For eBay sellers, there tends to be a more viable margin in older titles, in the UK anyway. I would personally advise against new release titles to begin with and only ever take small quantities. There are hundreds, even thousands of titles to choose from. You're still only ever looking at a profit of £1 - £2 (after fees), but the initial outlay is a lot smaller.

I'm afraid I don't agree D M, it is possible to sell hundreds of games each week. Not of the same title, if that's what you were originally getting at, but build a catalogue of titles and it's easily achieved.
gaffe14 - To be honest, if you only have 500 euros to begin with I would seriously consider looking into other areas. The industry is quantity driven and if you cannot sell in quantity, you'll be making tiny profits for a long time to come!
Of course, the markets are very different from country to country. I have supplied games in the past to countries in Europe where they were being retailed at £55! So my own experience is based on how the market is in the UK.
