thomas Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've been thinking about running a small dvd/video game/record business on ebay. I'm not looking to make a ton, just a bit of extra cash to spend on records and stuff. I was curious if anyone has one and what sort of problems you have encountered and such.

There is a ton of used stores around here and I always come across great deals I know I can flip for some profit. I'd be happy making $3-5 profit on stuff, so long as I could make enough each month to buy some new stuff I want. So this seemed like my best bet.

enjoyadrian Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 idk if it would be worth it if all youre looking to make is a small profit. The ebay fees for selling are kinda ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twat Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 idk if it would be worth it if all youre looking to make is a small profit. The ebay fees for selling are kinda ridiculous. Yeah, plus there are tons of people alredy doing it. Do something creative, make a blog discuss the game, sell on the blog site. If u have an ebay acoount, make a ME page and link that to your blog or other web site. EBAY BLOWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Oh, that was another thing I meant to ask about. I know their fees are a bit much, sold 3 things in the past few days and I owe $9.19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 5 years ago this was a great idea. eBay sucks now and it's just not worth it. You'll hardly make any money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well I bought a bulk of DVD mailers, and I'll see what happens. If I'm not satisfied after a few sales, oh well, I'm just out a bit of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
