I respect ANYONE working hard to make a buck, whether it’s selling cars, houses, appliances, dvds or even out collecting aluminum cans off the street. It work and it’s better than mooching off others or the government
Most of the people who comment that you are wasting your time are also posting on some resale forum how eBay is dead and they barely have any sales. Not everything can be a home run, but singles and doubles turn into points as well!
Since you're getting into DVDs more, here is a tip: look for National Geographic DVDs. A lot of them aren't worth anything, but there are some out there that can fetch $15-$25 or more. The best part is they all have yellow spines, so they're easy to spot.
Yeah my dude, you shouldn’t feel the need to justify your business model but unfortunately this is TH-cam where everyone knows what’s best for you! Hahah
The dvds are so worth it, and I have really been enjoying the updates on this huge lot, and the breakdown on how you're listing, tracking and shipping. Please keep these updates coming, truly feel like we are getting thrift schooled!
I like when people who are doing nothing try to tell you something you sold wasnt worth it. If its between doing nothing for 5 minutes or listing a dvd you make $3 on in 5 minutes wouldnt you rather gain money than pick your nose n criticise others for $0? Of course if you are making $30 an hour doing something else every minute of the day then yea its not worth it but if its between going to Walmart and staring at people for 0 or doing a 5 min listing to make $3 ill take the 3. I just hate how people act like doing nothing is better than making any amount of money.
Sometimes doing nothing is better than making money. Ddpends how much you make when you make it Nd how much you vLue money. Personly id rather have my time over a dew dollars as more money is printed everyday, but noone is makin more time
I don't know about where you live, but many cities have buy/sell/trade stores for media and books. If you have a place like that, you could cash the DVDs in, or get store credit that's higher than the cash back and get items that are better sellers or something for yourself.
I love it when someone makes money in a way that most people would turn down. This is how I make my money; selling stuff that most people considers dead. Personally, I've made a few thousand selling audio cassettes, mostly underground music home releases from the 90s and 80s.
Couldn't agree more. I've now sold two sets of Friends Seasons 1-10 DVDs for $35+ in profit. That's where the arbitrage is - you find such great stuff from people who don't think it's worth it. Shoot I hope more and more people think that way I'll scoop 'em up and put in the hustle for the extra cash and fun along the way!
DVDs are DEFINITELY worth it if you can find the rare OOP ones that are not available in any other form of media. I've sold the combined 1st & 2nd seasons of The Most Extreme Elimination Challenge for $75 and just one volume of War and Remembrance for $65 (it's a 2 volume set). You've just got to know what to look for - usually it's the bizarre and unusual things that you've never heard of before. Volume 10 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (with Godzilla on the cover) is worth WELL over $100. Also, it's usually at least worth it to look stuff up if it's still sealed. Sealed Season 6 of Lost can still sell for $30, and sealed Season 6 of Nip/Tuck can still get you $20 even though you might think these shows are widely popular and likely worthless. Moonlighting TV seasons are ones that should ALWAYS be an automatic buy if the price is right. And even some super rare Godzilla single DVD movies can sell well into the hundreds.
Love this buy. Was jealous when you vlogged about it. The same day, I made a purchase of around 800 rock cds for $75. I am well into the profit zone already too. Keep it up!
