Best Way to Sell DVDs?
« on: October 06, 2006, 06:18:17 pm »
Hey kids,

Well, I'm moving soon (where will be a SURPRISE until Monday) and am wanting to lighten my load as much as possible, so I've decided to cut my DVD collection down by 25-50%.  I have hundreds upon hundreds of discs, many of which are just sitting in a box in a temperature and humidity-controlled storage container.

So I'm wondering: is there a decent place online to sell DVDs?  I sold the bulk of my CD collection to SecondSpin.com, and while they do buy DVDs too, I'd like to get at least $5 apiece for them.  They're all in excellent condition, and I have a lot of Criterion discs and foreign stuff.

Is there a decent place to sell DVDs online in bulk?  I've sold some more expensive ones on eBay, but I am not about to sell 400+ discs individually.

list the collection on ebay as a single lot, or a couple different lots divided by quality or genre, and put a reserve equal to $5 per. You're allowed to auction lots of multiple different items.

Alternately, what about posting a list here? I know I'd personally snap at the chance to buy some Criterion DVDs at a discount.

goddamn, I want a bunch of those. This is the result of watching at least 1 awesome movie a week in my film class. hm.

I'm actually going to go watch Regle du Jeu tonight. followed by Citizen Kane. It is going to be cool.

I would certainly take a few of those off your hands. I will consider my choices wisely.

Yeah, I'm really tempted to go for some of the Kurosawa and Ozu. I suspect Ikiru will make me cry like a tiny child, but that may not be a bad thing.

Barenaked Ladies have ruined Kurosawa for me for life. I'll never be able to hear his name again without singing "like Kurosawa I make mad films. Kay, I don't make films. But if I did they'd have a samurai" in my head.

Jough, I'd be shocked if you couldn't unload those in one batch on eBay.  Don't break up the set, sell the whole thing.

Limmo, I just want to get as much as I can for them, which is why I'd rather rip off strangers than you good people.

However, you may all consider purchasing DVDs from me as helping the cause if the tip jar ain't your thing.

Well, you two are in good stead with me.  The tip jar is still jingling a little from your previous contributions.

It's those other bastards I'm eyeballing...

And apparently it jingled a bit again.  Thanks for contributing to my moving fund, Limmo. :D

I will put the money towards buying a new computer desk or sofa, and think of you all fondly whenever I sit down at home.

Jough, mail Regle du Jeu to me so that I will recieve it before tonight, OK? Writing a paper about it without being able to leave the library is no fun at all.

I am just kidding, but, it would be awesome if it were possible. Damn.
