Right, except these are not bootlegs.
I’m just saying, stacked in spindles, they might as well be.
I agree. It’s like any type of collectible, without the packaging the value goes down drastically.
Well geeze. You should have said that up front.
You’d have to pay me to cart them away. Without cases how you supposed to store them? How do you keep them from scratching? How can you find the one you want in any reasonable time frame?
I gotta say, if I saw someone on Craig’s List trying to sell a large number of mainstream DVDs without cases and for a low price, I’d wonder if they would toss in the crowbar used to pry open the Redbox. (Not accusing the OP of that.)
Laziness has nothing to do with it. It the cost. I might watch the occasional movie twice but for the most part, I watch everything once. Why pay for a DVD or Blu-Ray when I can for the price of one or two of those things have one month of access to all of Netflix screening and two discs at a time. Huge DVD collections are an absurd waste of money for most user cases? The biggest exception is probably little kids who love to watch the same thing over and over.
I’ll give you a dollar for Platoon.
If he gave me ten dollars, I’d take Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever off his hands.
I’d be wearing oven mitts and using tongs, of course, to minimize the amount of time it’s on MY hands.
So I broke in the Red Box? nice. :rolleyes:
None of my DVDs are stolen. That are from years of accumulations. Some I bought new online, some from Walmart and some from the pawn shops.
That’s ok, I’ll keep 'em. There may be a chance I don’t have net/Netflix anymore and I have two players (one is a recorder) to play 'em.
I hate TV because of the ads. These are the collections and I’ve sold 100s of them in the past.
This is my take, too. Once my son outgrew the multiple viewing stage of little kid-dom, I had no need to own any media. I can’t fathom having hundreds of DVDs cluttering up my place.
And incidentally, my mom works at an indoor flea market kind of place, and they can’t give DVDs and CDs away.
Really? I like the movie so I’ll keep it instead. :rolleyes:
But… but… your growth!
Eh, the only reason I buy physical media anymore is if it’s both something I really like and it has enough special features to justify the price. Otherwise it’s a streaming service or Netflix disc rental. I do buy the Game of Thrones Blu-rays.

Near me there are 3-4 used media places that pay cash or store credit for used books, CDs , DVDs, video games. That is where I would take such a collection.
That being said, I have also seen them reject a lot of DVDs because they simply have too many copies of popular movies in stock.
I enjoy not having to find a place for the DVD player. We’re also down a game system or two and the front room is less cluttered.
I did a similar bulk-buy in the past. We loaded up the boxes in the car, took a few moments to pull out the 20 or so we wanted to keep, then dropped the rest at Goodwill on the way home.
The OP has ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ on the list, so I immediately trust him as a reputable seller with impeccable integrity.
Would they take them if they weren’t in the original boxes and were on a big spindle?
A public library or senior center might, if they host a weekly “movie night.”
Well, a group planning a mass DVD burning as a demonstration of rejection of American culture might appreciate it as well.
What’s the Iranian equivalent of Craigslist?
