The Most Expensive Products on Amazon
We all know that Amazon.com has millions of products, but if you were asked could you name some of the most expensive products on their site?
Probably not, but this is important to know if you are going to try and make money with Amazon.com and their affiliate program.
The Amazon.com affiliate program is unique and different from many others in that you earn a small commission on all referred sales. This commission will range from 4% to 8.5% depending on the amount of items you sell in a given month. Knowing these numbers and figures can be quite important.
If you are going to sell low priced products through Amazon you are going to want to be able to sell a lot of them. Another option is to focus on high end items so you can earn a nice commission on these big purchases. If you really want to get the most out of Amazon and their affiliate program you will do a mixture of both so you can get a higher commission based off the full volume of sales you can push per month.
Getting back on point, what are the most expensive items on Amazon.com?
After doing some research I’ve been able to find the following products and categories.
Big Expensive Generators
If you ever had a power outage and needed to get things running, then there is nothing better than having your own generator. While most generators will run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, Amazon has generators that run into the $30,000 range! How would you like to earn a nice 4-8% commission on one of these?
Most Expensive Item:
[easyazon-link asin=”B000P5TUKG” locale=”us”]- Generac Commercial Series Liquid-Cooled Standby Generator – 150 kW, 277/480 Volts, LP, Model# QT15068KVAC[/easyazon-link]
High End Watches
Millionaires, online marketers and affiliates love to flash their bling and fancy watches. Amazon has a massive supply of watches for sale through their site… everything from cheap plastic watches to plenty of diamond laces leather watches going for over $10k each. If you start looking through Amazon’s watch inventory, be sure to short by price and you will start to see some watches in the $100k range… and people are buying this stuff daily through their site! Niche watch sites can be a huge money maker.
Most Expensive Item:

Diamonds and Jewelry
You can’t talk about watches and not mention jewelry. Yes, people love Amazon so much that they are willing to shell out six figures for high end diamond jewelry. Everything from wedding bands, necklaces to jewels, Amazon is loaded with a heavy supply of five figure jewelry and a decent amount that fall into the six figure range as well!
Most Expensive Item:
[easyazon-link asin=”B00BR4CN30″ locale=”us”]5.63 CT Ideal Cut Round J-VS2 EGL Cert Diamond 14k Gold Classic Solitaire Engagement Ring 3.20gr[/easyazon-link]
Designer Hand Bags
It looks like we are seeing a common trend here… Amazon.com has a demand for high end fashion products and jewelry that people are willing to pay big bucks for! We’ve all seen the shows on TV where celebrities and housewives blow thousands of dollars on hand bags in high end stores. There’s no need to start a local retail business of your own. How about earning a nice commission on these $10k-$30k hand bags!
Most Expensive Item:
[easyazon-link asin=”B00DPWNDZE” locale=”us”]Michael Kors MK Signature Jet Set Grab Bag Shoulder Tote[/easyazon-link]
Industrial Products
Amazon really does sell everything! If you’ve ever had the chance to look through the “Industrial” section of their site you will be surprised with how much stuff is out there. This is where you can really find some hidden gems to create niche product sites and cash in. You always have the option to try and sell some $30,000 dock lifts and moving trucks in the process!
Most Expensive Item:
[easyazon-link asin=”B0089PZRGA” locale=”us”]Beacon Truck Scissor Dock Lifts; Platform Size (WxL)[/easyazon-link]
Expensive Grills
Most of us have a nice grill that we can be proud of and we probably spent a few hundred dollars on them and thought it was a lot. Take some time to look through Amazon for high end grills and you will find plenty in the $20,000-$30,000 range. Of course these aren’t targeted towards your average home owner, but there is still a demand for them out there and why not sell them through Amazon?
Most Expensive Item:
[easyazon-link asin=”B005EYSMIY” locale=”us”]Liquid Propane Frymaster FPGL430-8CA Gas Floor Fryer with Four Split Frypots and Automatic Top Off[/easyazon-link]
What is the Most Expensive Item on Amazon?
Well, we went through a lot of different products and ideas for you to start earning high commissions with Amazon and their affiliate program. Even with a small 4-8% commission, it still adds up to a lot of money when you are looking at some of these high ticket items.
Back to our original question… what is the most expensive item on Amazon? I came across several items that were listed for over a million dollars, but most of these were marked wrong and simply not removed from the site yet. There is also the issue of extremely rare items being listed on the site and selling, which means the most expensive items can actually change quite often on the site.
The most expensive item on Amazon.com that I was able to come across was this [easyazon-link asin=”B00BQZNSIY” locale=”us”]5.63 CT Ideal Cut Round J-VS2 EGL Cert Diamond 14k Gold Classic Solitaire Engagement Ring 3.20gr[/easyazon-link] which was originally $312,475.00 but can be yours with a 60% discount at $124,990.00!  This diamong ring takes the cake as one of the “legitimate” most expensive items on Amazon.com.
With a close second we come across another high ticket item in the jewelry section. Even at 45% off and with an original price tag of $205,000, this [easyazon-link asin=”B008B9JWK6″ locale=”us”]Zenith Defy Xtreme Tourbillon Men’s Automatic Watch[/easyazon-link] is sure to drop the jaws of even the biggest watch enthusiasts.
If you would like to do your own research on Amazon to find expensive items in niche markets, all you need to do is browse through their site, select the category and sort by ” highest to lowest price”. You will need to break down your categories for the best results.

hey Zac
I always wanted to find the most expensive Amazon items (and maybe write and expose a post like that)
Yours deserve all the shares and viral promotion, sincerely
Who wouldn’t love 4% on a 10k sale? That’s $400 from one shoot. Awesome! Food for thought for my next niche sites (I own about 300 and still building new ones…)
OK. I look forward to reading next posts… I wonder what you’re cooking up next? 🙂
Those are crazy prices, but did you notice the watch had 42 reviews??? If those are all legitimate reviews, the company made a killing on that watch so far!
Wow!! I have never seen amazon items with those prices. The commission would be great if you sold any of the items you listed. I would love to be part of Amazon Partnership but they don't have a program for Illinois residents. Great post!

These prices are absolutely absurd! Are they even legitimate? For some reasons, I can't justify these prices being legitimate. Regardless to say, if they are, @marcuswickes hit the statement on the nose. "The company made a killing…"

Quite an interesting piece of article. Yes, for anyone who desire to go for amazon affiliate marketing, this post is also motivating! It is still important to stress the important of driving regular and dependable traffic to a website so that the chance of conversion with high end products from Amazon will increase!
Wow. Those are insane prices. EXPENSIVE in its truest form.
And you’re saying that you could earn more with expensive stuff. The more expensive, the less you have to sell. Hmm. But you have to target them wealthy people.
Looking at reviews will also help. It could be a best seller and you’ve just missed out.
Gave us an idea, thanks!
Wow,_ What a watch price! Thanks for the great article Zac!
Thanks for the great article. I have had an issue with the commission structure Amazon has put together. A measly 4% to start with, then resets to that number again every month! But if you were to sell high priced items as you suggest, the commission percentage doesn't look as bad. In fact, it becomes closer to the actual commission percentages made by sales people within that industry. It is when you focus on promoting nickle and dime items instead of higher dollar value items that the commission results seem poor. Even though it is more difficult to sell a high priced item, when you do make a sell, it then all becomes worth while!
