Dump all your dvds for Blu-ray?

[marcellusk]

Did a search and couldn't find any other threads so i figured i'd start one.
Im seriously considering just selling all of my dvds to make more room for blu ray and to get as much $$ for them as i can. (only keeping rare titles that may not ever be on blu). I looked at my collection and a lot of dvds i dont even watch. I just keep for general purposes. So do you guys keep your dvds until it comes out on blu or selling now?

[MOONPHASE]

please keep in mind that you will probably get at most $4 for your dvds these days maybe even less. with that in mind only get rid of the dvds that the blu-ray version outclasses the dvd version

[Rovic]

thats what i'm trying to do, but as the above poster said, your not going to get much...i'm also giving them away to family members...

I traded all of the DVDs I had which were either announced for Blu-Ray or most likely would be in the next year or so, aside from a select few I decided to keep around.

Best place I've found to trade them in was DVDPlanet.

i sold all the ones they took at FYE. they give a pretty good value, if you trade it for store credit they give you a store % added on the value of the DVD.. they only do 20 at a time, so i went a few times to get rid of them.. i don't care if their not on blu yet, because they will eventually all turn and i rather have the money now to spend on blu's

Sold most of my off in the past right as Blu-ray was being released. The only DVDs I have are older TV shows and cartoons. All films and new TV shows will be purchased on Blu-ray.

I also sell some of my DVD's to get them on Blu. But only big titles and a few outsiders. Replacing my whole collection of DVD's would prove expensive and I am not that wealthy.

Exactly. A lot of stuff would be foolish to get rid of.

There's a lot of Blu-Ray releases that are subpar at least in the Extras department.

I have been selling almost all of my dvds over the last 9 months on ebay. I usually sell them in lots of around 30 and get around $60-$90 for the lot. I am about to do a final sale, at which point I will almost be rid of almost all my dvds. I haven't sold tv shows for the most part however. I can't imagine I would spend the money to upgrade a whole series, so I have held onto those.

I have sold off about 1/2 of my DVDs we had over 1500, and are now I am estimating around 700. I first sold what I had on BD, then what I was sure I would never watch again, then anything that was announced on BD. The 1st 800 or so went fast now I am just selling them as they are announced on BD, and catalog titles are just trickling out. I have also given a few away.

[peter008]

i have over 600 dvd movie and tv. serie 120 already in blu, i'm not ready to give up on my entire collection yet. it may take a while for some of my dvd to make it to blu-ray so i will wait for them to be release in blu and make the switch then.

[Erman_94]

i will only sell off ones im not too crazy about anymore. and i will only re-buy titles that are my favourites.

As I get a Blu version I get rid of the DVD version. Some DVDs I have will probaly never come to Blu so those I will keep.

[trunksvegeta187]

Sold most of mine at MovieStop so I can get Heroes and the Matrix on Blu. Not before I backed them up first

[Marine Mike]

I'll be keeping my DVDs until they release a portable Blu-Ray player.

I used to do the same thing until i realized that most of the movies i was keeping on dvd i don't even watch like that.

[dobyblue]

You just can't get anything for them these days.
I got rid of some good ones in 2005 and 2006 when I knew what was coming, but these days you've got to start your auctions at $0.99 to just get watchers, nevermind bidders. After Paypal and eBay's fees it hardly seems worth it.

+1...I also used DVD Planet to sell many of my standard DVD's.

[P@t_Mtl]

I have been selling my DVD at Planet DVD, those they will take anyway. Anything else I just give out to family and friends.

bundle them and put them up on ebay, someone will pick up the lot.