One of our favorite scores ever was at a Hospice thrift of heavy metal/death metal etc. Cd's in mint condition. We got hundreds I can't recall what we spent but we made a deal with them cause we were buying so many. Then we sold a couple right out the gate that paid for them all by the 3rd/4th we were WELL into profit. We have sold most (this was like a year ago) we have like 30 left from that buy that are listed that weren't the metal but just weird ones we hadn't heard of personally like "Boards of Canada" sold most of those no clue who they are lol but think there's some left. Come to think of it I think we still have probably about 20 roaming around that still need to be listed lol. ANYWAYS point being large media lots make up pretty much all my favorite bulk buys. That CD bulk buy, then a yard sale where we got hundreds of DVD movies for less than 25 cents each all in like new condition with their sleeves and all (on ones that had them) inserts etc. My son's super hero DVD collection literally was made at that yard sale and Ive made lots like "vacation themed horror lot" "alien themed sci fi" and specific lots like that they sold pretty good that way. Then I once filled my entire car barely had room to sit and drive FULL of books from a church sale that paid like $5 for ALL of them. I had to shove them in all over my car. That was many years ago and was selling books on Amazon. Had book shelves in alphabetical order in garage lol. Just 1 kids origami like 5 pages in book part of a set and it sold for like $70something so JUST THAT BOOK BOOM got the 5bucks back and way into profit. Ok ok rambling again lol But bulk media can make some nice profits 😃
Great purchase, DVD series are a very worthwhile venture and easy sales. I know you have used decluttr in the past to get rid of the not so good stuff. Have you ever tried secondspin?
Yeah, anyone who would tell you not to sell DVDs doesn't know what they're talking about. Some of them go for $10 or more on their own, and they're super cheap to ship, so you can literally just put it up in minutes and make money, spend next to nothing to ship it, and make a lot of money over investment. If they won't sell for much on their own, you can always lot them up and sell them for anywhere from $1-$3 a piece depending on how you do the lots. It helps if you know a lot about physical media, but I don't think it would take much time to learn about it, so it's not like the time investment is significant, either.
Oh, wow, another item I ignored because I thought there was no money in it. And something that sells quick! That’s what I’m talking about. I’d rather make a few dollars profit in a few days on 10 DVDs than wait six weeks for a $20 profit on a pair of shoes. Nice, thank you for sharing.
I just want to say thank you. I am 4 video's in and your stuff is much more informative and realistic to what is possible. I am wanting to also become a reseller full time. I already do it part time but, not nearly in the depth of you or others that are commenting. I want to make the move to full time just scared. I don't make much money at my IT job but, I do pretty good. Your video's help show that you will not get rich but, if you work hard you can def. make a living at it. Thank you for your very informative information and not for a blown up resellers course or something. You are doing a great job keep them coming.
The ones that say its not worth it make no money on ebay! I make more smaller sales on this line of stuff than Too dollar items! Sell 1 item for 100 or 10 for 100 or more. Dvds and boxsets are great when you can get them for pennies on the dollar but it works!
Selling dvds may not be a big profit, but it all adds up in the end. I sold my first dvd today and I'm totally excited about it! btw, you got yourself a new sub!
I love your videos! You totally inspired me to start my own TH-cam Chanel sharing some of the rare things I’m finding at fleamarkets and stuff. Just wanted to say thanks for inspiring! Please keep the great vids coming!!
You are a nice guy, hard worker and trying to do a good service with your vids, but you have to factor in time and any overhead such as ebay store and that final thirty cents you mentioned. Gas to the post office, mailers for the multi discs. So average how much time to sort, check quality, take pics, write description, post. Then figure out how much you are making per hour to see if it is worth it. Keep working hard, just make sure you calculate appropriately. Don't forget business overhead, taxes, accountant possibly, storage shed. You might invest in some good project management software to help you.
But if your already selling online and already have supplies, already have storage space, it was on his way so no extra gas, only thing I see is time listing and packing... which they are quick lists, and easy to ship. Your already shipping your other stuff takes only seconds to pop disks into a mailer. I can see where this would not be a great business model if your starting up and going to just do these but adding them to an already ongoing business I think is smart, on ebay whenever I add more to my store the activity gets everything going better , and these are great feedback boosters too As somebody else mentioned in comments. I have listed cds dvds etc. They are so simple to add in that I know it's worth it to me. Like I might not feel like setting all up in evening to really work on listings but I can easy throw up 10 music cds or DVD movies while watching tv. That's making money I wouldn't have otherwise made as I just am relaxing doing minimal work in relaxing time. So every few bucks I make is bonus :)
I remember one yard sale where this lady just said take all the movies because she was gonna donate everything and I was surprised how fast movies moved, I also don't recommend using media mail many of my packages have been lost
Great videos. How do you test them? I come across media all the time for free, but I just dont even bother with them u just throw them out when I see few scratches.
