Best way to sell stacks of DVDs, ebay?

[n1ckt001]

Likely I am moving overseas shortly (out of region 2...), and I am trying to think of the best way to sell all my DVDs. Imagine I have about 100...
I could keep them, but I think my future will be BluRay etc so no need to keep old DVDs.

My thoughts were car boot... but I can not deal with someone asking for even more off every time after we agree a price, potentially 100 times!

Websites where they buy your DVDs, they send you the envelope and you post... they offered something like 80pence for a 5 disc anniversary edition of the Godfather Trilogy, so that's out to!!

Which leaves ebay, but I have no idea which would be the best way to do it?!
Split them up into 4 separate chunks of 25 and set the price accordinly for each? Say £30 for 25?

I could of course take them down the Smack Generator, sorry, Cash Converters...

Any thoughts good people of Pistonheads would be appreciated!

Doesn't Amazon still allow you to charge postage, in which case it would be better to sell them individually, and make a teeny bit of margin on the postage.

Car boot with all the other stuff you don't want.

Stick your list up here and see if anyone's interested.

Way to go cal. You're special and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise

Try CEX (not sure what they're paying though - check prices online)
Otherwise - individual sale via amazon/play perhaps?
Unless you want to sell as a job lot on fleebay

Good point about Amazon (and thanks rm as well for suggesting it)... might go with that suggestion.
CEX said they'd pay £5 for Godfather (my benchmark for comparison now) so they're beating the other website I tried...but for run of the mill stuff it is 30p!!

As long as it doesn't break any PH rules... of course, it also then leaves me wide open for PH ridicule should there be any films in there playing to the 'sensitive' side... in that case I would just put Rambo or Leon somewhere in the title

Stick it on PH:

Drop me a list, things like the godfather I'd be interested in. Would certainly pay more than 80p lol.

I've sold loads on Amazon, trouble-free but for low value stuff the overheads are quite high.

[saleen836]

Someone put a list up on here a few months ago of DVD's they were selling, think they did quite well from it.

[n1ckt001]

I am crafting the list now... at 104 DVDs, and just about to get the other box out with the rest!

I will either throw it all in an advert or post it on here directly...

[gib786]

Could always stick up an ad on avforums, loads of folk selling dvd's on there

[mpm1987]

I could be interested in a few!

[dudleybloke]

cashconverters pay about 50p to a quid for single dvd's and usualy 4-5 quid for a boxset.
been a while since I'v sold any so prices may have changed.

[Carlique]

Throw up a list on here.... I'm a slut for films lol, I could be interested in a good few

[sneijder]

I'd have a look at the list too if you have time.

Amazon charge around £2 for postage but you can pay as little as 90p for a DVD to be sent, only problem with Amazon is their high fees which are around £2.30 per title although even if you sell for 1p you still make 50-60p

[lingus75]

I'm up for buying some also. Perhaps you could e-mail those of is who are interested?
