Selling Disney on Ebay

[tink713]

I love Disney so much that I want to start selling it as a full time job on ebay. Only thing is, I don't live near Florida or California, so how can I get ahold of great Disney items at a discounted price to sell? Any suggestions?

Yeah, but others can get those just as easily as the OP, so no real market there on Ebay.

Actually, there are many sellers on ebay who do just that and make a fortune at it! They buy the sale items from DisneyShopping.com and then turn around and sell them for full price or collector premiums on eBay! Even though these sales are available to everyone, not everyone takes the time to shop around, so they just buy it on ebay!

All the big time Disney sellers on ebay have a connection to the company. Most have a family member or spouse who is a Cast member, and just go to the company store and purchase pins and things at a great discount, then resell them for a profit (which violates Disney policy). There are some who just to to property control sales at WDW, buy up all the obsolete costume pieces and resell them to the collectors.

There are currently 88 Disney Stores closing, all in liquidation. You can find great items there at a discounted price and sell them on ebay.

And I agree with PP, many ebay sellers have a friend or family member (or maybe even self) employed at 1 of the parks, buying stuff at a discounted rate and reselling it, which is against company policy and the CM can be terminated. As a Disney Store CM, the same goes for me, I am not aloud to buy something at work and resell it for profit. I can, however, buy something, and if way, way down the road decide I do not want/need it anymore, sell it. I think I have snowglobes I am about to list out of all the gazillons of stuff I have.
