Doing well with DVDs thanks to your advice while I was building up stock. My best sale last week was $80 for two seasons of the little hobo that I paid $1.50. All my highest listings are for ghost hunting series. 👻 I've done well on the obscure titles & my only other tip would be that Christian DVDs for kids & adults sell well. Three dvds in tomorrow's post. Just hit $5k for 80 days & 500 listings. And got a new accounting job. Chaos!
Unbelievable update Tracee! Congrats the hard work is paying off! Keep at it!
Congrats :)
Thanks for that tip, I have some Christian dvds. Angel Wars I think, cartoon series.
Are you in America? Any advice for a brand new seller? I made an account, gonna start with DVDs, as they seem like a good intro to eBay selling item. And I have plenty to start listing.
Have totally taken this advice on board with my reselling. Picked up three bulk lots over the last three weekends at about the 50c a piece. Made my money back on the first lot with just three sales. I also make sure I grab the sealed stuff and in doing so stumbled on Janus Season 1 which has comps of about $100 pre-owned!
This makes me happy well done Kelly! I’m jelly!
Dude great to see you're still killing it. I remember commenting about dvd's one of your videos a good while back. I'm totally still sleeping on them! I see dvd's every time I'm out game hunting really have to start picking them up most places I pop into do 3 for €1 and there's one even sells 10 for €1. I already own about 1000 from when I used to collect sure worst case I'd just be adding to that. Really need to bite the ebay bullet and just start putting stuff up.
Yeah DVDs are one of my big categories. I'm still tweaking my sourcing, but it is getting better. I never pay more than $2, usually $1 or Vinnies does their 50% on a coloured sticker and I can get them for 50 cents.
I always grab sealed DVDs first. Generally regardless of comps if it is sealed I will pick it up.
I gravitate towards television series as well. I like the UK stuff. That seems to have a good base of people interested.
There is no better feeling than finding a unique season or box set for cheap that comps up high. It's like you've struck gold on the spot.
Couldnt agree more mate we go about things a similar way it seems!
I look forward to your uploads every single day. Thank you for this kind of content. I've just started buying to start the ebay flip life, and actually bought my first dvd's today. Fingers crossed!
🙌🏽 re selling is the best journey
That's incredible! Thanks so much for watching best of luck with it all!
Always sell shoes & clothes and now here goes me selling DVD’s 😉. Love it, mastered clothes, mastered shoes, now time to add another item to the list! Thanks brotha
Thats awesome! Happy selling!!!
I buy lots of wrestling DVDs. Often there a few that cover the cost of the lot, then I usually double my money on most others. I'm loving it.
That’s the game! Well done 👍
Great info and walk through mate, love ya work 👍🏻
Thanks so much mate! I appreciate it
Honestly, I’m only watching this because I’m trying to get rid of my old dvds - declutter, streaming, etc etc.
I really want to make something instead of donating because I swear to god there’s a lot of value there. I don’t really see much downside other than time to be honest. Curious to see how this goes, thanks for the tutorial.
Woohoo how exciting I can't wait to see the videos Matt have fun take care and stay safe over there love from Sydney down Under 👍
Yewww thanks so much Joanne! I’m getting pretty damn excited for it now! Almost there
Mate love this video cheers mate
I've learnt alot from these videos this year- Thankyou...it is still is crazy to me that DVDs sell so well and regularly too- 2 I've sold lately that were picked up for $1 or 2 each have got me $120 for just 2 DVDs! I love finding good new and sealed for $1 I'm obsessed with finding them :)
I’ve got the same addiction!
So much easier and less headache to sell also :)
I am so happy for you if you're making that on DVD's good for you. You're doing excellent much better than taking it to a pawn shop. Who's only gonna offer you 10 cents? So you're doing good. The problem here in Canada was selling DVD's is thit's after eBay takes the fee. And the advertising fee and the postage You're left with .50 cents and the movie sold for $7. So if you're making that kind of money you're doing really good.
I'm looking forward to this usa trip content so much! I feel like in New Zealand its hard to sell DVD's. I will try with some complete seasons at some point though.
Give it a red hot go mate it’s worked really well for me so far a huge part of what I do
Thanks Matt.
Going well with the DVD sales, always picking up at the op shop & I take a trip to the tip shop about once a fortnight, scored some great Anime last weekend.
The tip shop is so underrated!
Excellent work I am buying those envelopes now as I have had a few go missing with Aust post ( shock horror )
Can’t wait for the vids from the states
Enjoy I’m off to Fiji.
This is the exact reason I cant bring myself to send untracked!
Great tips on what dvd’s sell on EBay. Also how to pack them, very useful, thanks.
best of luck! Thanks for watching!
Abit late but like to say great video Matt! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching as always!
