So I bit the bullet and ordered sets #1 and #2 of the new Bond discs.

Now of course I'd like to sell my older DVDs, etc.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna auction them on ebay, but I'm wondering if I should do it disc by disc- or the entire set all at once. I don't have every movie (I'm missing 4 or 5 of the particularly bad ones) so it might not be as appetizing as a complete set. At the same time people might feel they're getting more of a bargain if they get several discs at the same time, etc.

I know I'll never make back the $$$ I'll pay for the new discs, but I'm hoping to get a wee bit back and also hoping to see the old discs go to a good home. They served me well and I'd hate to see them go unloved and unwatched.

Anyhow, anyone have any opinions on how to auction these, the best method, etc? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I assure you.

I don't know that it's the best method, but putting them up on craigslist is another idea. I sold all 20 as a set a few months ago and got more than what it's costing to rebuy the new releases. Although I doubt you'd get those kind of prices now since the new ones are already out.

Hi,

I sold mine (I had 10 individual titles) separately on amazon.com, which is a painless way to do it. EBay is fine, but I have heard that their fees have gone up over the years to the point that it isn't as worth the trouble, but I certainly wouldn't rule them out. Read up on amazon.com and half.com policies to see if you like those routes. You will at least know what you will get for them. By selling mine early (around September) I got just about enough to cover the cost of all four sets. Different titles will fetch different amounts. Best of luck.

Never thought of Amazon, that's a great idea. Thanks!

Or you can buy those shrinkwrap kits from Ebay which seal around the DVDs by using a hairdryer, then give them away as Christmas presents.

Amazon is a good way to sell stuff, but also expensive - since they charge 99 cents to list and then they take a percentage once the item is sold, AND they don't allow you enough for shipping charges either.

I've found eBay is a better way to go since you can control the shipping charges.

You might want to check out how much they sell for on Amazon in comparison to final selling prices on ebay so you can determine which site you'll get better money for them on. That's what I do when I sell stuff on either site.

Listing on Amazon.com is free. Selling there is better than ebay, since DVD prices have dropped because of all the bootleg copies that they are allowing.

Amazon charges non pro merchants an extra 99 cents when it sells. It is free to list.

I sell all my DVD's on Half.com, but Amazon is also good. I wouldn't bother with eBay unless you're expecting to get collectible prices for them ($25+ each).
