Love these how too videos. Especially when Brad cops a frisbee to the head 😂

[@2AussieThrifters]

Hahah thought you might enjoy that…. Thanks for watching man 😂

[@stevedavenport1202]

Poor Brad

[@michaelminnikin4265]

Just another tip. Put a couple of small pieces( 10 cent piece ) of small size bubble wrap on either side of the disc. I have never had a second hand disc come loose with it. Quite a few without it.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea definitely worth it especially if your sending in letter format, I haven’t had any issues in the padded mailers

[@EthanRooshock]

Great video guys! Super detailed and very helpful for anyone starting out!

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks mate appreciate the support. Hopefully it helps a few

[@89knowles]

Great video! Also you’re spot on about the tracked green envelopes I had one go missing and AUS Post wouldn’t compensate because it wasn’t a letter inside.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea they have definitely started cracking down on it unfortunately. Appreciate the watch man 🙏

[@oshboshfinds]

Great video guys. Informative and entertaining. One good tip when scouring the op shop DVD shelves is to look at the spines for the logos of distribution companies that tend to put out interesting stuff, e.g. Acorn, Umbrella, Madman, Hopscotch, etc

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks legend that’s a solid tip tight there, we’ve had some luck with a few of those logos/ companies along the way. Thanks for watching mate.

[@FlippedFoxFinds]

Your videos are what i started watching years ago when first starting out especially on how to pack items. The updated versions will hopefully help new comers to the scene with good advice...especially about those damn green medium envelopes - lost so many cases with those in the past!

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks for the support, always good to do an update especially with Aus post price changes.

[@Gee-Lee-WA]

Fantastic video guys. Short, sharp and covers everything 👍🙏👏🏻

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks for watching hopefully it is useful for a few looking to get into the dvd game.

Thanks legend 🙏

[@unclewaynosworld1708]

Awesome advice guys 🤘

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks mate appreciate that from the dvd king 🤴

[@TheFoolishNutter]

Not to mention the other "Heartland", the 1994 Australian TV mini-series with a young Cate Blanchett. One single volume and it will go for the same price as that season 1-6 bundle from the other more well-known show with the same name. Go looking up the obscure titles you've never seen or heard of before! Great way to educate yourself in the market

[@2AussieThrifters]

Oh 100% there are some really interesting ones out there, definitely worth spending some time doing research.

[@MzFallen1]

Honestly, you want CORRECT info- you guys! Thank you for pointing out the green envelope as it makes me cringe those encouraging people to use these. Also as a buyer- i would prefer some padding in my purchase to avoid breakages. To add a note- sending all items tracked is a big PLUS for your Ebay store too, am I right? 😊 P.s love that Brad was kinda used to the violence haha 😂❤

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea I thinks it’s important to point out the risks of those tracked letters. We definitely prefer tracked. Haha I think a few people enjoyed we getting smacked by a dvd 😂

[@Nannasrevival]

Thanks guys, very helpful video

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks mate appreciate the support 🙏

Source not sauce lol y’all are awesome-just found you. And overwhelmed at thrift stores when looking for dvds

[@2AussieThrifters]

Haha thanks mate hope the video helped a bit it definitely can be overwhelming.

[@TheStengah]

Thanks Aussies! 🎉

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@nickgoodin218]

By any chance do you use a disc cleaner for scratches on DVD / Games ect.... if so could you do a show on which one to buy and use.... thanks

[@2AussieThrifters]

We don’t have one at the moment but I’ve heard good things about the eco pro 2

[@FunFactFreaks]

Thanks for all the great tips. Enjoying all your adventures. If you wouldn't mind could you tell me were you get the cardboard DVD boxes from for storing them? I have been looking for some for ages. Keep up the great work!

[@kingnostalgia]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been using the green tracked envelopes for a couple of years now without an issue. Having said that, I am running them out now as I would prefer the cost to go towards my AusPost Band savings. Also, no longer doing lower end DVDs so prefer to pay a couple of bucks extra to have them covered properly.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea I know alot of people that have been doing it for ages too, but just lately I’ve heard half a dozen people having issues if items are lost etc. I think like you said it’s better to focus on those bit better ones and send them tracked (mailers)

[@bax6958]

@kingnostalgia if you purchase these green tracked envelopes in store at Aust Post & scan your My Post QR code they do contribute to band rating.

