You have a lot of inventory. Biggest thing is to be honest with yourself. Log you buys. Log miles driven aka fuel spent. Log your ship costs: package, postage. Log the fees to the site. Then you have profits. Not hard to do with phones nowadays or debit bank statements.
@Branden-vl9sl5 ай бұрын
That's because it has to have high demand to sell. Ebay tells us what's in demand and what isn't. If there's thousands listed and it has a high % sell through rate it's a great find. Low sell through items are probably going to sit there for six months or a year or two or never sell.

My top sale for vhs is $175. I paid $35 for the tape. I was nervous about it working but knew i needed to take a chance. It sold in a little over a week which was nice. I have a expensive Gamecube game I need to list soon also. I just started doing KZbin videos myself. The hunt is exciting for sure. Vhs is something i know very well. I have bought the entire contents of 2 movie stores inventory. I have over 3,000 vhs and around the same amount of DVDs I need to get listed. I have hundreds of each already listed. The large majority though are $2. Good video.

Found a nice lot of Sealed WWF VHS at a yard sale a few months back. All extremely early, dating back to the first wrestlemania. Wound up listing two and caught a rabid collector almost immediately. Despite getting no other offers or messages during the few hours of negotiations. I wound up selling two of the 8 tapes I bought for 700 dollars. Probably a once in a blue moon find, but keep your eyes open for super early wrestling stuff.
