To want to sell my old DVDs

[NCasOuting22]

I’m trying to have a clear out and have tried using music magpie and we buy books to sell my dvds but all the bar codes that I scan are met with a “sorry we’re not accepting this at the moment”.

does anyone know anywhere that I can sell/recycle old dvds?

thank you

We’ve had more luck with Ziffit than music magpie when clearing houses of deceased relatives

Yes, and I buy (used) Dvds. Don't watch all that often and don't want to pay every month regardless.

i still prefer box sets of tv series on dvd , that said they sell for minimal usually

I still have 500 DVD but they are in folders so take up little space. I have a games console they can be played on.

Not sure you will have much joy selling them, but Anglo Doorstep Collections will take DVDs. I have a collection booked for next week and I have two boxes of DVDs ready to go.

It would break his heart to hear the comments

😂😂 He can still watch them. Whether others do or don't won't affect him.

Well yes he can, for now but it won’t be long before DVD players become obsolete as did video players.

This. I got 50p for ten DVDs.

I had hundreds of DVDs and looked at selling them but I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the time and effort for the pennies you get now.

In the end, to make more space I bought some of those 100 capacity cd wallets, got rid of the cases and put them in those. They take up hardly any room now, and sometimes take them on holiday or something.

My local tip has a recycling bin for cds and dvds

Am I the only dinosaur who still watches DVDs? I love a good rummage in charity shops for DVDs and also CDs!

You are several years too late if you want to sell them.

A care home might appreciate them for residents.

I have many. £5 a pop? 😉

Our local charity shop sells them for 10p each, and even they aren't accepting them anymore.

No, you are not the only one!
I still watch DVDs, and occasionally VHS tapes. And I listen to CDs.

No market for them now really. Can't give them away it seems, !

I still buy DVDs. Not everything is on streaming services and even the things that are may not be there forever - things quite often disappear from streaming. I want to be able to watch the things I like easily without having to search round to find which streaming service they’re on. I also like the extras you get on DVDs - backstage footage, deleted scenes, cast commentary etc. None of that is available on streaming services.

I don't think anyone is saying you shouldn't watch them, just that there is no real second hand market for DVDs now. That's because most people aren't really interested anymore.

I've had success giving them away as a job lot on Freecycle, maybe worth a try.

This!

Also mum's care home had loads, maybe OP you can donate there.

Please pass back to your friend that I love my local CEX store - Kent. Staff are friendly and so helpful to an oldie (ie over 40) who doesnt really know what they are doing with modern tech anymore. My DC wanted a new phone - and we looked at CEX - lots available, lots of options. But I panicked not buying new but still several £100. So I went in - lovely chat with the manager - showed me their massive checklist, and a 2 year warranty. I bought with total confidence.

The point of me posting this on this thread is to say when I tried to sell DVDs, phones, old ipads - the testing was strong and consistent. The store was so clear what they could take (a few old DVDs, a couple of other bits) but what they wouldn't take and why. I appreciate the clarity - it is very helpful.

You could call local schools or nurseries as sometimes they have fun days where they can watch a film
