Selling jiffy bags etc.

In 3 years of on and off Ebay selling I've never bought any packaging materials apart from decent tape. Most of the rest comes out of the bins at work or I reuse bags from things I've bought, or cut up cardboard boxes etc.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was any scope for profit from collecting used jiffy bags, bundling them up and then selling them on. They're normally completely intact with just some writing on the outside.

Yes, definitely.0

Not huge amounts, many shops on eBay have cornered the market on this one and do sell in large quantities and are able to get very good wholesale prices!0

New jiffy bags are that cheap it hardly seems worth selling second hand ones - they work out about 7-11p including postage when bought in 100's.0

They are that cheap new now, why bother? How are you going to collect enough up to make it worth selling a bundle of 100?
Personally, i reuse jiffy bags, boxes etc myself, but gathering up used packaging to resell is a different thing entirely.0 -
youd need to make double sure the original addresses were 100% gone before reselling
not worth the hassle0
