8 Dollars trade-in for all DVD's at Blockbuster

[manofpeace20]

I went to Starbucks this morning and I saw a big sign on the front window of Blockbuster that said "8 dollars trade in value on all DVD's". This is a pretty good value unless you are looking to rid boxed sets or those pricey rare editions. However, I passed 3 blockbusters on the way to school, and only 2 had the special. Not sure if it is coincidence, but the ones that have the special do not have a Gamerush.

...if only i had waited 2 weeks...argh...

thanks for the heads up

[manofpeace20]

Well today is 10/5, and it was the first time I saw the sign for this special. For the uninformed like myself, this is a wonderful thing.

[hutno]

no prob, just a heads up

[slidecage]

man if people knew about this 10 days ago the overstock movies would of flew 10x faster (buy them for 2 sell them for 8 ) ours is having it here what is kind of werid since if you want to double your money you can. Pawn shops sells 5 DVDS for 20 Take the to Blockbuster sell them for 40 ez 20 bucks. Bad thing is if Block dont want the movies your out 20 bucks.

[bradr]

Last time I was in there, they sold DVD movies at this dollar store by my house. Crappy titles like "Laser Mission" and some old, old Westerns. They weren't in the DVD cases, just some cardboard sleeve with the picture and info on them. I didn't look too closely, wonder if they were boots?

[slidecage]

they are real Dvds but real crappy dvds. Walmart has them now too.. I doubt Blockbuster will take them since the things they take "have to be something they have in the store: that is what they said on phone

[doubledown]

Yeah, I have a large DVD collection and I was thinking about trading some in...however, you only get STORE CREDIT or they will just credit your account. And the DVD's at BlockBuster always seem to be WAY overpriced. So, it's good if you have some cheap DVD's lying around....however, you still have to buy something there.

[manofpeace20]

I got 48 dollars off some DVD's today. I asked them to place it on a giftcard, and I took it to a Gamerush and got the Mortal kobat Kollectors edition for dirt cheap.

[doubledown]

Oh, I was not sure if you could use the BB GiftCard at GameRush...I would assume yes since both are under the same roof.

Maybe I will trade in a few DVD's. Like the House PArty Trilogy I picked up dirt cheap a while back :lol:

[cyberlian]

When I was trading in dvds yesterday, They game me a new bb value card instead of just using my gamerush value card...I still think you can use them interchangably though

[doubledown]

Thanks....now what to get rid of. I actually just filled up my rack of over 300 DVD's.....so I should either
A.) Buy a new rack
B.) weed out the not-so-good titles

[Wshakspear]

weed out the bad titles, and get stuff you can actually use.

[dracula]

weed out the bad titles, and get stuff you can actually use.

good advice, it will free up space and you will get junk you actually want.

[danh920]

i just called my BB about this and they state that none of the stores in my county are doing this deal

I suppose there's not a list of the stores running this promo is there?

What state do you guys live in before I waste my time going by Blockbuster.

[OGHowie]

Just heard this deal on the radio here in California (LA County) so I'm pretty sure it's a go here.

it's definitely a go in SoCal b/c i traded in some dvd's on tuesday :)

[Trakan]

Good at about 10 locations in WI.

[captaincold]

FYI

The lady said the only Dvd's they accept are the one's that are in there computer.

If u goto blockbuster.com u can see all of the movies in there system.
I got $40 total for the following movies:

Hannibal
Chris Rock: Best of Saturday Night Live
Pee Wees Big Adventure
Night of the Living Dead 1968 version
Thirteen Ghosts

Tacoma,WA

[cyberlian]

I just go to the pawn shop accross the street pick up 3 for $10 (no tax) then boom those 3 make 24 dollars trade in credit... So far I've made a few of these trips needless to say...

[manofpeace20]

I'm in Texas, and I noticed it is only the non-Gamerush locations that are doing this deal.

[Gojtron]

Hmm, I'll call mine, I didn't even know they took trades. That Akuma controller looks tempting for 3 crappy movies.

[Wshakspear]

The ad for this is running on most local radio stations, so SE Michigan seems covered. GR and non-GR

[cyberlian]

Confirmed! In my area both GR and non-GR are doing the $8 dvd trading...

[doubledown]

Yeah, I was at my BB (with GameRush) and I saw a BIG ASS sign advertising this. I have about 9 old DVD's I'm trading in today or tomorrow.

