in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering what you all reckon is the best place to list CDs, DVDs, videos or books - Amazon or eBay for each one? On which website are they most likely to sell?

    Hi Lewis, have a look at my signature! but to be serious you need to look at each of your items on amazon in current listings and ebay on closed listings and see which gets the better price. You'll need to bear in mind the different selling costs - you might find that you split your listings over both sites.

    Thanks apprentice tycoon!

    Have listed a couple of books and computer games on Amazon, and going to put some other bits on eBay tonight (guitars, nick-nacks etc).

    Yes that's great please do, number 35 is the next one free, but I have to ask - are you truly addicted to the extent that everytime you visit someones house you've mentally valued each and every book you see?:rotfl:
