What is the easiest item to sell ?
« on: February 03, 2011, 10:06:48 PM »
Well, that's hard to say. At one time it was DVDs, but that is slowing down for me.

I got 1,000 DVDs at $2.50 apiece some years ago from a Mom and Pop store that went out of biz.

At that time I could get $5 or $6 for newer titles. Now if I get a newer title in a locker a $3 bill is about tops.

Still, I'd say they go pretty fast.

One fellow bought about 2000 DVDs from Hollywood Video when they went out of biz. He brought them ALL out at one time and was selling them for $1.00 each. In my opinion not good marketing...people are going to look through 2000 titles. And why sell them that cheap? Undercuts the whole biz.


So, what is the easiest item to sell? If you tell us, maybe we can profit from the idea.

Gold!  You can sell it for melt value, or if you have something nice you can list it for more than melt and make a little extra.  NOTHING is easier to get rid of and make money on!

Other then gold and silver scrap metals of any kind are easy to sell.  All the little Brass India made do dads from years ago will get you over $2 a pound and they will take as much as you have.
