I have about 150 dvds (maybe more) that I need to sell off. I'm planning on throwing them on ebay. Should I put them up as a lot? I haven't had too much luck with lots lately. I don't like putting reserves up and I don't want to get stuck letting them go for something low like $75. Any suggestions? By the way, they're all different region 1 dvds. Some from 1981 all the way up to 2006.

honeslty i'd say trade them in somewhere. you might not get as much but you might get more than selling them as a lot, plus shipping individual dvds would be a pain in the ass.

unless you have relatively rare stuff (oop, or criterions) i'd say trading them in somewhere might be your best bet.

A lot will net you more, you can be a jerk with shipping (like everyone else on Ebay), and individual sales won't sell most of the crappy or common titles, so I recommend a lot highlighting the more interesting titles in your selection.

Here's what I'd do:

First, find DVDs that have stuff in common. Look for sequels and prequals, you know, series related stuff. Maybe you have a bunch of Kubrick films you could sell in a pack. Try to get rid of a lot of stuff in lots, but make sure they're related.

Otherwise you're better off taking them to Gamestop or something. I know, I hate Gamestop trade-in values as much as anyone and you'll probably get a whole like $3 for every DVD, but its better than nothing.
