Is there any kind of trade/resale market for DVD bonus discs?

You know, the retailer exclusive ones that usually came shrinkwrapped to a case in a cardboard sleeve? I just found a box I had with a ton of these things in it. I know they're not that important to me to keep since I didn't even know that I had them. But are they worth anything? Or was the market pretty well saturated with these things?

You might try e-bay. If you have the BB bonus disc for From Crystal Lake To Manhattan I might be interested in it, but probably not at a price you would be too keen on.

I'd buy the DVDs complete w/ Bonus Discs if I can get them for a decent price but I doubt I'd buy the bonus discs separately. If it didn't already come with one, I'd have to buy a case to fit both and I'm not likely to do that.

I agree with SB, Ebay sounds like your best bet. -kd5-

You might also consider posting a list here on DVD Talk's trading page. Surely, you're bound to be able to connect your unwanted discs with some of the OCD collectors in this community.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The only people who would pay anything decent for these things are the truly obsessed, and you're already in the right place to find them.

That's probably my plan. I just wanted to check first before potentially embarrassing myself with a list of useless trinkets.

If you have the Smallville Season 5 Bonus disc from Best Buy, I'd be interested.

I will keep my eyes peeled to the exchange forum, but for the record, would love to have copies of these bonus disks:

Lost Season 1 (Best Buy)
Lost Season 2 (Best Buy)
The Golden Compass (Target)
any from Star Trek: TOS (all Best Buy, I believe)

Re: Is there any kind of trade/resale market for DVD bonus discs?

I've sold some bonus discs on ebay. Usually they go for like $5-10.

I think there's a market for bonus discs it's just hard to find the fans. I have had a hard enough time completing my collection so far.

I think most would buy bonus discs separate since more often than not, they just come in a plain white sleeve stuffed somewhere in a regular release. I have seen releases where the casing is completely different to make room for the bonus disc, but that was only The Office Season 4 and 5.
