What do you do once you upgrade your DVDs?
Just wondering what you guys do when you update an old DVD with a new speical edition?
With Goodfellas and The Lost Boys SE's coming out soon (R2)
I was wondering what to do with my older editions..
Ended up giving them to my sisters partner.

I dont see a point in "archiving" them.. As if I'd use a snapper again once I have a nice 2 disc SE in a keep case

When I find out a better edition is on the way, I list my old one on Half.com, Amazon, or eBay to finance the purchase of the new one. Since I buy most of my DVDs from Columbia House, I almost always break even, if not make a few dollars.

I don't double-dip often either... but when I do, I give the old ones to family. Occasionally there is a reason to keep the older one. In the case of "Dawn of the Dead", I'll be keeping my OOP anniversary edition when I pick up the boxset.

I give them to my friend who is trying to build a bigger collection.

I sell them at a store here (Round Rock TX) called Hastings. The nice thing is, they'll give you 40% more if you turn your sale into store credit. Even if there isn't anything at the physical store you want to buy, you can use the credit at their on-line store!

Some I sell, some I give away...and, since I don't let anyone borrow the DVDs in my collection, I keep some as "loaners" for friends/family to use to test out newly-purchased HT equipment.

it's been the same answer for the last 3 years on the board. I like keeping older editions. having a back-up, even if lesser quality, makes me feel secure.
the past year though...I've donated over 50 titles to the local library and hospital. also, a few have gone to buddies who are less fortunate and dont have large collections.

Ebay. Although up to a year ago, I kept EVERYTHING (so I had double, triple, and quintuple (AOD) versions, PLUS duplicates of OOP titles).
I put up about 10-20 DVDs a month on Ebay as of the past couple of months. I have about 200 left to sell.

I like to shower my friends with little gifts. Whenever someone does something particulary nice for me, above and beyond the call of duty, I let them pick from a shelf where I put DVDs that are up for grabs.

I trade in mine when I go to buy the newer version, unless it's a title I know a friend would really like.
