Great post jay I’m just starting selling on eBay and I love car boot finds In your experience what are the top 10 things to look for at a car boot that I can sell on eBay easy and do you have much luck selling DVDs/ Blueray on eBay
Thanks! Best thing to do is start off picking up things you know about, so you aren’t jumping in the deep end of uncharted territory, try and discover if you have an interest in something which is possible you'll find at a car boot. As for easy pick ups I wouldn’t recommend bulky large items to start with (things that are awkward to post). Try and stay in large letter/small parcel dimensions. I enjoy selling DVD’s/Blu rays, but its all about learning which ones are worth anything, and boxsets are the best ones to look out for normally, typically niche obscure programmes which aren’t on any streaming services, if you research on eBay solds, filter, highest price you'll be able to see what is valuable that way. retro video games and branded adult size trainers and walking boots (size 7 and up), branded lawn bowls, they are always worth looking out for. Also bags can be a good thing to look for too. As for electrical items, there is profit to be made but be careful as some stuff for sale may not be working properly and its a risk, so pay for it with the assumption its broken just in case. but to summarise, the more times you go out sourcing, the more experienced you'll get and you will start to develop an eye for spotting things that could be worth buying to resell. but importantly, dont kick yourself if you make mistakes, everyone does! and enjoy it, have fun doing it, and whilst watching other resellers on youtube can be inspiring, it can also be a case of comparing yourself to them in a disheartening way like 'other people are finding amazing deals how come I'm never lucky like that?' some people on youtube (in my opinion) only show the good bits or they might have made contacts who are giving them private bulk deals for cheap. hope that was helpful! thanks for leaving a comment
Some great tips jay thanks for that Keep up the great post I look forward to seeing more Not sure if you have one in your area but my local reclamation center has a massive area where they keep back the good stuff like DVDs, games, cd plus other bits and pieces I was there on Sunday and picked up some nice tv box sets some x360 games and a lovely pair of rollerblades that were brand new all for cheap money It’s crazy what people throw away
