Good on you young blood for keeping up that hard work. Every year, you're getting better and better at the game. I notice your vids pick up more random negative comments than you deserve. Water off the back, and eyes on the prize. You keep doing you, and you'll be fine.
Thanks! Yeah Trolls will be trolls, I dont mind them too much lol
Did you make any sales on that stuff yet???
@@ThriftSchool The trolls don't have your bank account, so they can keep it moving. Let em hate. Kat Williams once famously said if you don't have haters you're not doing it right! I appreciate your videos. Thanks for showing us newbies how it's done.
I love the click led pencils because you don’t have to sharpen them. I use wall calendars to write my bills on the day they are due.
Nice video that I stumbled on. But one thing I’ve learned from others is to NEVER leave any on the shelf if your gonna take something!. All your doing is helping your competition….
My local dollar tree just upped their prices to $1.25 🤪 I pick up stacks of books pretty often .. idk why I never checked the DVDs!
Luckily ours stayed at $1
In MA they are all still 1 dollar
What city? And is everything 1.25 or only certain items ?
Just wondering, since you’re buying all of those dvds, wouldn’t it be pretty profitable to drive around to all the other local dollar trees? They usually receive the same dvds at all their locations. Since you’ve already scanned a bunch you would spend less time at each of the subsequent locations by knowing what is worth selling.
Sadly there are only 2 within over 30 mins of my house. So yeah I can probably hit up 1 more, I may do that tomorrow actually :)
I subbed to your channel because I wanted to get into the game but over the year I’ve learned that it’s certainly WORK!
LOTS OF WORK! Totally worth the work though
Its also kind of a hobby for me now while making part time job $!
Oh nooooo you just put my hustle out there, I bought literally thousand DVD’s, normally they don’t carry great ones but they had bangers, I went to a load of dollar trees
I think I am in the wrong part of the country. My dollar stores hardly sell any DVDs
1 out of 20 folks can sell DVDs on Amazon so not many folks watching this can benefit...either way great find!
I showed many other items in the video that benefit ebay sellers big time. Did you watch the whole video?
DVD's are probably the riskiest thing to sell from the dollar tree anyway. Food items,coloring books,trinkets etc. those could all just be regional overstocks. Almost every non kids Mockbuster at Dollar Tree is something that has been sitting in a film distribution studio's storage for many year.So when you find movie XYZ suddenly at your local dollar tree chances are that's now at dollar tree's across the country, so even if their is something that is listed for $15 sell price on amazon and a profit to be made reselling it then it becomes a race btwn resellers if they dropped said item at every local store the same day.
Nice
Even with the slight prices increase Dollar Tree is going to start doing - $1.25-$1.50, there is still profit to make!
for sure!
My local Family Dollar had/has a sealed copy of Backyard Baseball 2010 for PlayStation 2 in their video game section as of a few months ago. I always thought that was pretty random and hilarious.
Thats pretty funny. Might be worth it? Who knows
@@ThriftSchool I think they were selling it for $5 and looks like it would be worth $12-20
That 1 percent on your phone lasts longer than mine at 20 lol
dude I was so surprised. It lasted way longer than I thought it would.
DCD's are a gated category for new sellers ,right?
I'm thinking about starting an Amazon business fba.
the prices are already crashing hard on some of the DVDs, the race to the bottom sellers found them too, unfortunately. One with solid price history selling around $20 people jumped in at 9.99 or less.
Ill give an update in a couple of weeks to see how many of mine sold.
@@ThriftSchool Found one I have sold before and it has been steady at $30 for as far back as the chart goes. Hit DT and BOOM 15 for a week and now 7.99 OUCH! I will just have to outlast the price crashers! Wish they would learn they do not need to totally tank an item to sell.
Do you ever worry about people looking at you scanning stuff? I'm so paranoid about that
Ive had some people give me weird stares in the past. I try to ignore it lol
Hmm, I wonder if my local Dollar Tree's have DVD's. I think I am going to check them out later this week. Thanks for the idea.
yeah give it a shot!
i can never get approved for dvds on amazon :(
Hey been a big fan of the channel for a while now. Would you ever consider doing tutorial style videos for selling on Amazon? I know eBay pretty well but hesitant to get into Amazon. Ty for the content!
