Best place to sell R1 Dvds?

Looking around on the interwebs, can only find 2 places to sell on old Region 1 DVDs

amazon marketplace = trying but it takes ages, and don't get a whole lot once amazon takes its cut, and sometimes the postage cost doesn't cover the profit made

music magpie = but only getting about £15 for 11 DVDS (including 5 box sets)

its harder to sell R1 dvds for obvious reasons, but wanted to know if anyone has any other suggestions? I've tried zapper/woopdedoo/ a few other sites, but they take either less than MM or not at all.

thanks!

    eBay, surely ... ? There's even a selectable R1 subcategory to choose...
  • I'd second eBay as long as you make enough from to cover the fees and Paypal charges you could also try http://www.avforums.com/categories/classified-adverts.242/ I bought (not sold) a few DVDs and Games from there without problem

    Tell your friend he's talking nonsense. If it's yours and you have owned it, you can sell it to anyone who wants it.

    If that was true Wal-Mart should be in a lot of trouble as I spend a small fortune there in Florida buying dvds when I'm on my holidays lol
