I traded a ton of DVDs and movies in...

Dyne · 08-26-2009, 03:39 AM

and I got $110.

It's all stuff I wasn't watching. Star Wars movies, the Hulk, and a bunch of other stuff.

TV show DVDs:

House season 2, 3, 4
Office Season 3
British Office (it's not funny.)
24 season 5 (although it's the best)

But yeah. Not bad. I could even trade some more stuff. Buying shit like this originally was just placeholder until I could get my favourites. Now I have a bit of every genre, along with my favourites.

It's mostly to make room for Blu-rays anyways. Hahaha.

Where did you trade em in at?
May do this to trim down my collection a bite.

Hard to manage, and don't watch most of them.

Just at the local store, mostly music. I own 34 now, not including TV shows. Hahah. I could definitely trim further.

I never sell anything.

What Typhoid said.

I just don't buy DVDs until I know I really like the movie. And I think other people should see it too.

Of course I've made some mistakes. I've thrown away The Librarian 2. I traded Chronicles of Narnia 1 for Cloverfield. I'm not too fond of The Butterfly Effect anymore.

I've also been selling some games. Metroid Prime 3 for €19, and some Cube games. Oh and Michael Jackson - Blood on the dance floor for €4.50.

My bro and I own like 40 NES games, 25 SNES, 25 N64, 30 Cube, 6 Wii, 15 AGB and some DMG. Most of them we bought as an investment. For our collection, only to sell off at one point.

But then the Wii virtual console came out. If people can download the game for €5 onto their Wii, why would they bother with the cartridge original? Prices have gone down. Now is as good a time as any to sell off our games.

Now I just want to save the really good games (usually Nintendo-made). I don't care for the rest... I guess I should trade them in at a store, because selling them one by one takes too much time.

A year ago I also started to realize that I just did not have enough time to play all the good games I own. I wanted to replay Eternal Darkness, but that would take time that I didn't have. Resident Evil 1 and 0 were games I was still interested in.
I decided to sell them. I make around €15 per game, which isn't bad at all. They were collecting dust in my closet anyway.

I'm slowly working on getting a Drobo (after satisfying some medical bills) and then hook it to my router since it has a USB port that allows it to be shared over the network for this purpose. One big media server. Just too cluttering to keep DVD's. Rarely will I buy a DVD. Last one was Dark Knight only because that movie was worth buying for me.

I'm not sure I can even begin to explain how false that is.

British Humor is not for everybody, what with their homely women and all.

I love Fawlty Towers. Sometimes I enjoy Monty Python, sometimes I don't. Really depends on your mood.
Keeping Up Appearances is also pretty good.

Can't think of many other British shows I've seen.
