Sell them as lots of 50-100 on Ebay. You'll save money as far instead of shipping them individually. Price them fairly and you'll likely sell them.

I sell them on Craigslist. Unfortunately, you get a lot of lowballers no matter how low your prices are and it's a slow process, so you'll likely still have quite a few left over after a while. I know someone on this board who sells them to Hastings, but you'd have to have a Hastings first.

I remember when I was selling off my DVD collection someone at work was going to buy some from me and I had already sold a few off the list I posted. He threw a hissy fit and then decided he didn't want the other titles he was going to get. It's not like I was trying to pull a bait and switch. It was comical.

Glad I made you laugh. On a serious note, when I made the jump the blu-ray back in the begging of 2008, I sold all my DVD's on CL in one big lot (about 500 of them) to one person. It can be done , it all comes down to price (I sold the DVD's for $500, basically about $1 per title).

Unless you sell them for cheap, it's going to take time…

Is good to keep them as backups though? Sell the cases and keep the BDs in sleeves or something so it takes less space. You can prob get at least good money out of the cases and kept the BDs themselves.

The problem with your collection is that you wont be able to make max profit because the majority of your blurays are very common ones that are already owned by most people and also many are sold for a cheap price on Amazon, in stores, on Ebay - new or used.

I only recommend that you sell particular ones as lots based on genre:

1. Disney blu-rays sold together as lots do well on Ebay.
2. Cartoons (movies/shows) sold together as lots do well on Ebay.
3. Maybe sell all your superhero Blu-rays together as a superhero lot.
4. Maybe sell all your live-action tv series as one TV lot.

So besides the Disney blu-rays, there's no way that you will get more or the same amount of money that you paid for your blu-rays. You also dont have any out-of-print blurays (maybe the Never Say Never Again blu?) so all your blu-rays have not increased in value.

I was thinking of doing that with my DVDs. Too many of my DVDs are taking up valuable shelf space that can be used for BDs. Since it's hard to sell DVDs now, I was thinking of just ditching the DVD cases and just putting them in a DVD wallet.
