    A sale like that is a movie lover's dream! I would have spent at least an hour digging through those stacks. Just had a sale myself last weekend, only had a handful of people even look at the movies. Sold an 18-gallon tote of DVDs at the end of the sale for $5. It has become very niche with streaming.
    Also, Nuka is named after Fallout?

    I answered an ad on Facebook Marketplace that had a full garage and outside full of DVDs and blu-rays and I picked up around 800 movies which includes multi-feature box sets for 250CAD and around 100 of those movies I traded in for over 3 grand worth of other movies I wanted. So basically 12x the return and 700 movies for free minus gas and time looking through the cases.

    As a general question, May I ask how you ship? I assume media? Do you sell with free shipping or charge shipping? It kills me seeing listings for DVDs at like $3.99 free shipping. Even at free COG that seems to be selling at a loss.
    I also buy dvd collections and try to stay around $.12 each co side ring how many may be multi discs and incomplete or just missing disks altogether
    Nice haul. I might have went for the cds and records as well.

Some people have 1 million DVDs they put 10 different prices and they’ve got 10 different copies so if you do this, you’re gonna lose your house now if you got $100,000 and you’re doing it as a side hustle on Ebay and gold Diamond art if that’s your main business you’re fine. Some of these movies will sit a year😢 so if you can pick these up for five cents each OK maybe you’ll sell them for a buck or two but there’s no money in this get a nice gold chain for $20 and sale it for 1000. There’s over 500 garage sales each week and everybody’s area. If you’ve got 50 years experience, maybe you can venturing to DVDs as a side hustle on top of your main hustle. And yes, and I mean yes everybody buys DVDs and everybody gets burned on DVDs. It’s a rookie mistake. Please don’t make a rookie mistake.
