Why are DVDs and CDs the Best Items to Sell on Ebay?  email this discussion to a friend?

teamcaptainc1475 (22) 2 years ago

OK, here is why DVDs and CDs are the best items to
sell on Ebay.

1. They don't have expiration dates like medicines or other items

2. You can buy them cheap at garage sales, swap meets, thrifty stores,
and if you live in California, Arizona and Nevada, you have
access to 99Cents Only Store, where they have a good selection
of brand new DVDs for just 99cents. You can even buy them from
other Ebay sellers who are selling DVDs wholesale.


3. You can buy them as cheap as $1.00 a piece and sell them
for as much as $10.00 each. How do you know how much to price
them?? All you need to do is type in the name of the DVD or CD
and see how many people are selling the same item. How much
are they asking for? How much are they charging for shipping
and handling? What kind of feedback do they have?
Considering all those questions you can decide how much to ask for
your DVD or CD. If There's only 4 or 5 people selling the same
item, chances are it is safe for you to ask a little bit more
than the other sellers. Their items will sell quickly, and yes
you have to wait a few days longer, but you got the price you
want.

4. Even with DVD rental stores and even with the Automatic Red Box
that rent out DVDs for just $1.00 a day, there are still many
people buying DVDs because they cannot find them anywhere else.

5. Here is another good reason why DVDs. I used to imagine spending
money going to a DVD store rental shop and renting 2 or 4 movies,...
with my current inventory of close to 800 DVDs available for me to watch,
it is sort of a dream come true. I watch the movies that I want and
make money from them. If there is a movie that I really want to
watch, I'll do a search for the title in Ebay and see who has them
available. If they are on auction, I wait until the last minute before
I make a bid. I usually get them at the price I want to buy them.
And after watching them, I list it for sale for as much as I paid for or
if there is a short supply ---then I raise my price up to double
what I paid for.

OK, that is all for this post. But like I said, I want to help you
if you have any questions about selling on ebay. You can ask me to
be your "friend" and as soon as we are friends we can communicate through
PM (private messaging)

I hope you understand what I mean be becoming
a friend. To request to be my friend, you need to click on my username
and you will be taken to my profile page where you will see a link
requesting to be my friend. After I approve you as my friend, we can
communicate directly with each other by sending private messages (PM)

I sell records and VHS tapes on ebay because when you find a rare movie or record what you are selling is the chance to get something special. Sure, you can buy some other item at a garage sale or second hand store for a dollar, but a good seller offers something extra.

Thanks for the discussion...

I also have VHS tapes on my Inventory, but I don't
list much of the VHS tapes because there are not too
many people buying VHS tapes anymore. Most everybody
don't want to use VHS anymore.

The other reason I don't want to sell VHS is they are
a lot heavier than DVDs and they are more expensive to
ship. And if you charge the buyers a little bit more
than what you are charging for shipping and handling
DVDs then they don't buy. I think I have about 50 or
more VHS tapes listed in my Store inventory but they are
not moving....and when they move...I have to pay more
for the shipping and handling that I don't really make
any money with them.

I think I will end all of my VHS tapes listings so that I
don't get charged everymonth of for each one of them.

I wish I could sell bootleg dvd's on ebay. I would then buy them wholesale to resell. I know a guy who drives from Va to ny to get his dvd's to resell there. I never thought about selling these before. I will now have to check my wholesaler for this info. Thanks

No, no, no. You cannot sell BOOTLEG, or illegally copied DVDs
or CDs on Ebay. I was not talking about bootleg when I mentioned
that you can buy them for $1.00 each.

I'm talking about "used" DVDs and, yes even "new" DVDs
that you can buy for only 99cents at the 99Cents Only stores.
(99Cents Only Stores have close to 400 Stores in different
locations in California, Arizona and Nevada)

Ebay will cancel/close your account for Selling bootleg DVDs!!
Your buyers will report you to Ebay and Ebay will close your
account.

Yes, there are brand new DVDs from EastWest DVD.com that are
manufactured in Taiwan or China but they are NOT bootleg,
the manufacturer have a license to create DVDs of older films.
The DVDs from EastWest DVDs are usually 2 Movies in 1 Disc.

It's true, you can make some money from it.

My best bargain were brand new DVDs with all episodes of Stargate - the tv series - just a few months ago. One DVD was sold for €2, that's less than $3. As the tv series is still up to date, I sold each of them for at least €10 rofl


teamcaptainc1475 (22)  2 years ago

Yes, TV Series with complete episodes are selling good
in ebay. I was checking one of David Carradine's TV
series "Kung-Fu" and the lowest price for a complete
season 1 series is over $20.00 and a COMPLETE series
of all 3 Series (Season 1,2,3 with about 11 or 12 DVDs
cost about $80.00 plus shipping and handling)

Yes, you can get some great DVDs from second hand stores,
from garage sales, from thrift shops and list them on Ebay.
They need to be in good condition or you will get a negative
feedback that will affect your sales.

I do everything I can to maintain my 100% POSITIVE feedback!
Buyers look at your feedback and what other buyers are saying
about you...before they consider buying what you are selling.
You've got to have a great reputation or you will not be able
to get buyers/
