The Best Small Items to Sell in Bulk in the UK (2026)

Not all bulk lots are created equal. Some categories sell within days of listing. Others sit unsold for months. Here's what actually moves — and what to avoid.

We buy and resell small bulk lots on a daily basis. Over time, you develop a clear picture of what flies and what flops. This guide is based on what we actually see selling — not theory.

Note on pricing:The offer ranges below are what a bulk buyer like us might pay per item. If you sell individually on eBay or Vinted, you'd typically get 3–8× more — but also spend 10× the time. Bulk is about speed and certainty, not maximum return.
#1

Branded Clothing

Very High

Clothing is the number-one reselling category on Vinted and eBay. Branded items (Nike, H&M, Zara, Next, ASOS) move fastest. Women's and children's clothing have the broadest audience.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Women's tops, dresses, jeans
  • ✓Children's clothing (any brand)
  • ✓Branded hoodies, trainers
  • ✓Mixed clothing lots

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Men's suits (narrow market)
  • ✗Very large sizes only
  • ✗Heavy winter coats in summer
Typical bulk offer: £0.50–£4 per item
#2

Phone Cases & Accessories

High

Everyone has a phone and everyone replaces their case. New-in-packaging cases for popular models (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy) are especially easy to resell. Cables, chargers, and screen protectors also move well.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Phone cases for current models
  • ✓USB-C and Lightning cables
  • ✓Wireless chargers
  • ✓Screen protectors (multipack)

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Cases for discontinued models (pre-2020 iPhones)
  • ✗Very generic cables with no branding
Typical bulk offer: £0.20–£2 per item
#3

Beauty & Skincare

High

Beauty products resell extremely well on eBay, especially gift sets and branded skincare. Sealed and unused is essential — we cannot buy opened products. Popular brands like The Ordinary, CeraVe, Maybelline, and L'Oréal are always in demand.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Skincare sets (sealed)
  • ✓Makeup palettes (unopened)
  • ✓Hair care products (sealed)
  • ✓Nail polish collections

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Opened or used products
  • ✗Very old products near expiry
  • ✗Unbranded cosmetics
Typical bulk offer: £0.50–£5 per item
#4

Video Games

High

Games hold their value well and have a huge buyer community. PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch titles move fastest. Retro games (PS1, PS2, N64) can be worth significantly more individually.

Best items to submit

  • ✓PS4 / PS5 games with cases
  • ✓Nintendo Switch titles
  • ✓Xbox One / Series X games
  • ✓Retro games (pre-2010 consoles)

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗PC games on disc (low demand)
  • ✗Mobile games (not applicable)
  • ✗Sports titles (FIFA, PES) from 3+ years ago
Typical bulk offer: £1–£10 per game
#5

Jewellery & Accessories

Moderate–High

Fashion jewellery sells steadily on eBay and Vinted. Mixed lots (necklaces, bracelets, earrings) resell well as individual items or bundles. The key is condition — tangled, tarnished, or broken jewellery has little value.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Necklaces and bracelets
  • ✓Earring sets
  • ✓Fashion rings
  • ✓Hair accessories (clips, scrunchies)

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Tangled or tarnished items
  • ✗Very low-quality plastic jewellery
Typical bulk offer: £0.20–£3 per item
#6

Toys & Games

Moderate–High

Toys are a strong category, especially in the run-up to Christmas. Complete sets in good condition resell well. Missing pieces kill value — be honest if items are incomplete.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Action figures (complete)
  • ✓Board games (all pieces)
  • ✓LEGO (even loose bricks)
  • ✓Outdoor and garden toys

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Incomplete sets with missing key pieces
  • ✗Very worn or faded toys
  • ✗Cheap party bag toys
Typical bulk offer: £0.50–£6 per item
#7

Books

Moderate

Books have lower per-unit value but consistent demand. Popular fiction, children's series (Roald Dahl, Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid), and cookbooks move well. Textbooks can be worth more individually.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Popular fiction and thrillers
  • ✓Children's picture books and series
  • ✓Cookbooks and self-help
  • ✓University textbooks (check editions)

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Encyclopaedias and old reference books
  • ✗Very niche academic titles
  • ✗Water damaged or heavily annotated books
Typical bulk offer: £0.10–£1.50 per book
#8

DVDs & Blu-rays

Moderate

DVDs have lower value per unit than they once did, but complete box sets of popular TV series still sell. Blu-rays generally fetch more than standard DVDs. Cases need to be intact.

Best items to submit

  • ✓Complete TV series box sets
  • ✓Blu-ray editions of popular films
  • ✓Children's DVD collections
  • ✓Collector's editions

Lower value / harder to sell

  • ✗Scratched or damaged discs
  • ✗DVD singles (low value)
  • ✗Very obscure titles with no fanbase
Typical bulk offer: £0.10–£0.80 per disc

  • →Consistent condition across the lot — mixed quality lots are harder to price
  • →Original packaging where possible
  • →Accurate quantity counts (not estimates)
  • →Clear photos sent after submission
  • →Honest description of any faults