Hopefully I can use my BB Gift Card for a GameRush game.

damn I love this, I just traded in a pile of crappy dvd's and got the new Mortal combat and pre-ordered GT4

Putting your name to good use right then :)

Anyways, the answer is yes, yes you can.

[epobirs]

Hmm, K-mart has a bunch of $4 DVDs.Some of them are prominent enough titles to surely be in BB's system.

[evilmojo12542]

hmmmm gives me a good idea thanks! I could get the resident evil in january pre-ordered

[cyberlian]

This $8 dvd trade-in is one of my favorite deals
(over $500 on this deal alone)

[daria19]

How long are they running this deal? Do you think that they might be getting the new pstwo in stock at blockbuster?

[monsoon man]

I think the deal is going on till Mid November. That could change though. Man blockbuster's online library is definetly gonna increase with all these DVD and gamerush promotions. Also don't completely rely on blockbusters online library. I was able to turn in two dvd's not in their online catalog. They were The Rock the people's champ and WWE Judgement Day.

Somebody came in the pawn shop yesterday and apparently bought ALL of these "bargin" dvds... Probably like 400 of them...

[Gameboy415]

On a related note, I saw a sign at a BB by me (Chi-town) that said "Up to $35 trade-in for your games!"

*Shrug*

[Nephets]

I'm in Texas, and I noticed it is only the non-Gamerush locations that are doing this deal.

That is not true, every BB around here basically has a GR, and all of them do the deal.

And, I also managed to trade in a few DVD's that weren't in their systems and got 8 bucks for them, it's just a YMMV case if they take them or not, I suppose. They just really want inventory so that is why they are doing this, and I am positive they'll get tons of DVD's this way.

[ryosnk]

On a related note, I saw a sign at a BB by me (Chi-town) that said "Up to $35 trade-in for your games!"

*Shrug*

Which BB because I live in Chicago also and would like to go check it out? Also have you gone inside and check out the deals in BB (to see if it is even worth going)?

[dpatel]

i dont know if any of you have heard of "movie trading company" but they are a small branch of blockbuster. You can use your giftcards there. They have much better prices and a huge selection.

[Trakan]

Anyone know if BB carries the MK: Deception Premium Pack? (PS2) I'd call, but they're closed.

It was the Blockbuster on Division over by Bar Chicago (right near the Clark/Division red line stop). And no I didn't go in b/c I was with a bunch of friends and we were on our way to the bar. I'll try to stop in sometime later this week if I can.

saw it at kimball and irving park today. just drove past it didnt go in. anyone know which chicago BB sell gaming systems?

[doubledown]

This deal is great...already traded in 13 DVD's (a lot could be had for $5 new....like The Smokers, Suicide Kings, The Fog....and a few others)

I now have $250 credit on my GameRush giftcard. I think I may have to invest in a game or two now. I was thinking of saving my credit for the Nintendo DS, but not sure if I really NEED a handheld gaming system....probably not.

[hutno]

Does anyone in MA know of any store doing this?

[Trakan]

Just call up some local BB's, or just take a ride and go to them :D


Anyways, BB does carry the MK: Deception Premium Pack. I picked it up today with credit I got from some crappy DVD's. :D

[dnt_h8me2]

didn't someone post all the movies blockbuster have in their system?
is so, plz post again because im too lazy to find it.

[cyberlian]

I doubt it, the list would probably have like 10,000 movies in it...

[cyberlian]

holy crap, that is definitly out of my price range (although it is not a bad deal for someone with some extra cash lying around that wants $10,000 blockbuster trade in credit...)

[doubledown]

Actually 350 DVD's x $8 = $2800 in credit. Although, you would need to keep going back as I think it's a $500 limit (a day?) on trading

My bad, math was never my strong point... and the cards only hold $500

[jshorr]

Try www.blockbuster.com

Their website doesn't have close to all of the movies in their system.....I have traded in many that are not on their website.

[doubledown]

Anyone try trading in one of the $15 BOX-SETS from Amazon.com and see what they get?

I'm curious to see if they give you more than $8 credit.

[Nephets]

That's a good suggestion, my Amazon sets just shipped yesterday, and while I don't plan on selling either of them, I am curious to see what certain boxsets get in credit.

[monsoon man]

You aren't going to get that much..

24 Season One $20
Alias Season One $20

That should give you an idea on what you will get. The highest box set in the flyer is I Love Lucky season 1 $35.

