Best Selling DVDs on eBay in September 2026

Complete TV series, on both measures, and it is not close. An estimated 37,987 sold in the trailing 30 days, worth $1.50 million, against 17,385 Blu-ray discs and 12,547 box sets. That is 14.4% of the category's 264,380 sales but 29.4% of its $5.09 million in revenue, so series pull far more money than their unit share suggests. Best is not the same as most available, though. Series sit on 72,934 live listings and score High competition, which is why ZIK rates them Medium opportunity while box sets, on a third of the sales, score High. Read the sell-through column beside the units column.

Complete TV series at 52.1% sell-through, then box sets at 37.6%. Everything else sits between 12.6% and 19.4%: Disney 19.4%, horror 17.6%, Blu-ray 17.2%, action 15.7%, classic 15.1%, and anime last at 12.6%. The 18.2 point drop from box sets to Disney is the widest break in the table, and it falls exactly on the line between multi-disc sets and single discs. The category as a whole clears 17.9%. Read the eight segments against each other rather than against that figure, because they cover 32.0% of the category's units but only 21.4% of its listings, so they are not a like-for-like sample of it.

The category averages $19.23 a disc. The eight tracked segments run from $16.91 for Disney and $17.09 for action up to $39.38 for series and $39.17 for box sets, a spread of only 2.3 times, which is tight. Asking prices sit well above all of them: every segment lists at between 1.4 and 2.4 times what it actually sells for, action the widest at $41.18 asked against $17.09 paid, horror the narrowest at $25.21 against $17.59. Buyer search terms cover a similar range, with tv series dvd highest at $47.37 a sale and kids dvd lowest at $16.16. Price against completed sales, not against what other sellers are asking.

This data answers that by format, not by title, and the distinction is worth stating plainly rather than guessing. Nothing here identifies rare pressings or out-of-print editions, because the segments are keyword matches on listing titles rather than a rarity index. What it does show is where the higher prices sit: series at $39.38 a sale, box sets at $39.17 and anime at $38.26, against $16.91 for Disney and $17.09 for action. The dearest listing in the products table is Kung Fu The Complete Series at $59.96 across 190 sales, and the priciest search term is tv series dvd at $47.37. On this evidence the reliable premium is completeness, not scarcity.

That depends almost entirely on what you list. The category averages $19.23 a sale, so postage, packaging and fees take a real share of every single disc that goes out, and 1,475,042 live listings stand against 264,380 monthly sales. Measured per live listing, the category returned $3.45 of sales over the window. A series listing returned $20.51 and a box set listing $14.74, while Blu-ray returned $3.04. That is the answer in three numbers: the same shelf space earns close to seven times more in complete sets than in loose Blu-ray. Sell formats buyers search for by name, not whatever discs happen to be on hand.

By a wide margin in this window. Series and box sets together account for 59.6% of the units in the eight tracked segments and 73.9% of their revenue, from 33.7% of their listings. Series clear 52.1% and box sets 37.6%, while the other six segments all sit between 12.6% and 19.4%. The money follows the same line: a live series listing returned $20.51 of sales over the window and a box set listing $14.74, against $3.45 for the category. The products table agrees independently. Five of the twelve highest-volume listings are complete series, from Emergency! at 330 sales to Kung Fu at $59.96 a set.

Three segments score High opportunity, and they are not the three that lead on volume. Box sets are the strongest read: 37.6% sell-through on 33,340 live listings at $39.17 a sale, against only Medium competition. Disney clears 19.4% on 20,234 listings, also Medium competition, but at $16.91 a disc. Action is the only Low competition segment scored High, clearing 15.7% on 13,260 listings, though at 2,079 sales it will not fill a store on its own. Set all three against Blu-ray and anime, which carry 140,319 listings between them, clear 17.2% and 12.6%, and both score High competition and Low opportunity.

Two different businesses sit in the same table. gruv-entertainment moved 29,069 discs for $485,396, about $16.70 a sale, from 2,438 live listings, and second.sale moved 24,456 for $165,606, roughly $6.77 each, from 2,270. Both run multi-quantity stock, better than ten sales per live listing. dailyreeldeals is the opposite model: 868 sales for $292,691, about $337.20 each, from 154 listings. The ten together take 37.4% of the category's units and 30.8% of its revenue from 1.96% of its live listings. Strip them out and the rest of the category clears 11.4%, not 17.9%. That is the rate an independent seller should plan against.

ZIK weighs units sold, sell-through and competition together rather than ranking on volume alone. That is why series lead on units with 37,987 sales and still score only Medium opportunity, while box sets sell a third of that number and score High: series compete against 72,934 live listings, box sets against 33,340. Blu-ray makes the point from the other side, deepest pool on the page at 101,105 listings and Low opportunity. Every figure comes from ZIK's own eBay US data for the trailing 30 days. The eight segments are keyword matches on listing titles, so they cover 32.0% of units and 21.4% of listings rather than dividing the category up, and they can overlap.
