Does anyone still buy videos?

Amazon Marketplace is quite good for videos, particularly if they are things that were not released on DVD. There are several (mostly TV programmes) that I have sold for £30 to £40.
It's quite easy to search for the items using the barcode number and then you can see if any of the ones you have are worth anything.
Amazon fees are quite high, but you don't get charged for listing , so if it doesn't sell you haven't lost anything.0 -
Video, whats one of them.... think i'v heard about them in a history book.. 
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.0 -

That's funny! I still call any film I watch at home a video. My daughter is 3 and wonders what I'm talking about. She says that it's not a vid it's a film!DMP mutual support number 174Total debt now (April 10) £0! - total paid off £30,221 or 100%I'm now debt free after 6 years!!:jNon smoker since June 2006 :j0 -

I sold a video on Ebay yesterday for £5, so I am well chuffed. It was a BBC video that was never released on DVD, so that explains it, but it has been up on Amazon for 4 months without a nibble.

I had a load of Teletubbies videos to sell (son into Bob the Builder now!) and didn't have the time to sell them individually. I sold them as a job lot and got more for them than I would have done if I'd sold them as separate auctions.Hopeless by name, hopeless by nature.0

I find I buy videos for my children on ebay as they are cheaper, they can watch them on my old video player which is now in their bedroom and when they go off them (which usually isnt long) I know I didnt spend too much on them.
I've tried selling videos on ebay and like you say children's ones go well and rare ones which have never come out on dvd do too.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040 -
I've just sold a few more children's videos on Amazon this week which went for £5 each, even with fees & postage off I still made around £3.50 on each one.2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please0
