So You Want to Sell DVDs on eBay?
A Guide to Buying DVDs for eBay Resale
Selling DVDs on eBay is a popular venture, though it’s undoubtedly a competitive market. If you’re interested in getting started, you might wonder where successful sellers source their stock. Is it through drop-shipping or wholesale outlets? Perhaps. However, unless you have the space to store bulk purchases, these options might not be ideal. Also, beware of purchasing wholesaler lists from eBay?"they often contain outdated or irrelevant information. Fortunately, there are many other ways to source DVDs for sale. Here’s how you can get started:
Key Considerations:
1. Bargain Hunters Flock to eBay: Shoppers often believe eBay offers the best deals, but that’s not always the case.2. Higher RRP Equals Better Profit: Items with a higher recommended retail price tend to yield better margins.
New sellers soon discover that profit margins can be slim. Making £1 per DVD may seem reasonable, but selling 100 DVDs monthly to make £100 isn’t easy. Many will sell for less profit or none at all. Remember, eBay fees cut into profits?"listing, selling, and PayPal fees all add up. The “Watch this item” feature complicates things further, allowing last-minute bidding frenzies that can drive prices down.
To maximize profits, avoid the latest Region 2 blockbusters as competition is high. Instead, focus on:
- Box Sets
- Limited Editions
- Deleted or Imported DVDs
These tend to have higher perceived value due to their rarity or uniqueness. But where should you buy them? Here are some strategies:
Strategies for Sourcing DVDs:
1. Price Comparison Sites:
Search online for price comparison sites. These tools help you find the best deals from major retailers. Some allow you to set a target price for a particular DVD, sending you alerts when it’s available at your desired price. This saves you time and effort in hunting down bargains.
2. Community Forums:
Forums are treasure troves for bargain hunters. Run by like-minded individuals, these communities share tips on legitimate discounts or mispricing errors by retailers. Many forums also have classified sections where rare or limited edition DVDs can be found at discounted prices.
3. Second-Hand Markets:
Though I advised against focusing on recent blockbusters, forum classifieds can be gold mines for rare finds and limited editions, often at low prices. Sellers might not realize the true value of what they’re offering.
4. Ex-Rental DVDs:
Sometimes DVDs are first available as rentals before being sold in stores. Check your local DVD shop’s ex-rental bin for rare finds at nice prices. Label them as "RARE" or "Not available in shops" on eBay to attract buyers, but make sure to inform customers that the DVD isn’t new.
Wrapping Up
These strategies can help you source DVDs at competitive prices, increasing your chances of success. Best of luck in your eBay selling endeavors!
