Doing Amazon.com price checks using PriceYoga is simple. On your mobile phone, send a text message to a@priceyoga.com with a list of ISBNs or CD/DVD bar codes. The list should be separated by spaces or new lines. When you have entered from 1 to 4 ISBNs or bar codes, send the message.
In a few seconds, you will receive a text message from PriceYoga with the current new and used prices as well as Amazon's listing price for each book, cd, and dvd that you entered. As typical cell phone displays are small, titles are truncated to the first 10 letters. The response will look something like this:
0671041789
Book - The Green
a:7.99 n:0.98 u:0.01
720642452820
Music - August and
a:10.47 n:7.50 u:0.74
This means that the book "The Green Mile" is being sold by a 3rd party used for 1 cent, new for 98 cents, and is selling new on Amazon.com for $7.99. Further, the CD "August and Everything After" is being sold by a 3rd party used for 74 cents, new for $7.50, and is listed on Amazon.com for $10.47.
The Steps:
- Send a text message to a@priceyoga.com with 1 to 4 ISBNs or CD/DVD bar codes.
- Wait for a text message response with the prices.
- Repeat as necessary.
