The NEW Reality of Selling DVDs on eBay

[@ricc5688]

Hi Matt. Appreciate the shout out for the tv series and game boy! I'm watching from Vegas!

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Preciate you Ricc!!

[@emusaurus]

From what I've observed, everyone is having slow sales. I'm still doing almost the same volume, but only managing to sell cheap stuff and stuff I've accepted lowball offers on. Even at my FT job we've had nothing to do the last 3 months.

[@Cbgrandtheftauto]

Same here! Hopefully Q4 gets better for us all!

[@DrifterThrifters]

I had to shut down for a week as sales were overwhelming me

[@Cbgrandtheftauto]

I sell DVD's and bluerays, but I buy them in bulk and part it out. Realistically you only get a couple bucks per movie, but I use them as filler or if I have something else I need to do and need to get my listings in. I can pop 10-50 out in 20 minutes. I also rip the used movies and add them to my plex server so not only do I get that money, but my movie Library rivals Netflix

[@damonjennings4792]

HELL YEAH BROTHER! I have a similar strategy.

[@Cbgrandtheftauto]

One thing that helps me the most on movie sales is I have a 3rd party program that I can set to delist and relist my items after they get past a certain age. You will be suprised the ROI on movies. Like you said with your example, thats a 3-600% profit! Its just not that impressive from a price perspective becuase you started at $2.

[@gamewithmag]

Courtney's face when you talk about favorite wrestler ... priceless ... 🤣😂😁 @20:00

[@Daztheflipper]

I definitely agree that the glory days of bulk buys on market place are more or less dead unless you can get a really good deal (with some pre-comps) AND it’s not taking up time that you would otherwise spend sourcing higher value/STR items. I do still sell single movie and single tv series but sourcing more so on an individual basis via thrifting/flea markets - whereby I’m hand selecting based on $20+ sell price and high sell through rate. Shifting focus heavily on sell through rate and then leveraging the STR information into my price considerations has been a HUGE needle mover for me for sure. Curious to know why you don’t send untracked letters on dvd orders under $30, you can even get away with 2 dvds in a large untracked envelope for $4.50 if under 250g of course 🤫, or $7.50 for between 250-500g. I haven’t had an INR on untracked letters for over a year! The 2 dvd untracked option changes the look of a $20 sale. I was terrified to make the change to untracked but so glad I did it. It also gives you the option to hand deliver an order if the address is local which adds to profitability (more so for me because I have a company vehicle from my FT job! hehe).

[@Nateosaurus]

I'm still selling lots of DVD's. The majority of my store is DVDs. Ive definitely learned that some are better than others. Some movies sit for ages. TV shows are the best sellers.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

you said it best!

[@SingenSmoothy]

So with boxes do you just walk into bunnings and grab what you want box wise or?

[@karleneblacker4219]

I've had a good week with sales just listing some DVDs again over the next few days There's a heap of DVDs at our local green shed so I had a heap to choose from, lots still new & sealed.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Heaven on earth inside that green shed!

[@geelong-flipper]

Sales have been a little slow this week! That’s for sure mate. My new novel came out today so I’ll take that W

[@amygone2pot]

So many bulk lots of dvd’s on FB now too, since the Auspost price rises. Lots of sellers have come to the same conclusion and are off loading their stock.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Time to go!

Congrats on the 30K subs, you've been a consistent force.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks for being a part of it

[@tdubs21]

yeah dvds is nickel & diming always has been except for the few exceptions, not worth the time.Cameras is the best one as you find alot and usually cheap as and cheap fees, I think 7.3%

[@ashleybarker937]

That Cliff album made me LOL. Sold a couple in the last two weeks, I reckon 99% of his output is buzzing around in the world of unwantedland.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Thanks so much for watching

[@rustyabandoned5561]

I’ve been buying DVD’s cheap and trying to flip them, slow going and lots to learn. I’ve been doing $6.65 tracked envelops but it feels like overkill for cheap DVD,s? What is your suggestion for cheap postage, would $3 in stamps work? Cheers

[@TheAussieFlipper]

It would for dvds worth less than $15. But I’ve stopped listing those and only list $20+ with tracked postage envelopes

[@wing-in-it]

Last month was a record month. This month looking good too.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

Same for me

[@PitterPatter100]

Another great video. Miserable on the Sunny Coast too. Slow sales but hoping things will look up a bit soon. Congratulations on 30K!!

@@TheAussieFlipper it's been a fun journey seeing you so become so Knowledgeable and professional these days Matt. 👏❤️ Especially loved the little side touch with the dinner!

[@jurgennushi6832]

🙋🏻‍♂️ I have a question : With just $10k sales a month, how can you make 2 incomes? Living in Australia, $10k a month for two people is just enough if it was your net profit, not your gross sales income. Something doesn't add up 🤔

[@TheAussieFlipper]

i make money making videos on youtube. selling on ebay isn't my only source of income. Courtney also just works for me. The hours I pay her aren't her only wage either. Hope this provides clarity

[@jurgennushi6832]

@TheAussieFlipper I did some calculations of the possible income that you might make from KZbin. With 5k daily views, you make between $50-$500 per month. Maybe you have other KZbin channels, but with this one, I don't believe you can make a living out of it. Also, you preach to other people on how they can grow their sales. Perhaps it would be more convincing if you lead by example?

[@TheAussieFlipper]

@@jurgennushi6832 the last thing i need to do is justify to you what I'm doing. We're 4 years in - we're doing just fine.

[@jurgennushi6832]

@TheAussieFlipper I understand, but there are so many "Ebay gurus" out there who, instead of inspiring new sellers, have the opposite effect on them. Giving false hopes is the same as giving no hope at all. Thousands see your videos, some of them might get the wrong impression and take rushed decisions, like quitting their jobs to resell on Ebay, for example. I have followed many of these "gurus" for years. In conclusion, they want one of these: a. to sell a course, b. to sell a tool, c. to get monetisation from KZbin. They don't care about the new resellers out there. I hope you are not that kind of guy, but seeing the numbers, it doesn't look good.

[@TheAussieFlipper]

@@jurgennushi6832 false hope!? if anything, based on what you're saying I'm actually being too honest (you're implying I'm not making enough money) how is that in any way making me out to be a 'ebay guru'.. I call it how it is and I believe there is every opportunity for anyone to start a profitable eBay side hustle. Strange comment man. Very disappointed in the angle you've tried to go down here.