I am not crushing DVD's because they are so way over priced here!
Love seeing your videos each day!
Agh no! Try facebook
Really helpful video
Appreciate you mate!
Some great advice Matt ,have a fantastic holiday in US ,Ebay dead for me never seen it so slow .
Thanks so much mossy! Hope the sales pick up!
Dvd's are the best category to sell. Easy to source, easy to ship, and good profit margins.
Couldn’t agree more! Hope you’re selling plenty!
Couldn't agree more! Also Video Games for the same reason.
I picked up 4 boxes of dvds someone was putting out on the Kerb. Sold first box set, sealed within 12 hours of listing for $50!
this is incredible! love your work aleshia!
right place, right time eh?
Interesting video as usual, but I can't believe you didn't mention Region 0. I usually quickly clean DVDs with isopropyl alcohol and a clean rag. Improves them no end!
I circled Region 0 on my slide to show what I look for. Forgot to mention it in my ramblings haha
love it
😀😀
Another tip start buying sealed Barbie’s vintage and newer u be amazed profit wise it generates Bought a Christian Louis Vuitton style Barbie paid $75 sold for $250
Barbies are a big category!
You caught some great vintage buys! Love those Jordan shoes you had authenticated. I got a little concerned for you walking down that ally- your in LA ( not in Kansas anymore). I’m from California originally. LA is no place to mess with when you see bars on windows and Gang signs… good thing it was day time …. Because shootings are rampant there at night….. Just being a mom….. I know your a grown man……. Take care!
Thanks for looking out for me Karen!
what about bank account options?
I've been doing DVD's for about 6-7 years now and its changed considerably during that time due to Netflix and the other streaming services online. Britbox and Acorn have hurt me most because I used to sell a lot of BBC series. Prices have come down - movies don't sell anymore and competition is up. Saying all that if you find the right stuff there is still good money to be made if you are very selective. Region 1 will sell in Australia because a lot of players are All Region players but its true that you can get returns in fact it happened to me 2 days ago.
When I list other region DVDs it’s the first thing I put in the title “REGION 1 The Wedding Singer” example. No returns if I stated it clearly in the listing.
I hear you! Im sure the market has changed quite abit in 7 years! Nice to hear you're still at it!! Keep pushing
@@emusaurus Yeah some people just don't realise. I had NTSC on the listing and it was All Regions NTSC but obviously didn't realise and there is no point pushing it because eBay will nearly always come out on the side of the buyer.
@@TheAussieFlipper I tend to go though cycles of growth and then nothing for a while and at the moment I haven't been listing much at all and I'm getting lower sales than ever before. I'll start listing again soon and it comes back reasonably quickly.
Here's question for you Matt, what do you do if you find a great comping TV show, maybe even complete, and there are none sold. Worth grabbing and maybe sitting on for ages?
I did find a good comping dvd set, op shop wanted $10, comped for about 80. But yeah none sold so I left it on the shelf as I'm a fairly new reseller!
You do usually like to see a few sell but $10 - maybe you could undercut the market and sell for $50.. still a good result and you might be the first sold comp for someone to go by for market value.
i agree from your vids i moved into dvds big time. i have thousands listed. you need to look out for fakes there are alot
This is true! You’ve got to know what you’re looking at!
Fakes are very easy to spot. Usually printed on a crap printer.
When it comes to postage, Canada don't have that Option to be able to buy all those envelopes with tracking. Here in Canada it works like this. tracking is $20. So the way we do it up here is. Anything under 100 grams =$220 to mail then 100g - 200g = $360 then 300g -400 g is $500 And again to get tracking that's expedited shipping in Canada. It Comes with $100 insurance on top of the box.for $20 And tracking so, so in Australia, you can really kill it. Selling movies, but in Canada, not so much.. Thanks for the video though
Super interesting! do what works for you! It's possible to see DVD's for good profit
hey mate, how would you reckon i ship out a set of two regular sized books? shipping seems a bit insane in australia, i was thinking the small satchel, what do you think?
it‘s only a two set so i thought there might be a cheaper way.
love your videos, they’re a big help since i haven’t seen many australian creators floating on youtube, cheers :)
Thanks so much for watching personally I would bubble wrap with a thin layer and put in a satchel that fits the books
@@TheAussieFlipper yeah sweet that’s what i’ll do, thanks :)
When you’re in Vegas Matt, put a few bets on for us and when you win, you can keep it 👍
You know I will mate!
Perfect timing, open youtube - new Aussie Flipper vidah 👌👌
Yeww appreciate you mate!
I got a fair few seasons from a Thrift/Op Shop recently however the discs and cover were removed from the cases and put in plastic sleeve type things (similar to CD wallet what people would use in car or in backpack back in the Discman days)
Wondering is it worth putting back in cases or sell as is? 🤔
I would put back
You get a band discount on prepaid satchels? I’ll have to start looking at my receipt. Have fun in America!
