Interesting info guys! I've also started to pull some VHS out due to the costs to ship them as a result of the new postage cost increases & you start to realise they do take up a fair bit of space when you get enough of them. Thanks for the vid!

In 2005 when I first started it was books I sold. I have a friend who owns a second hand bookshop which I used to work in casually. It is a category that takes a lifetime to learn. They tend to have slower sell through but generally higher profit margin as you can pick them up next to nothing if you know where to look. I would put graphic novels in with book category too so there by far your best selling. As for CD’s, I love music so always picking up CDs cheap or in bulk lots and have sold some for over $50, and I enjoy listening to new stuff in the process. Again takes time to know. Really the key factor here is time, your time, what you want to spend your time getting to know well and also if you enjoy it. No fun = no point, might as well go back to full time job.

80% of my start up ebay store is movies and media, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, VHS while I'm still green (8 weeks in) it seems to be going well, I have a goal of 30k profit for the financial year 23/24 as i work full time in another government job, I'm still learning everyday and it's hard to start up, its so time consuming but so much fun.

We're getting sales from 6yo stock as well as the 1 night just listed stock. Slow sell through rates don't bother us. Of course we buy the bolos when they rarely present themselves. But we couldn't live off them as everyone else is chasing the same big ticket items. The slow sell through rate items are what keeps us off unemployment.
