Dvds Wholesale - HOW MUCH SHOULD I ASK FOR MY DVDS?

By: Brent Crouch


I often hear, “How much should I sell my DVDs for?” This is a very common question, and I can provide you with the answer.

New sellers often times think that they will make $5 off of every DVD that they sell. That is not the truth by any means. Even though DVDs are the hottest item that is available on the internet, this creates a lot of competition for a seller.

Volume is the key in this online business. The realistic profit that you will see from of a DVD is from $1-$3. This sound like nothing, but imagine selling about 20,000 DVDs a month like ebay's top sellers.

I normally set my listing price a couple dollars above my cost. So if I have a DVD I paid $8.48 for, I'll set the listing price at $9.99. The rest of the money I make on the shipping and handling.

I charge a flat $3.99 to ship one DVD and $2.00 each additional. The actual cost to ship a DVD is $1.29 using airmail provided by USPS. So basically, I make an extra $2.70 per DVD on the shipping and handling.

"Is this ethical", you ask. Of course!

I am always upfront in letting my customers know what they will pay for shipping and handling. As a matter of fact I list my shipping and handling charges right on my auction page. So, my customers are fully aware of what they pay for a DVD that they will purchase from me.

If I have in my inventory a DVD title that turns out to be a bad seller, I can sell it for what I paid and then make my profit from it in shipping.

I wish you the best of luck with your business and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