I have a ton of DVD’s that I handpicked new in shrink wrap from thrift stores $1-2 each and some sold and many are just sitting there in my EBay store. Taking up space :(
So basically it paid for itself in a day or so and all the rest are profit? Even if only half sell I see a good profit. Thanks for the info, people are always selling boxes of dvds at yard sales here. Even if I just bundled five DVD’s for a decent price I see a good deal there, what’s your opinion
Im only 12 but im truly fascinated at your job. This is the type of side job i want during the summer! Youre doing great and you have taught me a lot already!
Im just trying to get rid of my 7 jackets/blazers. What is the best way to post them on ebay? How muvh does ebay charge? Any tips or advise from experiemced ebay sellers? Thanks!
Jonathan Schmidt I signed up a few months ago and started with a five item selling limit. You list your 5 items first and then call customer service and they will do an interview to make sure you are who you say you are (they confirm public records only you would know). Then they will increase your limits probably to 100. From there, you will get automatic increases when you get sales and your listings grow. You don’t have to have a store to get selling limit increases. My limits didn’t increase when I got a basic store, but they did each time I got a lot of sales real close together and shipped them out on time. They care the most about sales. Your sales make them money, so they increase your selling limits when you do a good job with what you have already been given.
Not sure if people still buy dvd or if it's worth the time considering how blockbuster ran out of business many years ago, also considering the fact how many people can pirate movies online as well.
Post office told me I could not use media mail for movies or CD it's only for students educational movies or cd or books. I had to get another shipping label
with declutter do you need to have the cd, DVD case? for books do they take books that have been really used e.g. book cover torn or with tea spills etc.
I sell a lot of used dvds and take pictures of front, back, inside and even closeup of words on back. I wrap videos in bubble wrap and put in tyvek envelope I got cheap off a ebay seller.
Thought you are doing well with your earnings. Question: Do you need to test to make sure all of the DVD's are working properly before you list and sell?
So, you offer free shipping on all your dvds? Could you charge shipping to cover some of your fees or do you choose free shipping to compete with others for the lowest posted price? It just wouldn't seem worth it to list a dvd at $3.99 with free shipping to undercut another seller with same dvd listed at $4.00 with free shipping. Lotta work for little return. Or do you not list those dvds if you cant make a return of a buck or two? Just wondering. I did pretty well selling dvds at $2 ea. at a local convention. Not worth listing on Ebay, but good for the convention or garage sale. No fees, no shipping. Straight up profit.
I’ve found great suppliers that I’ve been working with. I really like the fact that suppliers are already pre-screened and I don’t have to go through the run around of figuring out if these people are legitimate. And there’s the forum so if I ever get stuck, I can always talk to someone.visit *MyOnlineSelling. Com* for more info
How do you stay motavated when ppl around you are so negative to selling. I have a death pile but i cant seem to get a working system to organize, sort through, research & list having no help or negative downfalls with every step i take to selling. Ebays no help i still wonder why im paying much more on fees with a store rather then when i had no store. Every time i list something Ebay charges me a list fee gets ridiculous to keep calling to revert the charge when im already paying a monthly fee. Any motivational videos that you can come up with would really be helpful.
Small things add up over time, keep hustling and grinding you will make money! Forget the negative people better for us their is more out there to get! REMEMBER HATERS WILL ALWAYS HATE! tip: be on the look out for Horror obscure VHS tapes they also do great!
People talk about gas all the time in reselling . No matter what job you have ( unless you work from home) you will have a drive and some have and hour or more each way and you don’t hear people saying well I make X amount at the factory but I spend this much in gas...
