied to January and August textbook seasons.

The Pitch

The creator says this is the best way to start an Amazon book business because it needs little money and no driving: you never visit a store, and many Vinted sellers price books like a garage sale. He argues the downside per book is only a few dollars, so even if half your buys fail you can still come out ahead.

Who It’s Best For

Detail-minded people who enjoy research and can learn to read sales-history charts, and who have room to store and pack books for shipment to Amazon.

The Truth (as we see it)

Online book arbitrage is a real, long-running model, and checking Keepa history before buying is the right habit. The examples shown are hand-picked winners; he admits most listings are not profitable and that slow-selling books carry removal and storage fees on Amazon. Condition and edition can differ from what the seller described, and Vinted's availability and textbook supply vary by country. He is building a paid Vinted sourcing tool (part of BookMine) with a partner and includes a Vinted referral link that pays him.
