Good price to pay for DVDs

[newtree]

I have a source that will sell me DVDs for $3.50 a piece. The seller is the owner of a video rental store. So, the dvds are used, but she has the one of the best collections in Chicago.

Does anyone know if this is a good price to pay? I was considering purchasing some, but I wasn't sure if I would be getting a good deal?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

it would all depend on where and how you are selling them.The years of the movies and titles. I would look into how you will be selling them and how other people do as well as how much others sell them for. I know that on ebay most dvds seem to sell cheap in big lots and sometimes they are new.

Not a good deal.

One of the big reasons is that with used dvd there are many problems.
I remember renting from blockbuster many of there dvd's freeze up or pause too many times during play.

also note that they will scratches. on them. and like gamer-cool said it all depends on how you can sell them.

ebay-you will prob have a lot of returns.
fleamarket and craigslist you could get away.

The best price i think on used dvd's are $1 or less but good titles. most people just rent them now adays and burn them.

I dont know if you have heard of it but now they have $1 movie rentals in vending machines here in texas and maybe other places.

If you are purchasing DVDs from personal collections I would say ~ $2 is an average price to pay. For ex-rentals I wouldnt pay more than $1.25 each (and you will need to purchase a DVD repair machine - I recommend a JFJ machine because they work well and are ~ $200 on ebay). To fix a scratched disc you are looking at ~ 30 cents for repair solution and labor.

So I would not pay more than $2 per DVD (unless they are rare titles). You should be able to find them on ebay for $2 each in lots of ~100-250 at a time.

I got a new source to buy things from and something they posted up today was salvage Movies they were perviously used. they have 2.5million movies. I can send a manifest for this.

The way they are tho is 20,000 or so of each, From (Hollywood Entertainment). I know that they are taking offers and wil let you pick your titles. so really you can get at maybe 2-5cents a dvd if they accept that offer, but the thing is that you must buy a truck load which holds 160,000 dvds.
That can come to roughly 5000-9000 deliverd.

I was looking at the list they have good titles. 306 titles total that were released from 2006 to 2008

Ask me for the manifest.

its comming out of Portland Oregon. Im sure more posting for other movies are soon to come I will keep you all updated. 


I dont want anything out of this if you are intrested then give me a offer and I will let them know I want to build loyalty with these companies so if I can show them that I buy lot then they are going to take even my low offers.

Sunil, please send me the manifest for the DVDs.

newtree, your price is not good if you are planning on selling on eBay. You can get walmart loads of DVDs for about $2.00 each. On a side note, in my experience SIMO is probably the best disc cleaning machine in the market. You can get it off of eBay. We used to use those machines when I was in the business of selling video game disks on eBay and they worked perfectly.

Hey Sunil,
I'd also like a copy of the manifest.

that load is no more posted so Im sure someone already bought it so it really no point if i send the list now.

I will try to post new things up as soon as they come availabe.

Note that many things they have are (Make Offer)  or fixed price

Currently they have new walmart goods.
The pallest have smoke and water damaged.
Nice stuff 7 lcd tv's and variou other things let me know if you want manifest and you must make a resonable offer.


This is a reverelogistic company simiar to what genco does.


Let me know if you want me to email you things as soon as they are available, also this is big investments involved.

they are all by truckloads and investment from 5Ksmall load-50k+ for larger. so really I want to find buyers along those lines.
