Online Dvd Rental: Rediscover The Magic Of Movies

Imagine a chilling afternoon when it’s snowing outside, you have a holiday to enjoy but nowhere to go! Running your favourite movie nth number of time seems like a great idea. What is generally done in such a situation is to avail the DVD rental service offered by various merchants on the high street as well as online. As the high street is becoming passé with each passing day, online movie rental is gaining a stronghold amongst all.

The invention of VCRs about two decades ago introduced the Brits to the concept of watching movies in the comfort of their homes. The DVDs are fulfilling the same purpose but with a picture quality that is much better and advanced. The torturous long queues on the weekends at the theatres are no longer visible as people now prefer this DVD rental option to the other one that is money and time consuming.


One major advantage that online DVD rental service has over others is that in case of most merchants the provision of late fee has been done away with. The merchants who earned pots full as late fee even from their loyal customers have now given up the system due to immense competition in the field. As a result, the advantage lies with the customers and you can make the most of this favourable situation.

Next time the need to rent a DVD arises, consider these online merchants who offer almost every movie of your choice at really low monthly rates. You get your favourite movie in your mailbox in no time and what more, you pay no late fee as you decide to watch the movie again during your next weekend break.

Wholesale DVDs

Hello Friend,

Everyone gets excited about New Release DVD's. Personally, I don't like new release DVD's. I consider them high demand low profit items. They are at a premium for everyone. My goal is to make $2 - $3 per DVD. I've found I only make this same $2 - $3 on a new release DVD that cost me $15 - $19. I would much rather make the same $2 - $3 on a movie that cost me $6 - $8.

I really like movies that are a couple of years old. This is the category I put most of my time into. What titles you decide to sell is totally up to you. It is important that you spend enough time doing the research before you buy a lot of titles that you can't sell.

I direct all my customers to STUDY the auctions listed by midwest_media, white_elephant_media, and moviemarz. These are some of ebay's largest dvd sellers. If you will take a look at their past auctions, you will not see many, if any, new release dvd's there.

WHAT DVD TITLES SHOULD I SELL?

Researching titles is the most important thing you can do. If you go to ebay and click on "Advanced Search", you can search by seller, and then refine the search to completed items. This is a good way to look at the past auctions of these top sellers I mentioned and see what titles are selling.

Don't limit yourself to just looking at the auctions of these three sellers. If you browse the DVD category on Ebay, you'll find lots of full time sellers to take a look at.

Once I find a title that is a good seller, I add it to my "Buy List". You'll find the titles that you research will grow in size like a giant snowball. It seems a little slow at first, but after a few weeks, you'll have a few hundred titles that you know are good sellers.

For instance, if you spend 5 - 10 hours this week researching titles and come up with 100 good ones. You add those 100 to your "Buy List". Then next week when you spend the same 5 - 10 hours researching titles and come up with 100 new titles, your buy list will have grown to 200. After a few weeks, you'll have several hundred movies on your list.

In addition to a "Buy List", I have a "Do Not Buy List". You'll find movies that are good sellers may not remain good sellers forever. Your "Buy List" will always need to be refined. Once I have a title go bad, I take it off the Buy List and add it to my Do Not Buy List to make sure I don't purchase it again.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT

You cannot make money on every title. Your goal is to find the titles you can make money on. Don't waste your time researching titles you like or you "think" will be good sellers. Instead, research your cost on the titles you see the big sellers have sold. When you find a title that is selling over and over determine if you can buy it low enough to make $2 - $3. If so, you have a good title for your buy list.

Good Luck with your business.
