question for double dippers.

[drtre81]

I see tons of people saying they sold their old dvd copies because a blue version was coming out. My question is this... how much could you possibly get for a used dvd that is not oop like batman anthology?

Wouldn't it be better to just keep them or give them away?

Most people get rid of their movies where they can get like maybe $3-$6 for their movies and then just use that money to help purchase the Blu version. (At least thats how I do it)

Akira special edition, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tenchi Muyo OVA, When They Cry(1st edition), some other rare anime dvds that are discontinued from manufacture, and a few live action titles.

+1

Thats what I did. I had over 120 DVDs before I converted to BluRay. I sold each of them individually on eBay, and every single one of them sold from $0.99 to almost $25. I had a deal that each extra DVD purchased, to add $0.25 to shipping, and one guy in Jersey bought over 70 of the movies I listed. Kinda saved me the hassle of shipping them all separately.

Just a note, that was the biggest pain in the ass finding all those mailers, and shipping all the DVDs.

Not a bad price considering the resale value of DVDs today. I think thats roughly what I got for mine.

I give my DVDs to a friend of mine. Since I'll get diddly squat for the DVDs anyhow, I might as well help a friend out. This guy is so stubborn that he is holding onto his 800+ VHS collection and would never even consider an "upgrade" version of any of those films since he already has a copy. So, I need to get him realizing that DVDs are the way to go before he'll even begin to consider a Blu-ray collection. He says that Blu-ray serves only one purpose. To make people pay more for films again. He says that the quality doesn't even come close to justifying buying a film on the format, let alone buying ANOTHER copy of the film if you already have it on DVD or VHS.

Double-dip victim here; I sell my DVDs at work, either $4 or $5 per DVD, occasionally more (like for the Godfather trilogy or Band of Brothers, which I sold for closer to $20).
