Selling DVDs for extra money.

Has anyone else tried this at market stalls or at car boots.

How did you get on or source your stock?

I have looked around and the best I can find is new titles for around £2 but you have to buy in bulk.

Does anyone make a decent part-time income doing this?

    People will be suspicious as to whether they are pirate or not?
    I would bring one of them like portable DVD players to prove that the quality is there?
    Where are you sourcing them form?

    That sounds too good to be true, unless you have to buy in the hundreds to get that price.

    Although DVDs are very popular I am not convinced that people still buy them as much as they did a few years ago. We have probably all got DVDs at home that we have only ever watched once (and won't ever watch again) so people may be a bit more reluctant to buy them these days.

    We tend to rent from one of the online DVD rental companies. It's cheap and we avoid the clutter of having a 100+ DVDs filling our bookshelves.

    How do you plan to make any money? DVDs cost £5 or £7 in major shops, plenty available from legitimate sources for £3. How do you price them so you can pay pitch rental, VAT, income tax, wages?
