If you happen to have the full 10 seasons of Friends, you can get around $60 plus shipping and handling on eBay. More if you have Blu-ray. Same for the LotR trilogy. My wife spent over $100 to get the trilogy on 4k, because the DVDs were almost as much.

I’m sure people here know this, but I just recently went through the effort of pricing a huge collection of DVDs and a smaller collection of Blu-ray’s. Most mainstream releases aren’t even worth the postage it costs to send them. Just in case you were getting excited by the prospect.

Yup. As with most collector’s stuff, the rare shit is the stuff that wasn’t mainstream. Everyone owned a copy of your favorite Disney movie, which means there are thousands of copies still in circulation. If you want to get the expensive stuff, you need to be lucky enough to be into the niche shit that later blew up into a cult classic; Low supply, high demand.

Oh indeed. They usually have to be limited editions to even get you more than you paid for itm

Yep. Especially if they're DVDs that have been superseded by Blurays, the DVDs are almost worthless, sadly. For example, I upgraded my Stargate Atlantis set to Bluray and want to rehome my DVDs, but they're barely worth $5 a season at this point (and that's assuming you can find a buyer). Usually I check with family and friends first to see if they want my hand-me-downs.

Unless you happen to live in Australia, that's going to be a challenge...

Dang. I’ll let you know if I plan a trip.

Probably because of the horrible acting in that case
