Returning movies stick in shrink wrap - Blu-ray Forum

nbxfan · 08-16-2008, 06:42 PM

Any suggestions for returning movies still in shrink wrap but now a bit old? I'm not sure what to do with some of my duplicate movies. I have quite a few movies still wrapped up like the Pirate movies...Spiderman movies...etc. As I usually never return anything, I don't know what stores are best to take things back to with out having a receipt. Also, if I should limit the number I am looking to return. I am not looking for cash or anything just to trade them in as I now own them on Blu-Ray and no point keeping both.

Well you can always try Walmart and see what happens...

I thought that might be the best place to try, I have shopped at Walmart only a few times and have no idea what the return policy is like. Alot of stores have gotten more strict about everything.

No matter what anyone posts here, this will be a YMMV kind of thing.
You won't know what will happen until you try stores. Or try to sell online at places such as the Trading forum here or eBay.

seriously...looking around online, most of the "buy back" services will give you like $.24 to $1.00 for a dvd. Ebay is pretty much a hit or miss, as these are mainly mass market dvd's they aren't selling for much of anything if selling at all. I also can't believe how many movies I have unopened, I knew I did this with video games but shocked at the number of movies.

or try second spin.com, they buy movies, but not as much as years ago

Depending on the DVDs you're wanting to get rid of, it may just be easiest to sell 'em individually on Amazon or in a bulk listing on eBay. The bulk listing may very well get you more money than you'd get doing a "buy back" deal.

I just sold my Ratatouille DVD on Amazon for $6.99. That takes a nice chunk off the cost of getting it on Blu-ray.

Took two Pirates movies back to best buy without a receipt and they exchanged them for me. Still have a good stack but most of them sell new for under $10, and even now $6 or less.
