Need To Get Rid Of My Blu-ray Collection, But Am A Total Newb Re:Selling - Blu-ray Forum

Please forgive me if this is not the right forum for this post.

I have a large Blu-ray collection. It includes a decent # of Criterion, 3D, complete series of TV shows ("Battlestar Galactica" & "Lost" just came to mind), & some 4K. A lot of my collection has never been opened & includes slipcovers.

I'm moving for a new job (travel medicine), and am going the airstream route. I won't room for my possessions anymore.

I'd like to sell any of my collection of value. I would like to donate the rest. In all my life I've never sold anything anywhere. I always kept my old phones, just plopping them in drawers. I never sold that collector's item I had just gathering dust. I've bought on sites like eBay, but never sold.

I see selling on amazon requires being a professional Amazon seller or FBA account or something. That's out. I look at eBay. Seems okay. I read about Mediaswap on Reddit. Looks like it works well.

But going back to being total newb. I don't know the first thing about selling. i I know those sites walk you through & make it easy. But there's so much involved. I don't have time to list each disk individually. I don't care if I'm leaving $$ on the table. I'd rather sell them in lots.

But once a seller offers a price,I don't know how to go about shipping. I don't currently own a printer. If I got access to one, I wouldn't know what type of packaging in which to mail it. I'm not going to use a humungous box to ship 1 Blu. But I woudn't use an envelope either.

I don't want this to take months. I cculd meet someone here in the Eastern IA/Southwestern WI, Western IL area to sell a bunch of them.

Is it best just to donate my collection to quality charities?

Thanks for any advice you may have!
