Dvd trade in values
 
Hey everybody,

Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience trading in dvd's to stores for cash? I was thinking of heading down to Rasputins or Streetlight records, but thought I may get some feedback on here first. I know now that we are in the age of blu-rays, dvd's be in limited demand, but I thought I'd get rid of some of them anyways and clear the space. I have some good stuff to trade as well...Batman animated series seasons sets, Inglorious Basterds, X-men dvd collection. If I could get $2-5 each for some of these, I'd actually be pretty satisified. Anyone tried this before?

I just did a cleaning out of my DVDs and I got reasonable prices for them all. I ended up with a few hundred to my surprise. Street Light is your best best. They have way better trade in value then Rasputin. I only take stuff SL won't to Rasputin.

Thanks Spit, that really helps. I'll definitely be taking them to streetlight this afternoon then. Do you remember any kinda average per dvd? I'm taking in about fifteen comic book/anime/cartoon dvd's, and hoping to walk out with at least thirty bucks.

Shouldn't be a problem. I got at least 5 if not a bit more per film DVD. TV set should net you more, especially newer ones like X-men.

Which Street Light are you going to?

I've been using this site recently:

http://www.swapadvd.com

Any DVDs that I want to outright sell and feel I can get $10 or more for I list for sale on Amazon.com. The results aren't immediate, so if that's what you're looking for it's not a great option, but I've been very happy with the results I've gotten from both sites.

Sometimes I forget how helpful everyone on this site can be. Thanks Rose, and Spit, I am going to the one in my hometown of Santa Cruz. Were you referring to the San Jose location?

Yeah I go to the one in Campbell. It's right next to a Rasputin. I used to go to the Santa Cruz one when my Dad lived there. The Rasputin in San Fran is junky and you have to ride in this smelly elevator to check the whole store out so I avoid it like the plague, plus like I mentioned they have better trade in at Street Light.

You were right. I got eleven dollars for only a few old dvds. Unfortunately, they weren't willing to take the majority of what I had. I set up an actual appointment at a place called "Logo's" on Thursday lol. I guess I'll have to see what they can give me there.

Wow that's odd they didn't want your other stuff. They might have too many though. I was surprised when I traded in a bunch that they didn't take my LOTR Extended editions, I traded those in over at Rasputin. Never heard of Logos but good luck. Hope you can net something worthwhile.
