Most buyers won't buy on eBay unless they are getting a better deal
than
what they would pay at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. That's the motive for
buying online.
Also consider that you are offering used DVDs. Even if they are in
"like new" condition,
buyers still expect a discount if they are previously viewed.
If a DVD title is selling for $9.98 at Wal Mart how much would you
expect to get
for the same title (used) if you are selling online?
I believe the low prices on eBay has more to do with the lower prices
at Wal-Mart.
rather than the anticipation of Blu-Ray discs.
