I said that I might as well keep them for that price. i figured I would get at least 2 -3 dollars a disc, which is still crap! Thanks

I think $1 is pretty standard with pawn shops. You can probably get more from a store that sells this type of thing. I know that the Suncoast near me sells used stuff. I think Blockbuster only sells their own used stuff. Look for a CD Warehouse or even a local music store. Maybe even a local video store (if they even exist anymore) The video store that I used to work at would take stuff on consignment, meaning you didn't get any money until the item sold and we kept a percentage. Ebay would be a good bet or maybe half.com but if you want cash quick, Ebay wouldn't be your choice. My sister has been dumping all of her DVDs at a pawn shop as she replaces them with BDs. But then she sold a few of them to her ex-husband for $5 each. Friends and co-workers would be another option.

One thing to remember about using a local music store is you will usually get more if you accept store credit as opposed to getting cash. You can use this credit to get more Blu-Rays, but usually at a higher price then Best Buy or Circuit City. But with store credit it's almost like paying nothing and you've cleaned out your DVD collection.
