Selling the DVD's and got a big surprise...

Since we're in the process of downsizing I began listing my blu-rays and DVD's. What I've sold has pretty much gone like I've expected. Not getting what I paid for with most which is okay. A few are collectable so I made a bit of money with those.

Now, here's the shocker.

I have Here Come The Brides Season 1 on DVD.

On ebay it's running from $169 to $400! On Amazon for used it's $398!

Who would pay that much money for one season on DVD? I was floored. I can't even imagine listing it for that much!

I think I'll list it for $50 and see what happens. I only paid $20 for this when it came out.

I saw it earlier. Those are fairly worthless to collectors.

I was looking for an out-of-print book, and I found it on Amazon for $122.00. And I don't have that kind of money, so I looked on eBay, and the exact same book was $11.99. Guess which one I bought?

8. Put in the listing that you're "taking bids" on this item or list it as "Best Offer",

I've been collecting for years and I've paid a pretty penny for some rare ones, but never this high. I don't expect anyone else to do that either. I set it much lower than anywhere else. Hopefully it sells.

I winnowed out my DVD collection by selling them at my brother's garage sale. I didn't think to check online for any going prices, I was just making space on the overstuffed shelves. My sales pitch was, "One for three bucks, two for five bucks, three for . . . five bucks. See where this is going? Choose as many as you want, and we'll work out a fair price."

12. I'm sure I'll be practically giving a bunch away when we do our sale...

I have a lot of 4K movies and steelbooks. All of those that I'm not keeping are going to ebay. I've been collecting for a while.

I'm having to separate the ones that I know aren't worth a lot and will hope to get something out of them. We have a local store that buys some used that I might get a few bucks out of.

I'll have some leftover after the kids and friends pick through them. Then I'll donate what's left to our local library. That could still be quite a few.

Yes, I have over 1100 blu-rays, DVD's, steelbooks and 4K movies and tv shows. LOL