[@kingnostalgia]

@@bax6958 Are you sure? I thought it was only the yellow express envelopes that counted towards band savings.

[@CollectItAll-jb5yw]

I use the green tracked envelopes and buy them at the post office. I have them scan the my QR code for MyPost Business and it goes towards my savings band. I tested it and saw the band increase. Good point if the insurance won't work!

[@NightmareFlippers]

We’ve never had an issue with medium tracked green envelopes. As for the untracked postage stamp envelopes around 1/100 usually say never arrived. We’re however leaving that category.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea fair enough, I’ve heard of half a dozen people lately that have issues with tracked letters only over the last few months so I think Aus post are starting to crack down. No insurance if lost or damaged.

[@alecgreenwood3034]

Hahaha “what the!!” 😂

[@2AussieThrifters]

😂😂🙏 when you cop a dvd to the head 😂

[@CollectItAll-jb5yw]

Thanks for the video! I've used the medium green tracked envelopes for sending small items but after watching this video and reading the Australia Post terms and conditions about what I send I will look into using Registered Post prepaid envelopes like the documents said were required. It would be better to have signature on delivery and it is still cheaper than using parcel post.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks for the watching, yea i know a lot of people use the tracked envelopes but it seems Aus post are starting to crack down on it a bit.

[@CollectItAll-jb5yw]

Yes, I agree with you and that's why I'm looking at changing to Registered Post that requires a signature on delivery because the items I sell would be covered by insurance if lost/damaged according to Australia Post docs on their website. Thanks for all of your great tips and info! @@2AussieThrifters

[@CollectItAll-jb5yw]

@@2AussieThrifters Thanks, yes I did just experienced a lost medium green tracked letter and Australia Post said they would not pay because it contained coins. So I will change to parcel post!

[@MB.19]

When posting the untracked small padded envelopes with stamps, are you guys taking them to the post office or just dropping them in a post box?

[@2AussieThrifters]

@@MB.19 if they are untracked it’s honestly not going to make any difference as there is no intial scan

[@MB.19]

@@2AussieThrifters thanks guys. Love the channel, keep it up 👍

[@codforlife]

Thanks for the vid guys. Did you make your inventory boxes or buy them? 😘

[@2AussieThrifters]

@@codforlife we actually got the custom-made to size my a box company

[@tracees.treasuresWA]

Wow, using a padded mailer for up to 9 DVDs would save me a heap of money. Anything over three or 4 dvds I tend to box as Aust Post has twice totally squashed some I have sent in the past. Maybe I need to risk it on some of the lower value ones I have currently marked down. Nice, concise useful info as usual guys. 👍👍

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks Tracee yea I’ve sent 100’s in sets of 8 or 9 in the padded mailers and haven’t had an issue yet. If they did get crushed by Aus post you would be covered under the insurance up to $100 as well.

[@tracees.treasuresWA]

@@2AussieThrifters both mine were denied as not being packed well enough even though they were bubble wrapped first before going in the mailer too. I might give it a go for the lower values. 🤞

[@2AussieThrifters]

@@tracees.treasuresWA yes that’s ridiculous sounds like Aus post trying to cut corners and not pay out.

[@Gary707]

Thanks guys. Yeah, ive used them green tracked envelopes for awhile now. I was actually advised by my local Australian post office to use them when i asked what was the cheapest way to send a dvd tracked. Ive never felt quite right using them though and i need to use my own padding every time. How do i go about getting a padded envelope tracked apart from mypostbusiness?

[@2AussieThrifters]

Hey mate, Yes I think it really depends on which post office but I have heard a few people not getting covered with the green envelopes. With tracking on the padded, you can print labels from eBay or my post business or pay over the counter.

[@jason_flips]

Do you have the measurements of the boxes you use to store the DVD's? Right now, mine are in Plastic tubs with about 50-100 in each one and it's a pain digging through them all. Thanks

[@2AussieThrifters]

Hey mate I’m getting some more in soon so I’ll check the invoice for the measurements

[@jason_flips]

@@2AussieThrifters Thanks

[@Puckette1984]

I'd love to know also please!

