 About Amazon Price Lookup
The Amazon Price Lookup (APL) application was designed for the purpose of quickly and easily determining the used price of any book on Amazon.com's marketplace system. It has since grown to include the ability to check that price against a wholesale list, purchase books on Amazon, and sell books on Amazon.
Feel free to sign up for a demo. Of course, your email address will never be sold or given to anyone else. The demo is fully functional for 30 days. At $395, it's a very inexpensive piece of software that will very quickly pay for itself in saved labor costs and increased sales.
A great way to see what the APL can do is to take a look at the user guide, as listed above. It shows in great detail all of the program's abilities with clear instructions and screen shots for every step of the way.
