best way to sell 200 dvds at once

[wedi42]

i need some cash to buy a house.
i don't have the time or patience to deal with selling them one at a time on ebay or the FS/FT forums.
any suggestions?

ebay all at once?

Just sell your lot of DVDs as such on ebay. One listing. Just put a decent reserve price on it. I see people doing it all the time.

sell them as 1 package on ebay, instead of splitting them up?

Or maybe split them by genre for a few auctions?

good idea....might be easier to sell in smaller subsets.

You could try your luck with the For Sale forum here too

silly, you could have just glued together the 200 DVDs and made that

That's pretty sweet. You should save the cases from the DVDs- you can add on another room.

EDIT: Iamme beat me to it. Stupid lifers and their lightning-fast replies.

Actually, I think you might do better selling your DVDs as 1 lot (or multiple lots) as opposed to individual DVDs because it seems like they're losing their value. For example, I sold a perfect copy of LotR "Two Towers" (not the expanded version or anything) on ebay about a month ago and I only got $3.95. I suppose your mileage may vary, but I was pretty disappointed. I always assumed a used DVD of a great movie should be valued around $10 at least. Of course if it's some grade B flick, then I would expect prices down that low. Ugh.

wait until you become a lifer....they give you a custom keyboard with a dedicated "REPLY" button

my "NEF" button is breaking down from overuse

Try dvdtalk.com and hometheaterforum where there are specific forums for movies

I sold 100 on ebay about a month or two ago, went for $657+ shipping, not too bad overall...

 

[DealMonkey]

Oh, and here's a good example of a DVD lot. About the same # you have (200) and he's already over $850 with around 3.5 hrs to go...

 

[bsobel]

I buy large lots, usually wind up paying (on average) about 5.00-5.50 each that way. Just passed up a lot of 2200 (a little too many at one shot for me), but would like to hear what your 200 are (pm me if your interested).

That auction shouldn't go for much more than $1000-1200, the title selection is pretty weak.
