Best Buy is the highest-variance storefront on B-Stock: laptops, tablets, headphones, and smart-home gear carry strong eBay demand, but electronics returns have the platform’s worst failure rates — dead units are common and items sometimes do not match the manifest. Every piece must be tested before listing, which makes this a category for resellers set up to diagnose and, ideally, refurbish. Apple and Samsung lots draw aggressive bidding that reflects their resale value, so the quieter money is often in smart-home lots (Ring, Nest) where competition is thinner. Budget for eBay’s ~13% final-value fee on high-ticket items — on electronics it materially changes the math — and never bid on an untested-electronics lot you cannot afford to have partly fail.
