Video-game and console reselling on eBay
A side hustle that sources and resells video games and consoles on eBay for profit.
The idea, in plain language
A side hustle that sources and resells video games and consoles on eBay for profit, starting from the founder's own collection. Revenue is the spread between buy and sell prices on used gaming hardware and software, primarily via eBay listings. Customers are used-game buyers worldwide on eBay. A production supervisor discovered his old gaming inventory had resale value and built a part-time flipping operation. No specific revenue, margin or unit numbers are given.
Where the sources agree
- Started from inventory the founder already owned.
- Sold almost exclusively through eBay.
- Treats a hobby as low-risk seed capital for resale.
