What really sells on Amazon?

Hi everyone,

I'm about to receive a £25 voucher for amazon tomorrow (taking part in a survey at uni) but I don't really want to buy anything from amazon. I believe the money would be better spent elsewhere. What could I buy off amazon and re-sell again that wouldn't lose so much of the value?

I've been selling books of amazon (academic) so I know you have VAT to pay and fees, but I'm getting the voucher for free, so it wouldn't be a loss. What sells well on amazon, anyone know?

    Would you prefer paypal instead?

    When you get the voucher, list it on ebay! ( I think today is a half price listing day)

    Simply set a 'buy now' of £22-23 and promise to email the buyer the code. I did a similar thing, and receieved very near the total value of the voucher in paypal cash.

    Best of luck.

    Karl.

    I bought some watches from amazon when they were in the sale and will sell them at xmas time, for more than I paid but still a bargain below market value.