Hey TS, Noah here from Waller, TX. Great vid Man. I just started to do the same as you and i think it is well worth it. you have already made a profit after expenses, so keep it up. SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!! LOL
Let the haters hate my man. I sell tons of DVDs and even VHS. I bought about 1800 DVDs/Blu Rays for $200. I actually used the Decluttr app to separate them. If Decluttr is paying anything it goes in a pile. 25 cents or more a different pile. $1 another. $2 and up another. Sealed DVDs/BRs another. Then I sold the $1-2 DVDs individually. The 25-50 Cents ones in packs of 5-10 for $15-30. Then the ones getting a nickel sold in boxes of 20 for $30. That leaves the ones Decluttr didn't want. I sell those in packs of 20 for $20. From 11 Blu Rays I made my initial $200 back. What's crazier is I pick up VHS for absolutely nothing so often. I'll lot them in packs of 5 and sell for $12 shipped. Sometimes individual titles will sell for $10-50 before. The people who say it's not worth it are the ones who probably aren't very good at listing to start with. I'll always buy bulk media. Always. Keep it up. If you sell games, I actually am launching a video game exclusively marketplace. Think eBay but a fraction of fees and all gamers so stuff is taken care of. Check out gokandogames dot com if you want to see it. The renovation of the marketplace is currently being done but in 2 weeks it'll be back up. Hoping you grace us with your games my man.
Buying in bulk is worth it. You should check out second spin, they can offer more than decluttr, or take them to a dvd/video game store. I am able to sell video games with media mail, but maybe certain states don't allow you to. Love your vids, you give great tips

DVDs a great feedback boosters. I always buy DVDs and I sell prolly 4 or 5 DVDs a day
That's a great point. 😃
hi, how do u know their not scratched? thankyou
I don't know about where you live, but many cities have buy/sell/trade stores for media and books. If you have a place like that, you could cash the DVDs in, or get store credit that's higher than the cash back and get items that are better sellers or something for yourself.
...and they hardly pay shit.
I agree it's worth selling dvds. Like you said it's easy to ship them, and you are making money, not losing any money.
Don’t worry about what others say you are a hustler and doing what works for you.
Great vid man. I’m wishing everyone who’s reading this a profitable eBay week! We got this!
Thanks man! We do got this!
💯💯
Thanks @Noah I am having a profitable week! 😊
Don't worry about the haters your doing great making money they are just jealous

Shoot I hope more and more people think that way I'll scoop 'em up and put in the hustle for the extra cash and fun along the way!
DVDs are DEFINITELY worth it if you can find the rare OOP ones that are not available in any other form of media. I've sold the combined 1st & 2nd seasons of The Most Extreme Elimination Challenge for $75 and just one volume of War and Remembrance for $65 (it's a 2 volume set). You've just got to know what to look for - usually it's the bizarre and unusual things that you've never heard of before.

You're making a profit, what's not to like? :)
Love this buy. Was jealous when you vlogged about it. The same day, I made a purchase of around 800 rock cds for $75. I am well into the profit zone already too. Keep it up!
Ohh great score. But I think I'd keep more than I sold lol
One of our favorite scores ever was at a Hospice thrift of heavy metal/death metal etc. Cd's in mint condition. We got hundreds I can't recall what we spent but we made a deal with them cause we were buying so many. Then we sold a couple right out the gate that paid for them all by the 3rd/4th we were WELL into profit. We have sold most (this was like a year ago) we have like 30 left from that buy that are listed that weren't the metal but just weird ones we hadn't heard of personally like "Boards of Canada" sold most of those no clue who they are lol but think there's some left.

Just 1 kids origami like 5 pages in book part of a set and it sold for like $70something so JUST THAT BOOK BOOM got the 5bucks back and way into profit.
Ok ok rambling again lol

If you get the larger size bubble mailer and cut it in half you can ship 2 dvd's with one mailer
Thank you ThriftSchool!! Just ordered my 100 padded envelopes! Cost me $1.76 after ebay coupon!
