Questions to ask yourself when selling DVDs

There are many things you can try and sell online and DVDs are amongst the most popular. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get involved though as there is a huge market for doing this. You need a good strategy to ensure you get the best deal for your discs and you ensure that when you’re selling DVDs from your collection or those that you’ve bought you get the best possible price. Keep these questions in mind when you’re considering selling discs from your collection.

How many DVDs do you want to sell?

You need to get yourself organised and think about the volumes you’re planning on selling. Your stock will probably begin with whatever is in your collection that you don’t need or want. Perhaps you have lots of children’s DVDs but your kids are all grown up or you have a few duplicates from when you moved in with your partner. Search through your collection and find every disc that you want to sell, the more you have to begin with the better.

Where do people buy their DVDs?

The larger the amount of discs you have, the bigger the profit you can generate. If you only have a small few then you will need to look closely at where you can get them sold for the best price. There may be a local store which buys them or a market seller – the more you know the better your chances of resale will be. If there are no DVD sellers in your area you can always turn to the internet where you’re bound to find sales.

What can you charge for DVDs?

Obviously you won’t be able to sell your second-hand DVDs for the same price that you bought them for but this doesn’t mean you can’t generate a decent amount of cash. The best way to ensure you’re getting the best price possible is to monitor other sales via the internet and local second-hand stores. Your regular charity shops will sell at much reduced prices so don’t feel you need to go so low. The more time you monitor the industry the better the feel you’ll get for what you can charge.

Can I use the internet for effective sales?

The internet is the best possible place to sell your DVDs. Whether you have ten or twenty or twenty thousand you want to shift you can easily find someone willing to take them off your hands online. You could set up your own website or you could sell through one of the many popular e-commerce channels that already exist. If you have specific prices for your discs then make sure you give that option or you could find people trying to get hold of your products for cheaper than what you know they’re worth.

Once you’ve read our answers to these key questions you’re ready to start selling off your DVDs. If it proves successful you could even consider buying up more at a great price and shipping them out again for a profit.
