    Just wondering what you guys would consider the be the best selling site for DVDs? I've got quite a few to sell, am unsure whether ebay or amazon or somewhere else would be most likely. I haven't had any luck on amazon selling books so leaning towards ebay?

    I don't have luck with DVDs on either of them, I prefer music magpie. You don't get a lot but they pretty much take them all and if you sell in bulk you can get a reasonable amount. Same with CDs.

    New to the forum, this is exactly the type of discussion in looking for.

    From looking at the above list, there is loads that I could be going to make / save money, my problem is where should I start?

    Could someone give me a top 5 beginners list?

    I would say:
    1. Sell unwanted stuff on ebay/amazon/music magpie
    2. Swagbucks
    3. Topcashback
    4. Energy switch
    5. Use every supermarket coupon you can get your hands on (provided its either money off your total spend, or a voucher for something you'd buy anyway)