[@hiskingdomguitar1313]

Great content. Do you guys use free shipping? What would you recommend. I have been using free shipping and incorporating the shipping cost into the buy it now price.

[@2AussieThrifters]

We personally do free shipping on all our DVDs as we set about goal of a $30 plus sale price so we incorporate the shipping into the cost like you mentioned, each to their own on free shipping vs paid

[@hiskingdomguitar1313]

Ok Good to know. Thanks for that. I also asked a few questions on another post just above. Appreciated. @@2AussieThrifters

[@pawpawsworkshop68]

Hey my local thrift shop just start doing sales on dvds an blue rays twice a month, for $0.50 each an nearly half of them are still sealed never opened, do you Think that's a good deal for resale ?

[@2AussieThrifters]

Oh nice yea it would really depend on what titles they have you can do comps on eBay by looking up solds

[@StayingInYourOwnLane]

Great video awesome advice guys! I didn’t realise they wouldn’t cover you if you ship out in a green envelope. Do they cover you if you’re shipping with the stamps in the other padded envelope?

[@2AussieThrifters]

I’d have to check but I don’t believe so on the stamps but I’m not 100% sure as I don’t send anything untracked anymore.

[@StayingInYourOwnLane]

@@2AussieThrifters no worries do they cover you under the padded envelopes with tracking your paying for now when doing an individual dvd and the bundles.

[@2AussieThrifters]

@@StayingInYourOwnLane yes if you send tracked you are covered up to $100 under insurance for lost or damaged items

[@Zero-is-infinite]

If you have a good will outlet you’ll pay by weight which is a better entry price for making a profit

[@2AussieThrifters]

Yea unfortunately here in Australia we don’t have goodwills like you see in America.

[@Zero-is-infinite]

@@2AussieThrifters link with us so we can source and send them to like a whole seller would. Give them a list of what you’d be willing to buy if they have/buy it. You’d have too many to house lol

[@hiskingdomguitar1313]

Great content, Have a couple of questions if you dont mind. Just starting out so still learning. 1) I would like to send all my DVDS and GAMES tracked. I have seen you can buy the generic bubble mailers online for a lot cheaper than through AP. Is there any reason to pay more the the offical AP branded ones. 2) To send them tracked in the generic bubble mailers do I just add 2 stamps for postage and add a registered post label which I can buy through AP. This works out to be $4 for tracking (Box of 50 is $203.7) 30c for mailer and 2.40 for stamps totaling 6.70. Would this work and is this the cheapest options? 3) how do I incorporate the above in questions 2 into the my business plan? Can this be done. Thanks heaps.

[@2AussieThrifters]

Thanks for the support 1) technically you are supposed to use Aus post branded for the flat rate however I know that the generic ones do get through. 2) if you want to send untracked it has to be under 20mm think and will either be 2 or 3 stamps depending on weight. 3) you can’t really incorporate untracked in my post business

[@hiskingdomguitar1313]

Thanks for your reply. Sorry but for questions 2 and 3 I am asking about them being tracked not untracked. I would like to send them tracked and was wondering if using the generic mailers this would be the best way to do it and also if it can be incorporated into my business plan @@2AussieThrifters

[@PitterPatter100]

Great video. I have a few hundred in my personal collection and was wondering whether it's worth selling them on a different account ? Lots of fairly common ones and some series. Or just dump them ? (Ouch!)😢

[@2AussieThrifters]

You never know you might be able to lot up a few titles of similar genre’s a get a bit out of them you never know there might be some gems in there.

[@PitterPatter100]

@@2AussieThrifters Thanks, yes I'll have a go at them. Other option is to sell as bulk lot to another reseller. Do you think they need their own acc?

How to send single DVD express post ? Do I need a specific satchel, or can I buy some sort of sticker ?

[@2AussieThrifters]

If you are using my post business the label will print as express you can use a normal satchel and you can ask for express stickers at your local post office

[@blackmonteme]

do you pay per sticker or can buy a bunch ?

[@2AussieThrifters]

@@blackmonteme most post office wil give away the stickers the payment for express cost is via my post business

When you inspect a dvd do you run it to see if it works?

We only really list items that look like they are in very good condition any signs of scratches that may impact playback we don’t list.

[@RonDMC85]

Quick question how would you send 2 normal DVDs? What envelope or satchel? I’m just starting out lol
