Everyone gets excited about new release dvds. Personally, I don't like new release dvds. I consider them high demand low profit items. They are at a premium for everyone. My goal is to make $2 - $3 per dvd. I've found I only make this same $2 - $3 on a new release dvd that cost me $15 - $19. I would much rather make the same $2 - $3 on a movie that cost me $6 - $8.
I really like movies that are a couple of years old. This is the category I put most of my time into. What titles you decide to sell is totally up to you. It is important that you spend enough time doing the research before you buy a lot of titles that you can't sell.
What I normally do is tell all of my customers to research the top dvd sellers on Ebay. Just take a look at their past auctions and see what type of dvd's they are selling. What you will find is that these guys never sell new releases.
WHAT DVD TITLES SHOULD I SELL?
The best thing that you can do when picking dvd titles to sell is to research the titles. You can do an advanced search on Ebay to research top selling titles. Just refine your search to the top seller's (as mentioned above) and find out what titles sell.
You should not limit your research to just these three sellers. Do an extensive search on Ebay to see what dvd's are selling.
When I find a title that is a good seller on Ebay I simply add that to my "Buy List." As you continue your research you will see that there are tons of top selling dvd's, and your list will get very large.
I recommend that you spend around 5 hours a week researching top selling dvd's on Ebay. Find about 100 top sellers a week, and watch your list grow enormously.
In addition to a "Buy List", I have a "Do Not Buy List". You'll find movies that are good sellers may not remain good sellers forever. Your "Buy List" will always need to be refined. Once I have a title go bad, I take it off the Buy List and add it to my Do Not Buy List to make sure I don't purchase it again.
Another Great Point
Not every movie title will make you money. The key is to find the titles that will make you a profit. Whatever you do, do not waste your time on titles that you like and that you think will be good sellers. Find the titles that are low in price, but that you will still make about $3 on.