I just want to say thank you. I am 4 video's in and your stuff is much more informative and realistic to what is possible. I am wanting to also become a reseller full time. I already do it part time but, not nearly in the depth of you or others that are commenting. I want to make the move to full time just scared.

Thank you for your very informative information and not for a blown up resellers course or something. You are doing a great job keep them coming.
How many hours of your time did you invest to get the $374?
I even question some of the niches I go after ( like CD's on Amazon) but this is a high energy video with a good argument . rock on
The ones that say its not worth it make no money on ebay! I make more smaller sales on this line of stuff than Too dollar items! Sell 1 item for 100 or 10 for 100 or more. Dvds and boxsets are great when you can get them for pennies on the dollar but it works!
Great job. Seems full seasons are where the good money is at for DVDs I'm definitely gonna be looking for those when sourcing.
Selling dvds may not be a big profit, but it all adds up in the end. I sold my first dvd today and I'm totally excited about it! btw, you got yourself a new sub!
Does it depend wat kinda DVDs?
I just sell random DVDs, but I'm sure series and special editions sell well.
I love your videos! You totally inspired me to start my own TH-cam Chanel sharing some of the rare things I’m finding at fleamarkets and stuff. Just wanted to say thanks for inspiring! Please keep the great vids coming!!
dingo588 that sounds like a fun idea :)
Lol harder than it looks right?
Def agree. I love thrift schools videos! Could benge them for hours
What kinds of things do you look for?
Good luck
The smaller price point dvds that are similar in genre/actor/franchise do well for me when I bundle them together.
You are a nice guy, hard worker and trying to do a good service with your vids, but you have to factor in time and any overhead such as ebay store and that final thirty cents you mentioned. Gas to the post office, mailers for the multi discs. So average how much time to sort, check quality, take pics, write description, post. Then figure out how much you are making per hour to see if it is worth it. Keep working hard, just make sure you calculate appropriately. Don't forget business overhead, taxes, accountant possibly, storage shed. You might invest in some good project management software to help you.
Plus shipping supplies
Tape, tape gun, boxes, bubble wrap, mailers, paper, labels, label machine, toner, box cutters etc.
But if your already selling online and already have supplies, already have storage space, it was on his way so no extra gas, only thing I see is time listing and packing... which they are quick lists, and easy to ship. Your already shipping your other stuff takes only seconds to pop disks into a mailer.

What size mailer do you use for shipping DVDs? Thanks!
I remember one yard sale where this lady just said take all the movies because she was gonna donate everything and I was surprised how fast movies moved, I also don't recommend using media mail many of my packages have been lost
Great videos. How do you test them? I come across media all the time for free, but I just dont even bother with them u just throw them out when I see few scratches.
How are you using media mail?? Dvds are no longer acceptable media mail. The usps took dvds with the exception of educational dvds
Goodwill Donation for the DVD's you have left over. Get a receipt and use it as a tax write off at tax time.
Great video! Don't you charge the buyer the shipping fee? What size of poly bubble mailer is that? Thanks!
I have a ton of DVD’s that I handpicked new in shrink wrap from thrift stores $1-2 each and some sold and many are just sitting there in my EBay store. Taking up space :(
Let me know how many DVDs/Blu-rays you have left that you're having trouble getting rid of, I'm interested.
I think the 15% should come out of the sales total not sales - ship total right?
So basically it paid for itself in a day or so and all the rest are profit? Even if only half sell I see a good profit. Thanks for the info, people are always selling boxes of dvds at yard sales here. Even if I just bundled five DVD’s for a decent price I see a good deal there, what’s your opinion
Im only 12 but im truly fascinated at your job. This is the type of side job i want during the summer! Youre doing great and you have taught me a lot already!
How much money do you make a month from your online stores??
Im just trying to get rid of my 7 jackets/blazers. What is the best way to post them on ebay? How muvh does ebay charge? Any tips or advise from experiemced ebay sellers? Thanks!
Good job. Im working on doing the same. Bought a few lots and will see how well i do. First thing first... get them uploaded to the ebay.
