Best item to buy at Amazoin for the purpose of resale.

Due to this competition I often enter, I have a lot of Amazon credit. Recently I've used it to buy a new oven, a new microwave, 2 new mobile phones, a new tablet and a new PC, I still have £500 left over and the tap is not looking to run dry.

I really don't need anything more from Amazon, and have no family or friends. What is the best item I can buy at Amazon, that will retain as much value as possible on resale? I have an ebay account but am not a power seller, feedback of less than 1000 over 20 years.

I know that some local animal charities have wish lists on their websites so that people can order things they need - food, cat litter, etc.  You might consider that.  

I think anything you buy to resell will be losing you money but if it's money you can't access any other way then I guess it's an idea.  Or maybe you could use the money to buy gift cards that you can use elsewhere??  There's a Waitrose one available as well as Ikea and lots of other shops.  And restaurants etc.

Can't use Amazon credit to buy gift cards.

I would question a competition that you regularly win but to answer your question. 

I would be doing all my grocery shopping on Amazon and in terms of reselling maybe IPads, iPhones, high value items like Sonos but I certainly wouldn’t sell on eBay as the fees are too high.

I was thinking about groceries, but it requires Amazon Prime to get the Morrisons stuff, which since I am otherwise happy with Amazon delivery scheduleis is £9/month down the drain. Amazon own brand stuff/Amazon pantry all seems to be about 100% more expensive than normal supermarkets.

You will pay more but if you have hundreds to spend it’s a good way of getting rid of it. I would definitely be using it for a years prime as it’s worth it for the music alone. I don’t pay monthly, I pay yearly which used to be a saving. 

How about bulk buying loo roll, dishwasher tabs, washing detergent etc