I have thought about it, but it has changed so much over the years, and im grandfathered into so many categories. I also use a 3rd party listing software that most people dont use so I wouldnt be of much help.
Also, that's your first mistake, don't be hesitant. It takes tenure and consistency to get into Amazon. It's worth every hurdle, and hoop you jump through and over lol. Don't wait, because it'll take you 6months to a year to even really "start" on Amazon, but again, so much easier than eBay when it comes to shipping haha
Most of those don't scan correctly because they use a generic barcode. As in the same code. Uncork'd and hig octane do it alot
The sign- "Walking into the D'lar Tree." 😂
I was waiting for you to hit up the Dollar Tree movies! Haha ive found steel books, video games, some good stuff! Check dollar general next time they get in video games and dvds too
I will this week!
Dollar genral gets video games? Like what kinds lol
@@bloodandhonor00 ive seen xbox, playstation and DS games. Nothing crazy, crazy but you never know! Worth a check if you got one near
@@RobTheVlog I live like 4 streets over from one
@@bloodandhonor00 it's been awhile since ive gone, but i remember like Deal or no Deal on DS. I know they also get pre-owned games in too. So it could be random
amazon going to be stuck with millions of reseller copies of Wolves . lol
lmao
Who would even buy these movies from amazon? They might "sell" for that but nobody is buying them..
How did you get ungated in dvds?
Do you mind sharing time frame it took for you to sell what you bought?
Question do you sell these movies to amazon? Or how does that work
@ThriftSchool Do you wrap your DVDs in bubble wrap?
No I dont
The dollar tree I went to had about 100 dvds sealed. I would have scanned and bought them all for you but I figure you don't want to drive to worcester massachusetts
Hey I live in CT as well . I’m up in the northern part of the state but maybe we’ll cross paths sometime
damn bro! I'm hitting dollar tree tomorrow! I had no idea about the dvds there!!
You should Also look at the competition, they can sell for $15 but if you look at other selling. It goona be 9.99 or some even 7.99. Just a heads up.
What's the rule on the DVDS that don't have the security seals....are they still considered new?
I do sell on eBay but was always curious with Amazon. Do you have a video out with Amazon for beginners.
I dont, but there are lots of them on TH-cam!
If prices increase to $1.25, how would that effect your profit?
Just we adjust our prices getting to point if a seller ask under 5.50 shipped there losing money in my eyes. If they paid 1.25 of course.
Pawn shops also have movies for sale cheap.
Oh yeah! Theres not many around me, but I do love going to them
great video. have any tips on keeping shipping down when selling on ebay
Didnt look like you was counting shipping fees or fulfillment fees
decided to look up those java monster drinks and they're a big seller surprisingly!
Yup! Great Seller actually. but they are kinda heavy so would it be worth it? Maybe?
Good job- really thoughtful and different. Who would go day after day to the same place? It's either genius or insanity.
your videos have the best outro music ever
Thanks! I like it also :)
Two Thngs ....You are better then dollar tree lol You can do this due to FBA and being ungated on dvd's. So 99% of us cant do this. This is just like the people who post Wallmart videos when nobody else gets the same deals.
I did post a bunch of ideas sprinkled throughout the videos of things good for eBay. I will try picking those things up next time and seeing how they sell on ebay
Had some luck with few DVDs I found at my local Dollar trees but the issue is we get them very sporadically. They don't just have and endcap or section specifically for DVDs.
I have actually never seen DVDs at my local Dollar Tree. This is the first time, so maybe yours will get them now.
@@ThriftSchool hope so. They usually have them in bin up front. Like a "while supplies last" thing.
Same some for other people smh
How to get ungated in dvd
At 2:23 was the 9.99 offer FBM and the 14.97 offer FBA?
I don’t wanna be that guy but if you can please donate some of those Elmo dvds to kids in need I’m sure they’ll appreciate them
We're any of these brand items or DVDs gated when you first started?
Do you send everything to the Amazon or ship it your self please answer this question
That Dolphins jacket was sweet man! Phins up!! Playoffs? Maybe 👀 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Im praying for a playoff spot Please!!!!