Did u have a limit when you first started selling on eBay
yes I did, but I eventually purchased a store subscription and now I believe its 1 or 2000 listings per month for free or something like that.
Jonathan Schmidt I signed up a few months ago and started with a five item selling limit. You list your 5 items first and then call customer service and they will do an interview to make sure you are who you say you are (they confirm public records only you would know). Then they will increase your limits probably to 100. From there, you will get automatic increases when you get sales and your listings grow.

Your sales make them money, so they increase your selling limits when you do a good job with what you have already been given.
Do you put a "Fragile" sticker on the DVD bubble mailers?
This goes to show, that you know what you are doing. Great job. Loved the video.
Thank you! Just trying to show people how its done! Lots of hard work = lots of money.
Not sure if people still buy dvd or if it's worth the time considering how blockbuster ran out of business many years ago, also considering the fact how many people can pirate movies online as well.
Post office told me I could not use media mail for movies or CD it's only for students educational movies or cd or books. I had to get another shipping label
damien villarreal That’s not true at all! Media mail is for books, CDs, vinyl, and movies!
Dollar Tree sells bubble wrap mailers two a pack. Small, and medium. That's .50 cents. Each.
The larger ones for shirts, or pants are $1.00 a piece.
Is your Bubble mailer withe DVD inside classified as large envelope or package? I’m new to this reselling business. Thank you.
with declutter do you need to have the cd, DVD case? for books do they take books that have been really used e.g. book cover torn or with tea spills etc.
I sell a lot of used dvds and take pictures of front, back, inside and even closeup of words on back. I wrap videos in bubble wrap and put in tyvek envelope I got cheap off a ebay seller.
I just came across your channel. Thank you for taking the time to share this information. You are fun to watch and informative.
10$ for the last two twilights all day. thats my main seller
Thought you are doing well with your earnings. Question: Do you need to test to make sure all of the DVD's are working properly before you list and sell?
So, you offer free shipping on all your dvds? Could you charge shipping to cover some of your fees or do you choose free shipping to compete with others for the lowest posted price? It just wouldn't seem worth it to list a dvd at $3.99 with free shipping to undercut another seller with same dvd listed at $4.00 with free shipping. Lotta work for little return. Or do you not list those dvds if you cant make a return of a buck or two? Just wondering. I did pretty well selling dvds at $2 ea. at a local convention. Not worth listing on Ebay, but good for the convention or garage sale. No fees, no shipping. Straight up profit.
Remember to only deduct the original purchase price once. More profit later
Its profit! Nice! Do you just scan the UPC to populate the description?
Jesse, how many unwanted blue ray dvd's do you want to get rid of?
About 5-600
Great too see another stream I could look for when selling is it better then to look for box sets then compared to single dvds?
Thanks for reminding me about the eBay supplies credit for my store. I ordered some of those mailers myself.
I’ve found great suppliers that I’ve been working with. I really like the fact that suppliers are already pre-screened and I don’t have to go through the run around of figuring out if these people are legitimate. And there’s the forum so if I ever get stuck, I can always talk to someone.visit *MyOnlineSelling. Com* for more info
How do you handle making sure they actually work
2:40 without tracking ?
Have you ever done audio books?
Sounds good to me. Plus, all of your expenses (gas, shipping material, etc.) are tax-deductible business expenses anyway.
How many hours (including going to post office) total do you have invested to make $350?
I have a question. I’m a huge fan of your channel, and I’m wondering where and what bubble mailers should I get.
How much you going to sale the true blood seasons been wanting them but they cost to much
How do you get that credit from eBay or did this change since last year ? I got 100 rating
Nice video and totally worth your time at that price point. Are you using the 6.5" x 9.25" eBay bubble mailers?
How do you stay motavated when ppl around you are so negative to selling. I have a death pile but i cant seem to get a working system to organize, sort through, research & list having no help or negative downfalls with every step i take to selling. Ebays no help i still wonder why im paying much more on fees with a store rather then when i had no store. Every time i list something Ebay charges me a list fee gets ridiculous to keep calling to revert the charge when im already paying a monthly fee. Any motivational videos that you can come up with would really be helpful.