[Masterkyo]

I trade-in more than 40+. Only 9 DVD's not accepted by computer. So, I endup to Wharehouse music Trade-in 6 get 2 Free (Get Lion King 2 & Aladdin for Free). I may take the last 3 DVD's to Gamestop for trade-in 3 get 1 Free (SPiderman 2 or Shrek 2)

:)

[sblymnlcrymnl]

You aren't going to get that much..

24 Season One $20
Alias Season One $20

Which pisses me off because they rented and sold the discs individually when they came out. So it should be 6x$8 = $48.

[Rig]

I haven't been to BB in quite some time. Is this deal still going on? If so, I will head down there tomorrow after picking up some crap DVD's at Wal-Mart.

[hiccupleftovers]

So did they take in those dollar store dvds? Was anybody allowed too?

[hiccupleftovers]

How long does this go for and what is the cheapest dvd you can get at Walmart :D?

[Ragingbull2380]

I traded in Shrek and Shindler's List and they gave me 16.99 in credit for each...

[doubledown]

Thanks for the prices....looks like I will keep them, or eventually EBAY them after watching. I find I rarely rewatch BIG television series like that anyways, not Greg The Bunny or the Simpsons I could watch over and over.

[monsoon man]

No problem, those were the prices listed on their October 2004 flyer. It's on the back of the "Get an extra $5 for game" thing. If anyone wants to to list the rest I can, but you aren't going to find any good deals. Highest like I said is I love lucky season 1-$35.

[manofpeace20]

I bought crap DVDs at Walmart that I knew they would take and sold them. They seemed pretty pissed after that, but I honestly don't give a shit.

[jntznjamz]

if the dvd is listed on the BB website, does that mean they take it?

[Medium_Pimpin]

My local BB stopped carrying videogame systems.

Anyone know of a store in or around seattle that still has some and supports this deal?

[Fanboy]

Was in Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY on the weekend, and while Erie had the sale going on, none of the Buffalo stores did!

Does anyone know of any stores in Western NY that have the $8 trade-in?

[jshorr]

if the dvd is listed on the BB website, does that mean they take it?

Not necessarily. 2 I tried that were on the website were rejected. The store scanned the barcode and also allegedly looked manually and couldn't find either. I called another store and they found one of the 2 in the system over the phone. I haven't actually gotten to go in and trade it yet. Looks like YMMV.

[jntznjamz]

bought this random 2 pack DVD for 5.50 at walmart and tried to trade it in. first store didnt take it, but i then went to another BB and they took both for 8.00 each. score one for me.

[ArchangelOfWar]

I'm looking to take advantage of this deal tomorrow at an Ocala FL BB. They've had a sign inside the store saying a GameRush is coming, but who knows. I'll find out tomorrow..

[doubledown]

This is still going on, right? I have like 3 or 4 movies that I could trade in. I forgot that my fiance and I had some of the same DVD's, plus I think I may get rid of F13th and eventually get the boxset....since I only own the first one (from the set that is)

[fragmanslayer]

They wouldnt take Kiss of the Dragon or Natural Born Killers Director's Cut... dammit.

[doubledown]

when does this deal end?

I'm going to trade in F13th - PT1 and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (since new versions are out for both...or will be soon)

[Vicious]

Hey guys does this deal end on the first?

[ArchangelOfWar]

Well, my BB just started this deal, so I don't know when. But as far as my progress on the deal went, I had to hold off on trading in everything, because my local BB was undergoing some renovations:

the store has (meaning, completed. It's done as I type) added a GAMERUSH.

WHOO!! :D

[buster90]

This has to be the worst deal ever. I went yesterday with 5 DVD"s to trade and the manager said they can no longer accept DVD trades this day cause some guy traded in 187 DVD's an hour ago. He said come back tomorrow.


Well here I am...and the computer would not take Behind Enemy Lines, Vertical Limit, or 3000 Miles to Graceland. The only DVD's they took were Hellboy and Man on Fire.

THis deal sucks it seems Blockbuster will only take DVD"s less than one year old.

[projecteightysix]

keep your fast times at ridgemont high dvd.

well, you must have had a strict BB, because mine took all my "over 1 year old DVD's"

Also, the NEW Fast Times DVD has DTS sound....but yes, it is essentially the SAME DVD. Although, you can get the 2-pack of that with Dazed for $20...so it is worth it. Although, Dazed is lacking on ANYTHING.....which is disappointing

[dpatel]

don't know if this has been said or not but today is the last day for the $8 minumum. At least at my local BB.