Do you ship the movies in to Amazon? or do you do FBM? Can you sell them on Ebay?
People... Still buy DVD and Blu-Rays? I've been passing those buy like crazy
Do you sell the new DVD's and media as new, even if purchased from the Dollar store?
Impossible to get approval to sell anything on Amazon
Its hard but not impossible. Lots of videos out there on how to get ungated. I was actually gated in DVDs until just a couple of years ago. I was also gated in Grocery and lots of brands that I have been getting ungated in. It can be worth it to give it a shot.
I would be surprised if you made any money on most of those DVDs.
do you consider the rank on Amazon? otherwise it will be sitting in your inventory until it sells or if it sells.
Yes of course. I try to make sure the ranks per category are accounted for, for each item.
This is a cool video.
How long have you been doing retail arbitrage?
At least 5 years
Hate scanners
Shadow dancer is like 5 on eBay new
Anyone have any recommendations for getting ungated in the dvd category for Amazon? Also do you have to get ungated for each studio or just all DVDs? Thanks
Were you able to sell all of the dvds fairly fast?
also is there a cheap way to gert ungated on dvds? ive heard whoilesalers like aent are asking for a $1000 min order to get ungated... truth or lies?
Yeah it costed me over $1000 as well. Plus lots of time.
im getting allot of crap from other sellers in forums about selling books from dollar tree as new.. anyone else have this issue? i want to list as new and have but people are saying that amazon will disable my account as the publishers consider these liqidated or salvage... are thes people just haters or is there any merit to this?
There is some merit to that. Theres always risk invloved with everything. I personally know someone who had their account suspended for a bit reselling Brand New items from a wholesaler. So it seems like it can happen either way
I went by my two local Dollar Tree's today to look for DVD's. They both had some, most not worth that much but found a few and had one question for you. Most of them did not have the original white security seal you find on the top edge of the case and almost looked like some might have been resealed with plastic. Do you think Dollar Tree is selling resealed DVD's and do you still pick those up if they don't have the original white security seal on the case?
If it looks resealed I would not mess with it. A good way to tell would be to check ebay as well. I actually just sold a sealed Nintedo DS game that had a "resealed" look to it, but it was how the game was actually packaged. Another way to check would be to go on TH-cam and type in the name of the movie/game and type in "unboxing" afterwards and youll be able to see how it was shipped off by the manufacturer.
@@ThriftSchool Thanks for the tips.
1.25 now
Can i ask do you have to pack these items before you send them to amazon? or is that what the fees are for?
Thats what the fees are for
rip crocodile hunter
How do I get approved to sell DVDs 😭😩
Is there a minimum amount on what you send to amazon for fba?
nope. But the more you send in the cheaper shipping will be per item.
Cooooool tips!! 😎😎😎
Thank You!!!!
Interesting concept. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
thanks :)
At one dollar I would of bought all of the DVDs chances are they are worth more than 1 dollar
this is true. most are worth more than $1 if you had a flea market booth or something similar you could charge $2 and easily double your money on everything
Adult coloring books 👍
Address?
What an informative strategies ♥♥ ♥♥ 8:34
Thank You! I always try to throw in some helpful nuggets of knowledge in every video :)
Jesus loves you
facts
the prices after this video : 📉
I dont think so. Im pretty sure most dollar trees around the country have slightly different inventory.
Lmao what does tye cashier tell you when you buy these?
Go Dolphins
Phins up
👍
what percentage of your FBA items never sell? How long will amazon keep it in a warehouse?
Amazon will basically keep it in the warehouse indefinitely, but they will charge you fees on how long it sits. I deff have stuff that sits forever that I end up trashing. Maybe 5% give or take
you forgot yugioh man whats your problem
lol. I havent thought about Yugioh in so long
Lets go 💪
ballin
:D
:)
Nobody is buying those trash dvds
Luckily ive already sold more than half of them.
If you did a little more research and less thrifting you would take that mask off. MK Ultra is a terrible thing. Look it up.
Its pretty much required in most stores in CT
Wallieb26 been looking for those bob ross puzzles for a min now lol
Wow this is really on time THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE ♥♥ ♥♥ 8:69
Thank you for watching !
Do you have to pay shipping too?
