where to sell dvd's

i have a huge pile of dvd's to get rid of (taking up too much space)

i have 80+, have been trying to sell them seperately and sold about half, (down from 120 odd)

now the question

where is the best place to sell them?

it would cost a lot to send them via courier so would have to be collection only

(p.s) im trying not to list via ebay cos of timewasters & the usual scammers and fees :mad:

    oh you want to list all 80 of them as one lot?

    ebay is the only place i would use to do that

    i would list them one by one but take a lot of time, and would take time posting them seperately, which im ok with

    but i dont want them cluttering up my room for months on end.

    as due to the weight of them all seperately, i would prefer a collection but you get many time wasters on ebay

    Most job lots of DVD's of that quantity on eBay will go to resellers - so it's unlikely you'll have many problems with the buyer paying up.

    Look at sending them via a courier reseller - parcel2go will charge about £8 for 48hr delivery on that amount.

    Expect to earn about £1.50 to £1.75 per disc when sold as a job lot.

    find me a job lot of dvd's that sold for 99p, and I'll pay you the difference myself!!!

    Seriously, if you list it with a title like "Bulk job lot of dvds from personal dvd collection - all listed" then list each DVD in the description, I can guarantee you will have double figure watchers within a day or two, and the bidding will go silly in the last hour or two. There are a LOT of people buying DVD job lots.
