    Default How much for DVDs at a garage sale?

    I'm selling off the rest of my DVDs at a garage sale Saturday, was thinking $3 each. What'cha think? Too low, too high?

    If they're in good condition (which I think they will be) and popular titles, I think $3-5 is a real good deal.

    For the non-popular ones, I'd say $1-2.

    Would you like to make money or get rid of stuff. It is an inverse relationship.
    At $5 bucks - you make money - at $1 people will take more risks and buy DVDs they normally wouldn't.

    I also advertise an alternate price for all of them together..........although this will need to be adjusted as your sale continues and some DVDs start to go individually.....

    yeah, 3-5 is about what I paid for all mine, and then I put up a CL ad "instant DVD collection" and sold the whole rackfull. made a little over 2.00 each. I realized I hardly ever watched any of them, they were just collecting dust. I kept the classics that get watched a lot, like the Monty Pythons, Pulp Fiction, Lord of the Rings, etc.
    Main 2ch:
    Hafler dh-110 pre
    Adcom 535 mkII
    Magnepan SMG-A
    Bose 501 sub w/o the satellites (don't laugh, I'm looking for a real sub I can afford)
    Technics TT Don't remember model
    Playstation PS-1000 as CDP

    Second 2ch:
    Pioneer SX-828 used as Pre/tuner
    Rotel rb-850
    Polk Model 10-A (Great Bass, no sub)

    I'd like to sell them here but I'd get close to the same price at the garage sale and I'd have no packing costs, shipping costs, and the time spent at the post office. Sorry guys but I just want to dump these and go...

    He has the right to ask whatever price he wants. Ron's been a member here long enough that I'm sure he doesn't need the advice of some 'low baller' with <200 posts.

    Keiko's a good man in my book as well as with the rest of Polk forum, don't bring that kind of crap on someone else's thread and don't 'tell' someone what they should offer their goods for.

    Ron, goodluck with the sale!
    I'll have to grab a few from you if I see some good titles :D

    Fine here. Thanks for your concern...You, on the other hand have some issues. ;)

    Did I miss a memo somewhere, appointing you as a mod?
