WooHoo!! Bay Area Success!!

Blockbuster on Meridian/Hamilton in San Jose in running the $8 dvd deal. Just called and they said it starts today.

My local BB (South Jersey) has a big sign in the window advertising the $8 Trade-in promo. It wasn't there yesterday.

They accepted two of my cheapie $1.00 titles Little Moon and Judd McGraw and Look At Me America. They didn't take my Moulin Rouge 2 Disc because there was no barcode and they refused one DVD that was too scratched up.

I bought a dvd set of the Billy Wilder Collection from Columbia House when it was mispriced at $29.95, I traded the titles individually and got $72 for the set.

which South Jersey store?

Bayville (Rt. 9)

There's flyer in the store with price quotes for other titles and boxed sets. Sopranos they are giving $35 in credit and Friends season 1 $10, Dances With Wolves SE is also going for $10 credit. There are about 10 or more listed between $9 & $10 but I don't remember but a few.

It is hot if you have a bunch of cheap crappie titles, movies you picked up from Pawn Shops or Used DVD stores for little to nothing or old PPV you want to offload. Granted you are not getting cash back, how many places can you go to trade in your unwanted DVDs and get $8 back. Most used catalog DVDs don't fetch more than $5 on ebay.

I saw the sign at mine in Harrison Twp. MI

I may go back when I return these DVD's I have....there are a couple I would like to get rid of....maybe

OR success. The Wilsonville store does not have it advertised yet, but it is participating in the trade in deal.

Some of their prices on 'new' titles are double MSRP. American Pie for $20? HELL NO!

And its really funny they broke street date on one title last week and on its release day its nowhere to be seen and they did not get any Shawshank in today. Odd.

Thanks to the OP for pointing this out, instead of getting $35 for the titles I traded in I got $56.

I quite agree. You're wasting your time and gas. Plus you're trading cash for credit; I'd rather have the opportunity to choose where I spent that money. Furthermore, if they don't take one of the discs you picked up, you're out six more dollars. Not worth it.

But not at all a bad idea to get rid of discs that are gathering dust and that you can't get much for anyplace else.


BTW, anybody seen any good secondhand DVDs coming in through this sale?

Personally, I am going to finally clean out my collection to a few favorites. I have over 300 movies and I probably won't watch 50% in the next 5 years. By that time some other format will have probably replaced DVD. I'll take $1200 credit for my movies since my average cost of the ones I would trade in are no more than $10 anyway.

I'll take $29 to do the Shrek 2 deal with 7 rentals for one.

I believe someone stated above there was a $500 trade in credit limit.

No signs at the Mountlake Terrace BBV, but the $8 per dvd is in effect thru Oct. Traded in 5 for $40. Picked up Aladdin (21.99) and another DVD.

just gave in 12 for $96 plus $8 tax, thinking about picking some more for this, the deal in my area (NY) is for 2 weeks

And I believe someone else stated that it was $500 per day, which that same person verified with his local store managers.

Its working at the Alhambra, CA store on Valley Blvd. Traded 17 and got back $136 (no tax though!). Picked up Kill Bill 1 & 2 for $20.

This is going to be great, now I can upgrade a bunch of my DVDs to SE

This may have been asked before, so bear with me...
Is the credit good at Gamerush, or is that considered a separate entity from Blockbuster? Since game prices are pretty much standard across the board, and Gamerush has some insane trade-in deals, I wouldn't mind using credit on games instead of overpriced DVDs...

Anyone know if any stores in the Knoxville TN. area are doing the $8 deal?

Okay...Here's what their flyer says:

Get at least $8 per DVD trade*

*Store credit only. $8 minimum store credit offer available for a limited time only, on DVDs otherwise eligible for trade-in in accordance with Blockbuster's standards for type of DVD, condition of DVD and packaging, all as determined by Blockbuster in it's sole discretion from time to time. DVDs with damaged cover art may be accepted by Blockbuster in its sole discretion but may receive less than $8 store credit. Must be a member and have signed a trading agreement to trade. Trades subject to DVD Trading Terms and Conditions available at store. Amount of store credit subject to change at any time without advance notice. Participating stores only. See store for full details. Offer expiration dat 11/01/04.

I was able to trade in 19 disc for $152 in store credit, which I had them put on a "value card" (same as a gift card); your other option is to have them credit your Blockbuster account.

Most of the dvd's I traded in I had purchased at yard sales from $1 - 3 and then I also had several Previously viewed Blockbuster disc (which nobody else wants).

True, their prices suck...but this is a lot more then I would have gotten elsewhere, so I'm happy.

How is that lying? Has any store that advertised $8 minimum given the customer less than $8 in credit?

They should still be able to take it. All they have to do is type in the name of the movie. I am sure Cradle to the Grave is available at BBV.

If they say no, tell them to try and type it in.

University area, the on JW Clay.


dvdsrule

Got back $327, actually $343.?? with tax back on 35-40 odd dvds.

Mostly ones bargain bin titles, PVDs, or crap from my fathers side of the family.

Money made, really.

So they're really doing this now? Excellent, I might have to get over there.

Yeah it makes no sense to me either. Pawn shops everywhere, and both EB and FYE take video game and dvd trade ins. I don't see how BlockBuster could be having a problem.