With eBay store, do you still get the .35 cents posting fees after 50 posts a month? Or do you think you save more becoming a store?
Hey do you know if the Amazon seller app for individuals is as good as the one for professionals?
Small things add up over time, keep hustling and grinding you will make money! Forget the negative people better for us their is more out there to get! REMEMBER HATERS WILL ALWAYS HATE!
tip: be on the look out for Horror obscure VHS tapes they also do great!
I sell at flea markets. Do you still have the other DVD'S?
I've got about 800 lol
When you ship DVD's do they come with tracking or without it?
I bought over 600 dvds for $30. I have about 150 listed and so far my sales from them is over $800 with my net profit over $500
Wat kinda DVDs do u sell?
I love selling DVDs and Box Sets on eBay. Don't listen to the haters!
What about state and federal income taxes?
People talk about gas all the time in reselling . No matter what job you have ( unless you work from home) you will have a drive and some have and hour or more each way and you don’t hear people saying well I make X amount at the factory but I spend this much in gas...
I can't believe you drive all the way down to Westport. Do you take 7 pretty much the entire way down?
Consistent listing is everything! ❤️ no matter what we’re selling. List it, it WILL SELL
so true! Just keep listing!
Hey TS, Noah here from Waller, TX. Great vid Man. I just started to do the same as you and i think it is well worth it. you have already made a profit after expenses, so keep it up.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!! LOL
Why do you pay the shipping on most of your items? Other sellers hardly pay it themselves.
What about VHS? Is there a small market?
Yes very small markey
Let the haters hate my man. I sell tons of DVDs and even VHS.
I bought about 1800 DVDs/Blu Rays for $200. I actually used the Decluttr app to separate them. If Decluttr is paying anything it goes in a pile. 25 cents or more a different pile. $1 another. $2 and up another. Sealed DVDs/BRs another. Then I sold the $1-2 DVDs individually. The 25-50 Cents ones in packs of 5-10 for $15-30. Then the ones getting a nickel sold in boxes of 20 for $30. That leaves the ones Decluttr didn't want. I sell those in packs of 20 for $20. From 11 Blu Rays I made my initial $200 back.
What's crazier is I pick up VHS for absolutely nothing so often. I'll lot them in packs of 5 and sell for $12 shipped. Sometimes individual titles will sell for $10-50 before. The people who say it's not worth it are the ones who probably aren't very good at listing to start with.
I'll always buy bulk media. Always. Keep it up.
If you sell games, I actually am launching a video game exclusively marketplace. Think eBay but a fraction of fees and all gamers so stuff is taken care of. Check out gokandogames dot com if you want to see it. The renovation of the marketplace is currently being done but in 2 weeks it'll be back up. Hoping you grace us with your games my man.
Do you do free ship media mail or do you let the buyer pay shipping ?
Is your $372 profit on just your 4 days of selling or the total of everything you have listed? I’m confused...
Hey i am doing the same thing but I was thinking I bet prices rise more or will be bought more after summer is gone.
I am stocking up and am thinking the same thing. Or at least more traffic.
Do you use a scanning app?
Great detailed video crushing the DVDs.
The post office has crushed a few cases of mine also and even managed to break the discs. True story!
What exactly does ebay charge a seller???
Buying in bulk is worth it. You should check out second spin, they can offer more than decluttr, or take them to a dvd/video game store. I am able to sell video games with media mail, but maybe certain states don't allow you to. Love your vids, you give great tips
Buyer pays shipping or seller?
How do you know people will buy it
how much is an ebay store?
Yeah I found like 8 seasons of brand new south park dvd sets, 3 bucks each, looked on eBay, comps are 5 bucks each lmao.
Box sets sell great when You lot them up right.
You could just stick them in a regular mailbox and pay NO shipping fee!
