Thank you. Easiest explained is: You, Fletch, google maps> Mentor, Ohio. Then type "Thrift stores near me" and you'll see I don't have to travel far to hit ~30 stores within 30-40 minutes from where I live. There's 12 within 20 minutes. And I cant drive north. I live in a fortunate area and been reselling for decades and know where some not-gonna show up on Maps stores and churches are.

@@2ndHandMediaMan That's awesome. We aren't quite as lucky but do have several that we can hit regularly. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

@@fletchflips1017 Keeps me busy. Im 46 far from retiring. Reselling is good gig if people put their hours in.

Mine is about there. If its thin and good seller than maybe $15. Disc media, for one-off buys, is $12ish. Ill get a $10 like I did today. I do free shipping. Today's small haul video coming up in a few hours.

Ma man above the border. :D (Oh, my other account is the one recently asked if youve found silver in the wild 'Derek'). Maybe you'll find Monkeybone out diving. Feel free to send a few viewers my way; I know you have some US based media fans.

It's a basic video format. Getting a tad better though. Media is a fun niche to source and sell for sure.

It's very helpful. There's many facets why ebay put it in place. I dealt with 45 return cases and 27 were returned and only a few got 100% refund this year.

I agree on everything. We are in an apartment and limited on space (part f why I focused toward media the past few years - takes up less space). Most $100+ books go in the cedar cabinet or a chest. Majority of lower priced books are boxed as seen in the video. I mention in a few videos about a clock & watch box of books I got (slight mention in the "death pile" video. DVD & CD storage video coming tomorrow night. Have to list my recent 35ish disc media in the AM.

Full time. Helps that theres a lot of thrift stores near me.

50th

Thank you. Point of the channel is to extol that media is easy money and hope someone picks up on something I talk about.

@@Opochtli 1/20th the way to monetization level. Just started the channel on December 6th. 50 subs so far isnt bad for what I cover.

No probs. That's part of the point of this channel: to help and generically explain things about selling media on eBay. Free tip: datestamps help when someone sends an offer lower than you want. Easy to look at a picture (convenient when on the app) and know if youve had it for a while and thus more willing to take a lower price/offer.

@2ndHandMediaMan I've developed a pricing structure that allows for the same outcome. I'll be using the date stamp to decide when to reduce prices or purge inventory.

@2ndHandMediaMan I was selling since back when we waited for paper checks to arrive in the mail and having to wait for them to clear the bank, lol, mules and wagon trains.🤠

@@ridgehilljillie9429 I mention in a video thats when I started. I just brought up the Activa carousel widget used to have at the bottom of listing pages to someone else. No FVF on shipping back then. 1st class package was $2 and USPS flat rate wasnt even a glean in their eye.

@@ridgehilljillie9429 I explain in an early video about how I see view count over time and decide to take down and reprice. The example I gave in this video was generic. All this information so to help others ... media sells fast is a big help.

Not sure what you mean by sourcing software. I go to thrift stores and look at interesting media items and scan the barcode or type the title in for DVDs, CDs, books, etc on eBay. If any of those items sell for $15 or more I buy them at an average of $2 each. Rinse repeat 5-6 days a week.

@2ndHandMediaMan Scanning app is what I was getting at. Just the ebay app, then, interesting. Thank you. Some people use Amazon or Scanpower or thongs like that.

Thank you for the question. I do not have a resurfacer. I do have a basic $30 disc surface cleaner though. I use that with the JFJ resurface compound. It helps a little. It helps enough to where I can still list the disc and write something in the description.

@@2ndHandMediaMan Thank you!! 😁

@@justinwalton601 Sure thing.

Awesome! Thank you! It all adds up. Main predicate of the channel is to explain that selling media is relatively easy and can boost sales for those whom are resellers. Lots of explanations in the videos. Quality and type of content will get better in due time.

Thank you. Very basic videos. The main point is that media is a fast selling niche on ebay and if someone needs extra money, my videos may help them.

There's just so much out there; at least where I live. I'd prefer to see others emulate these secrets than have this stuff be in the landfill.

@@2ndHandMediaMan I like that you are talking about the math, the numbers vs the finds and the shine... keep it up!... yes, we are filling a need for people who cant get things where they live that they want, that are not too hard to get where we live

If they get listed is the only part that matters. I just posted a video about a $300+ book I got today for $3.

@2ndHandMediaMan well done, that's around $400AU. Last good value book we sold was a Phillip K Dick Folio Society. We paid $5US each for just over 100. We sell one every now and then, happy to sit on them to get top dollar

@@davidnorton7464 Thanks. My videos are mainly disc media based with a spattering on books (and a few loose $50-$200 non media). I give a cursory and what looks good I look up. Of every 1000 in front of me, I probs look up 50 at most. Just got the eye for topics and quality. Disc media is 90% scannable and much quicker. Most of my books are non barcode so majority i have to hand type. Keep coming back. Daily videos.

Most of our listings are bundles of books to make them worth more, they are excess to our book exchange needs so rather than binning they go online. Novels aren't popular to buy but themselves considering the post. Put we can get 2-3 trade paperback books into the same postage so the customer gets a better deal and we get a higher sale price. We've been lucky to score some collectors sets of CD & DVD music artists, Anime sets and complete TV series. Single item media is not like it used to be for us. We do score some odd non fiction about in the charity stores and library sales.

@@davidnorton7464 I'm fortunate where I live as there's 12 thrift stores within 20 minutes, 30 within 40, 60+ if I stretch it to ~90 minutes (that's rare I go that far as I get enough locally). I mention this in several videos. This means I see and buy more items at $15 listable. I rarely lot. And when I do it's usually DVDs and CDs and rarley books. Books wise, for the most part, need to be smaller and $30+.

Every little bit helps.

Thank you.

Heya. Thank you. Needed to get the word out that selling media is an easy and fun job. Feel free to share to those who may like my content. Here's to cheers!

I understand. I have shifted categories many times. I used to sell mainly stainless flatware 15+ years ago. Flooded market now. The non-media I have listed is slowly getting sold off.

Thank you for the comment. Media items turned my sales way up. Few media items I ship go media mail. Usually the GA (1st class) is cheaper or only a tad more and has insurance. Media is so awesome that I just got a 1st Edition/1st Print US copy of The Neverending Story. I'll get $200 for it. Paid $3. It'll be listed tomorrow and with in a video.

@@2ndHandMediaMan for sure 1st ...1st.. if it is one offs.. but a box full it starts to save, or heavy items
