           How to sell music cds on ebay :

This guide is basically for the individual who wants to sell only music cds . The very first thing you need to do is specialize on the type music you like to listen to . For instance , if you are a country music lover use this to your advantage . You are already an expert on what's hot in country music and therefore know what's a good deal when shopping for cds to resell . You just can't sell cds and expect to make money off any ole junk for sale . If you are a lover of all types of music this is even better . Your knowledge of who's hot is greater than the average listener . You can use this experience to become a tremendous buyer/reseller of music .

 The second thing you need to do is purchase a 100 count box of cd size bubble mailer envelopes ( 6x9 inches ) . Purchase these wholesale on ebay : Walmart Sams Club or where ever you do business . Purchasing wholesale will get you the best price . Walmart has these individually for $.67 cents each . Wholesale will be about $.25 to $.30 cents each . An even cheaper and better route than wholesale is to make your own bubble mailers . All you need is a roll of kraft brown paper , scissors , clear packaging tape and a small roll of 12inch x 30 ft bubble wrap . These items can be purchased from any local Walmart or Sams club . Make your own bubble mailer . Wrap the cd in bubble wrap and tape . Next wrap the kraft paper over the bubble wrap and tape . Be neat , it's easy to wrap and tape a music cd for shipping . Making your own bubble mailers is significantly cheaper than purchasing bubble mailers .

 The third thing you need to do is to learn how to become a better bargain hunter for your favorite music cds to resell . When it comes to buying and reselling cds your best bet is the true wholesaler . I can't reveal my sources , this you'll have to hunt for on your own . The key to getting the best price with a wholesaler is to purchase in large quantities . For example purchasing a 1000 count box of cds vs a 200 count box will yield a cheaper individual price per cd . This is what you want , your goal is to get the cheapest individual price per cd that you can . Sometimes you can get excellent bargains on ebay for music cds also . Top name music cds are always more expensive to purchase . Even on ebay .

 Most of all be punctual on shipping your cds and don't over charge on shipping . People know when they are being ripped off on shipping .
