Where to sell adult videos

I've got a couple of adult videos which were left by my ex a few years ago. I'd like to get rid of them but am too embarassed to sell them at a car boot sale :o. I've had them listed on amazon but they are not shifting, and I can't list them on ebay.

I'll probably just end up binning them, but it seems a shame to do that when they are in perfectly good nick, I'm sure someone could get some entertainment out of them ;):D

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can flog them? I don't want a lot just want to get shot of them.

Ta in advance

    There is a conniseurs market for adult videos, especially if they haven't been remastered to dvd yet. It very much depends on the title though and the cut. If it's an older British release (pre-R18) chances are it's not worth anything at all. You do get collectors of certain lines like Fiona Cooper and Electric Blue, but you have to find them. The softcore market is even smaller and more specialized than the hardcore market.

    If you can't put the titles or amazon links here then PM me them and I'll find out if they are worth anything or not. I'm guessing that if you have them on Amazon they're probably pretty mainstream UK material, and Amazon may indeed be your best bet. It is videos, not dvds yes?

    You're too kind. I do have some small knowledge of adult collectables though. Certain early Electric Blue tapes can go for £100+ and there are other series and specific titles that are collectors items. Same with certain magazines like Playbirds, Park Lane etc. They can have a substantial collectors value. People can fetishise a particular film or magazine (which will usually be a limited one-off print) and ten years later they will pay a premium to have it. There's a certain issue of "Oui" magazine that I would drop £100 on in a heartbeat.

    Basically the adult collectables market is the same as any other collectables market, but although ebay US allow certain "adult" listings, the UK site does not. Finding your buyer therefore is not always that easy, but if you have a "commodity" of relative scarcity such as an issue of Whitehouse that the Vice Squad at the time seized and pulped most of, then you could be on to big bucks.

    Hmm - I sold a vintage Penthouse on eBay once, or is that too softcore to worry them? I sold it to a gallery owner...

    ebare.co.uk or xr8ed.com are niche adult online selling venues.

    Have you tried your local milkman or ice cream man. They often have sidelines. My OH can't understand why our local ice cream man comes back around at 11pm
