Where to buy DVDs for bargain prices?
I've seen some threads on here about people unloading collections of CDs, often collected by themselves years ago or by their parents who have now passed (condolences).
Curious if anyone knows where I can buy DVDs for bargain prices? Like CDs, DVDs have fallen out of popularity with the advancement of streaming technology. Curious if there are places that I can buy large quantities of DVDs for good prices. Not sure I will but I would like to look into it some more. Would prefer to buy a collection than piecemeal, but want a collection of "good" movies rather than "B-rated" movies.

Go to a library, they are usually selling used stuff. Unless you are in a bigger city, you may not have that big of a quantity though.

Not super helpful, but I am a garage sale visitor. I see thousands of DVDs and CDs for pennies at most of them.
Re: Where to buy DVDs for bargain prices?
There are sellers on https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... d&_sacat=0 that offer lots of 40+ used DVDs at attractive prices. Looks to be grab bags of who knows what. Perhaps you could contact one of the sellers and get quantity prices for 100+ with a guarantee of no duplicates. If you want to be selective you likely will have to visit thrift shops, used book stores, and maybe "Friends of the Library sales" to see if something strikes your fancy. If you're selective costs per DVD will be much higher.
The closest helping hand is at the end of your own arm.

Thrift shops, eBay.

Garage sales, Facebook Marketplace. $.05 to tops $1.50/ea.

eBay is the place. Include the words bulk or lot in your search.

But as a caution, I've had DVDs from libraries that were scratched and had play errors. I guess some people don't treat the borrowed DVDs very nicely as there were often visible scratches on the DVDs.runninginvestor wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 7:48 pm Go to a library, they are usually selling used stuff.

Garage sales for sure. Never more than a buck for a DVD and lots of time you can make an offer on the entire bunch and they will gladly accept.

I've had the same issue when borrowing DVDs from the active circulation of any library of which I've been a member and that's definitely the case with me, especially when we had the cheap Best Buy Insignia brand DVD player.Da5id wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 11:10 pmBut as a caution, I've had DVDs from libraries that were scratched and had play errors.

I have gotten some good ones at the Goodwill, including Interstellar recently.
