[@redlinelude7]

As soon as I saw the intro I hit subscribe. Love the 90s vibes! I recently got back into reselling and mostly DVD's, I've been getting daily sales for the past several weeks. I put probably more effort than I should into my listings, but I feel that it pays off doing so. Great tips in this quick video for sure, even years later!

[@KurouSakura]

35 seconds in, and you've already won me over. Keep doing your thing.

[@danscharch]

I’m just finding this video now but it is incredible! Im always scanning the movies at the thrift store, I just had no idea Spice World was a winner. Thanks!

[@sethtanner1]

Didn’t know a few of these. Here’s some for you: Lost season 6, Simpson’s season 3, live concert dvds, mini series from PBS, discovery, hbo, bbc, Sundance / movies only at film festivals (look for the stamps on cover)

[@leelongvideo]

I got Simpson's season 3 at a garage sale for 50 cents. I didn't realize at the time that the MJ episode was kept off of Disney+ so I'm SO glad I got it.

Dude after watching some of your videos I started buying people’s dvd lots. Got two boxes for $20 and there were 2 movies I’ve never heard of that I sold for around $30 each! I actually sold the rest of the lot for what I paid for it. So basically just got a free $60 hah. Thanks man!

This is an awesome tip! We have nothing BUT DVD's at my stores haha. Also, if you ever look for VHS, Model Behavior with Justin Timberlake sells for like 20-30. Just recently found this out.

[@TattedCollector]

Major props for including the clip of Leo Moracchioli!! And selling OOP DVDs is my favorite!! Im always looking at yard sales, thrift stores, and pawn shops for them. They can usually be bought for a $1 or less and bring in some serious cash! Apocalypto on DVD and Bluray I have sold many times, as well as Spice World. I havent found the 101 Dalmations or Daddy's Dying. Great video Rick!!

"I know it's crazy people are still buying DVDs..." why wouldn't people buy DVDs? they're cheap, they look ok, not everything is on streaming services or blu-ray, and you can play them in anything.

[@loquendozlocoz6798]

Thanks to this kind of videos metal jesus type price rising up, thats why on marketplace people expecting to get $15-$20 on used blu ray Same movie You can get on ebay new $8-$10.

[@bigusdickus9346]

Most streaming services edit out scenes or flat out refuse to carry a movie because of certain scenes

[@gorillatoddcomics]

Very interseting stuff here, I am mainly focused in comics but where there is oppurtunity might as well learn something, thanks for sharing.

Nice tips! Never wouldve thought they'd be worth much 🤷‍♂️

[@BeastSlayer14]

I've sold plenty of DVDS, love selling them. Got to give Tatted Collector a big thanks for putting me on to them. A few good ones to look out for are the limited edition original uncut Star Wars DVDS. I paid $20 for two sets of them and sold both for $50, earning me an easy $100. Another one is the Walt Disney Treasures. I bought the Annette one for $2 at Goodwill and sold it for $55 on eBay.

[@retrorick]

Awesome man, yes have learned from Tatted as well...he does great in his area dvd hunting

[@TattedCollector]

Thanks for the props!! I cant let good money like that just go to waste! SELL, SELL, SELL!!!

[@retrorick]

haha for sure man, had to add it

[@chrisstoecker7189]

Good info on what dvds to look for. Obscure titles you've never heard of is a hell of a good start since a lot of the money dvds are out of print ones. If apocalypto sold at the same rate as Super Mario world I would certainly scoop it up but you'll be waiting a lot longer to sell that than you would the game but it's still a good point. If it's eventually going to sell and you can pick it up cheap grab it there's no reason not to

[@ppotter]

The US and UK dvd resell markets are completely different. Apocalyto going for 1p today on ebay, and Disney were probs planning a re-release of 101 Dalmations coz that'd worth nothing either over here.

[@nathanthesubzeromangold4615]

I've been searching for movies since 1985 1986 1987 and 1989 1988 every previous cartoon movies I have not seen in a long time since I grew up in the mid 1985. I miss those old movies. Great Walt Disney classic films

[@MikeHorror67]

It's just not oop dvd's that can go for big money. There's many oop blu ray's now. Check out the prices for Airheads, Dutch, The Pick-up Artist, Dying Young, Lucas, License To Drive, The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane (all those titles are Anchor Bay blu rays). Swamp Thing, Leviathan, Deadly Eyes, Slumber Party Massacre II & III double feature, Stigmata, Lady In White (all those are Scream Factory blu rays). LaBamba, Breaking Away, The Buddy Holly Story, Runaway Train, At Close Range (all those are Twilight Time blu rays). No Man's Land, Across 110th Street, Cotton Comes To Harlem, Modern Girls, Solar Babies (all those are Kino Lorber blu rays). Dead Alive & Near Dark blu ray's from Lion's Gate.This is just a small selection of blu rays that are oop that i own commanding big money.

Also worth noting Dogma 2 disc special edition directed by Kevin Smith - worth $10-$20. I found one at a swap meet years ago for $1 and sold it for $25. The blu Ray version is extremely rare $60+

[@stardust_memories2260]

where im from in NYC the trifts and garage sales ect are trash. they sed to be good but nowadays u cant come across anything good. the real places to go are like rural areas NJ PA or anywhere for that matter. as far as the dvds i would think if it has a curtain amount of wear on the disk is pretty much worth less then half of the asking price

@@R-Lee- Why regretting? Because I'm considering getting rid of boxes full of dvds that I haven't touched in years. I doubt it's worth the time and effort to go through all of them individually, post a for sale ad for each and then package and ship them, and that's if someone buys them.

Good find Damien.80-90's tv is sometimes the best wheelhouse for OOP TV since so much of that era is the perfect wheelhouse of music rights issue that keep it off streaming but not also not old-niche enough that the audience is too small and been forgotten by generations of consumers.

The key is to get these dvds for next to nothing and then flip. If you get some dead product, best case scenario would be to sell them to Decluttr or a similar site. As long as you don’t over pay. The fact that apocalypto on dvd still commands a high premium on dvd is crazy. You can get the digital HD version for less.

I discovered decluttr today, but not sure if I'll be using it. I mean, I've only looked up a couple titles, and most werent accepted, and the ones that were, I would only be getting 22 cents haha. Hard to make a profit off of something worth 22 cents.