I dont think I do mate not much anyway mainly the tracked envelopes.
I find it cheaper doing untracked on dvds $20 or under. Ebay doesn't mind untracked items if your doing just as much tracked item sales
100% fair just my personal preference.. I can’t bring myself to do it
ebay seem to be fazing out untracked i think everything will need tracking very soon
@@JoinBensonArmy i reckon alot of people would stop selling on ebay honestly. I probably would
I mainly do DVD sales but generally buy them in bulk. You do get some real rubbish mixed in but you also find a few gems (a tub of Dragon Ball Z in my last load). My last load also had a load of region 1 and I don't sell overseas so I have just bulk auction listed them to dump them along with the less desirable DVDs. Anyway I have a quick question, if you are selling for $10 do you turn the offers off or limit them? If you leave the default of 50% then you will be selling for a loss at $5 regardless of the cost of the DVD and my experience is if you don't say yes to offers they just don't come back.
Yep I’ve done a fair bit of bulk and now I’m cherry picking. As for best offers I tend not too on low priced items like below $15 ones for that very reason. I figure it’s so cheap anyway they can pay full price. Thanks for watching keep charging!
Great video mate ! Just question would it apply for UK ebay? These days people wants 0.50-1£ per dvd , and you would probably get 2-3£ on ebay , so hardly any profit.
Always best to check the sold comps for the category in your country, every countries different. Big opportunity in Australia
How do you ship orders if you get a sale while you're on vacation?
look into time away mode on ebay. allows you to take a break and ship when you get back
Do you generally hit the thrifts in more expensive suburbs or are average suburbs good too
all suburbs provide big opportunity imo!
Are you pausing your store while you're away Matt or just putting notice on the store that it won't be shipped until you're back?
Just putting notice on the store mate. Will be scheduling 10 listings up each day while I’m away aswell
When u go over too the USA I reackon you should do a video with froggy flips CZcamsr he knows his stuff in the USA would give u some good ideas and tips.
He certainly has an awesome channel Steven!
I struggle to find a complete series without a few marks on a disc. There is always at least one dvd thats not perfect. Do you always only sell 100% perfect dvd, with no marks at all?
Minor scratches are fine as they are pre owned after all. Covered in scratches I’ll pass on though and any deep scratches aswell
Hey Matty, what do you use to clean you DVD's that have finger prints etc on them?
I tend not to clean my dvds you can get some cleaning solution from bunnings though but I tend to only buy clean discs to save time!
@@TheAussieFlipper Thanks
Question with regards to postage. Do you use the ebay specific postage through Aus post? Or just purchase flat rate through Aus post?
Just flat rate through Aus post
@@TheAussieFlipper awesome! It looks like the medium ones on Aus post are $2.50 each (10 or more $1.50each) the ones you use are $4.50? Is that because you have to pay for the postage labels?
@@0PeacoKy I have tracked medium sized for $4.50
@@TheAussieFlipper just struggling to find that on their website
@@0PeacoKy head in store
Region 2 should play in Australia if they are PAL and vice versa
You’re thinking of the ones that say region 2+4. I can’t play my region 2 Shameless dvds on my Xbox.
I think Reg 4 for newbies is the best method. Intermediate advanced sellers can do reg 2 + 1 and put int. postage on
do people you buy from FB mkt plc know you're a reseller when you turn up? Is it assumed? Do you have to spin a story about wanting them for your collection? I'd imagine also a lot of the sellers are also resellers getting rid of their useless stock. Some of the typical conversations would be interesting to know to be prepared.
What is your eBay page name? Can’t find it anywhere cheers! Love the videos keep them up 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks so much lewis its just my name: mattdiedrich
Where did you find a region number on dvd?
On the back of the dvd
On the back of the dvd
Did someone say DVDs?!?
agh here's a face I thought id see!
How do you check if your DVDs are working before you sell them ? Do you own DVD?
no scratch no worries!
@@TheAussieFlipper so no need to check ? Yes
@@aaqibazeez6753 no scratch. no worries.
What I took from the video is that if you get a return, there was an issue with the DVD despite no scratches. So, worst case scenario, you sell a lot of DVDs (no scratches) and get a few returns. More time efficient /profitable, when you factor in paying yourself by the hour. Versus watching every single DVD to see if it works.
ARE YOU SHUTTING YOUR STORE DOWN WHILE YOU'RE HERE IN AMERICA/OR SOMEONE WILL WATCH FOR YOU??🤔🤔
Time away mode while I’m away
@@TheAussieFlipper So the store runs itself??🤔
