Best way to go about selling Blu-Rays / DVDs?
 

I had a bad habit of buying DVDs and Blu-Rays and never even watching them. I only have a select few I want to keep and have around 150 or so I want to sell.

Among these are about 20-30 Criterion movies.

Do you think the Criterions I should sell as a lot or individually?

Is Craigslist my best option or is ebay better?

If anyone has sold their collection of DVDs before, I'd appreciate the help.

Chuck them down the road. About all they are worth.

Sounds good. I will look with the girlfriend tomorrow.

What does Criterion mean? I am none geek.

They are usually movies that don't get funded to go on DVD by major studios or something.

Criterion is a company that does that and they print very short runs of the DVD and include a shit ton of Extras.

I just looked some up on Amazon and those are pretty expensive. I am cheap so I might be out on those ones except for Life Aquatic. I ****ing love that movie.

I've bought about 150 blu rsys off of eBay. The way most people buy on there is on small lots of 3-7 movies based around a genre. I spent on average around 4 or 5 bucks per movie in lots like that.

Cool, I'll probably do that then.

ooh Dazed and Confused. Classic, movie came out when i got finished with High School. I think 95?

My bad sept of 93. i was a Senior

Let me know some of the rest that you have and I would definitely be down for buying a small lot of movies.

I'd love to get the Robocop and For All Mankind from you unless you're going to eBay all of them.

Please do not Craigslist or eBay them until you've given the folks here a run at 'em! :D

I'll go through your list today and let you know what I might be interested in.

Agreed with this. Set up a list... maybe on a Google doc or something.

Not true. Criterion focuses on what they consider important and/or groundbreaking movies, or what they say are "the defining moments of cinema" or something like that. They do amazing transfers and generally have incredible extra features.

That said, they have a love affair with Wes Anderson (seriously, WTF?), and occasionally come out with strange releases (Armageddon? The Rock? Seriously, WTF?).

The inclusion of the Michael Bay films is a bit of a head scratcher.

I called first dibs assholes and Life Aquatic is surely mine!

Oh and Merry Christmas to all!

You can have Life Aquatic.

ROFL

Thanks! I was worried.

garage sale, sell them for a buck or 2 a piece. I stopped buying those things a long time ago. Unless it's a movie that I love and know I will watch it again.

craigslist.org

I'm interested.

I got 3 dollars from them from a pawn shop.

Here are the rest of the Blu-Ray movies that aren't Criterion.

PM me if you're interested in anything. I also have a shit load of TV seasons on Blu-Ray and DVD. Not sure if there is any interest in that.

It makes me sad that so many of these are new... it's like you've never let them live.

Only like 35 of the 100+ are new. Plus I have netflix and I streamed a lot of them so I never had a use for watching the discs.

lewdog is my first victim.

Who else wants some money stolen from them?

ROFL

:clap:

:hmmm:

:banghead:

What do you want for Broadcast News?

Are you offering any "lots", and what are you asking for those? If the price is right, I'm interested in several of your Google list.

I think that lewdog will vouch, I sent him 7 movies at an average of under $4 before shipping.

The Criterion ones I'm asking for a little more.

Broadcast News would be $14.

8 movies and right near $4 a movie.

I can't vouch yet as I have not received them. :D

Speaking of collecting movies you really like and know you'll watch again...doesn't it piss you off when you get a movie that is part of your collection and it has one or more stickers on it that are hard as hell to get off?

Alright I have received a lot of PMs on this, and I've been busy as hell at work. Tomorrow is supposed to be my day off, but I just found out I'm working, so I'll do my best to answer everyone's questions. People have been asking what TV Series I have...I'm going to post these tonight.

In my experience, selling each individual movie on ebay has been the best profit-turner.

Don't feel like doing that if I don't have to. I didn't mean to use CP as a site to sell my shit on, but since it's happening, I'll donate a cut.

In case anyone is doubting my man Buck here, I figured I would post this. I just received my 8 DVDs I bought from him and wow, just wow.


Not a single disk looks like it has ever been touched. Not a mark, smudge or scratch anywhere to be seen. They all look brand new.

Buck ****ing rocks!

I don't **** around.

What about Amazon? Fees seem a lot less than ebay.

I think they have a lot of fees. I tried selling something on there once, wasn't satisfied.

+1.

Mad props to Buck.

+2. Received my discs today. All in fantastic condition. Thanks Buck!

No problem guys, glad you're happy.

+3, DVDs look great!

Another satisfied customer reporting. Thanks, Buck.

Thanks guys, your money is being put to good use :thumb:

What are you doing with it, if you don't mind me asking.

Branson.

Heh.

I bought a case of Twinkies.

SCORE!

The Wages of Fear is pretty good. Don't think many people know of it since it's old and french.

Yep, intense movie.
