    A sale like that is a movie lover's dream! I would have spent at least an hour digging through those stacks. Just had a sale myself last weekend, only had a handful of people even look at the movies. Sold an 18-gallon tote of DVDs at the end of the sale for $5. It has become very niche with streaming.

    As a general question, May I ask how you ship? I assume media? Do you sell with free shipping or charge shipping? It kills me seeing listings for DVDs at like $3.99 free shipping. Even at free COG that seems to be selling at a loss.
    I also buy dvd collections and try to stay around $.12 each co side ring how many may be multi discs and incomplete or just missing disks altogether
    Nice haul. I might have went for the cds and records as well.

    I’m sorry I spotted this too late she’s getting high on her cheese whiz. There’s a monopoly on eBay. Some people have 1 million DVDs they put 10 different prices and they’ve got 10 different copies so if you do this, you’re gonna lose your house now if you got $100,000 and you’re doing it as a side hustle on Ebay and gold Diamond art if that’s your main business you’re fine. Some of these movies will sit a year😢 so if you can pick these up for five cents each OK maybe you’ll sell them for a buck or two but there’s no money in this get a nice gold chain for $20 and sale it for 1000. There’s over 500 garage sales each week and everybody’s area. If you’ve got 50 years experience, maybe you can venturing to DVDs as a side hustle on top of your main hustle. And yes, and I mean yes everybody buys DVDs and everybody gets burned on DVDs. It’s a rookie mistake. Please don’t make a rookie mistake. And whatever you do, don’t do it like she’s doing it make one offer get out quick in and out.😂

      @@mikeallen5907 there's a ton of money in DVDs. The ones I buy also resell quick. I've never gotten burned on DVDs because I either just know about them or I've looked them up. Definitely not a rookie mistake if you know what you're looking for. A lot of these movies in the video got donated, but I kept the ones that sell decently fast. All of the DVDs I kept have sold long ago and for great profit. Not sure why you're bringing up about a million DVDs and 10 different copies, etc because that's clearly not the case here. A lot of DVDs out there are good money and they're easy money, with little to no effort in listing, shipping, etc. I've made thousands of dollars off of DVDs and media alike so I'll stand by my experience with media being one of my bread and butters.
