When Hoarding Blu rays and DVDs Goes too far !!!

[@deadbydawn93]

I agree with what you are saying. Sometimes, I'll look at my collection and think, 'Why do I have this?". I'm going to start giving myself a rule that if I upgrade something to Blu-Ray or DVD then I will get rid of the old copy I have, unless it's a film I want to own multiple copies of or if the DVD has features that the Blu-Ray doesn't.

[@jasonreese2088]

It's always awesome to hear someone get real about themselves. You've begun to scratch the surface of what you're all about. Discovering what you REALLY love and desire. Behind our extreme behavior is worship. ANY addiction is a kind of worship. But the dangerous kind. The sad kind. Brandon your an awesome person. I'll pray for you and your journey. Peace

[@jackgoh3567]

You own much more DVDs than even coolduder.

[@MediaHell]

dude get rid of all that stuff! only keep your all time favorite movies/tv shows, only keep the dvd's that haven't been released on blu ray, trade them in at dvd/blu ray stores, give em to goodwills and friends, you will feel relieved once a chunk of your collection is gone

[@mactrickson7581]

Your starting to feel how I did by reducing your collection. It feels great to get rid of things and start to feel more in control of your life.

[@h_loves_movies]

The Hell's Kitchen box set is a very weird thing to own haha.

[@MmmmmApplesauce]

I whittled down my collection from about 3000 to about 300 because as much i as love movies there is only 24 hours in the day and 8 of those is used for sleep, most days 8 of that is used for working and that leaves me 8 hours to be social with my significant other and friends and watch newer things. There is no point in keeping things that have either 0 personal value or that you will never watch. You may think you will watch 6000/10000 movies you own but you won't, even averaging that out to 1.5 hours that's over a year in hours, it would take you 1 year to watch 6000 movies 24/7 so if you watched 1-2 movies of those every night you still wouldn't watch all of them before you go to bed and this is why i am starting to buy into digital. I can buy a vudu movie form blu-ray forums for $3 instead of $20. That's as cheap as a redbox rental and contrary to belief vudu isn't going anywhere.

[@Seanh2k11]

+MmmmmApplesauce ever heard this little thing called... collecting?

[@Seanh2k11]

Golum McSmeagolHomie is for "virgins" do you know how dumb you sound?

[@wickedmountain]

@@golummcsmeagolhomie2396 Then you're not a true collector period you're just a moron trying to shove shit down peoples throats!! so mind you're own damn business fool!!

[@wickedmountain]

@@Seanh2k11 He's a moron

[@shadjuice]

The sad part is most movies are not worth much, so make sure you really don't want them

[@IDSTARTAREVOLUTION2]

This is the reason I don't thin out my collection too often. It's like, "is getting rid of this for $1 really worth it?"

[@ThePimpedOutwaffle]

+Chris McIntosh do u have a collection video? I like to see one

[@TheGuruof157]

Nowadays I just buy movies I really loved, and some tv shows tough to find, like Nick At Nite shows or stuffs like that, here in Brazil those kind of stuff are pretty expensive, so I must think a lot before buying something. Love your channel man, keep it up!!!

[@norxcontacts]

Get the amazon seller app for your phone to check prices. Some of that older, hard to find stuff is worth $50-100.

[@Spottedfeather]

I couldn't get rid of stuff like that. I have almost 2000 dvds and blu-rays. Things are almost always tight money-wise, so I almost never get anything unless I'm at least 90 percent positive that I'll watch it multiple times. I think, in my entire collection, I only have 5 movies that I'm 99% sure that I'll never watch again. But I can't get rid of them as they were gifts and it would feel weird to get rid of them.

[@steely666]

Moving house is when you realise moving a lot of stuff is a pain in the arse. 😬

[@frankvee]

OMG listening to you is making me feel like I'm about to have an anxiety attack.

[@TravisBierwagen]

I shrunk my DVD/blu-ray collection down by a lot, there are still a few things my mind won't let me get rid of, but for the most part I try to hold on to just the things I really, really love. Full season sets of t.v. shows are evil dust collectors, how many times are you going to sit down and watch a full season of something again? Even if it's a show you love, let alone one you just kinda like. You could probably put that money to good use - new clothes, new video adventures, think of the possibilities.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

I just bought a new shelving unit for my DVDs. I have saved the large 2 Level Cnetral Section for the movies I will keep. The two end sections are filled with the DVDs I have not watched yet, or have watched and will donate to Value Village.

[@patrickmcgoran5344]

Brendan .. you have a condition i've previously diagnosed in myself as OCCD (Obsessive Compulsive Collectors Disorder) .. you seem to be at a point where you've realized that your collection is well.. kinda pointless .. several years ago, when i gave up hoarding, i started watching your vids to hoard vicariously through you .. don't let your collection overwhelm you .. you don't need it any more .. there's more to life .. free youself

[@bleachdog5678]

I pick-up one piece collection 14 and naruto shippuden box set 24 and the 90,s X-Men collection 5 and backslash www 2004 and maximum conviction

[@geeeunit]

I decided to "trim the fat" earlier this year and got rid of about 1/3 of my collection. It was all garbage movies I only bought because they were cheap. It's honestly pretty liberating to get rid of some of the clutter.

[@PSPplayer17]

I started buying blu-Ray cases that have 2 or more slots for discs and combining my blu-Ray and dvd versions of movies that I wanted to keep.

[@HarrisonLive05]

Honestly a lot of those blu rays are worth nothing. Just sunk costs.

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

Same here.Thats why when i shop on black friday this year i can downsize to save space and $.If i'm never gonna see the film again i sell it or get rid of it.

[@kidsWearCrowns]

Next episode hoarding up

[@treys842]

I'd watch a video series of you sifting through movies to pick out what to get rid of.

[@steelbosgrove8446]

getting rid of them will be like the weight loss , a very positive freeing move, im sure your family will like the space too ! good luck , its hard but its a great relief when you do it !

[@josephcruz4756]

Dude, you need to start using a Redbox. $1 and change for a movie. Then if you really love the movie, buy it at retail. This will help you from impulse buying, bud.

[@hansneuendorf5286]

+Golum McSmeagolHomie Why Does Thee act like thy Dick?

[@TheMediaHoarder]

+Joseph Cruz If you rent from Redbox, then you can copy the movies you like.

[@DeltaKnight]

Though my collection is admittedly far smaller, I've gotten to the point (have for a while now) where I've slowed down a great deal with buying movies. Now I'll just buy a movie here or there every so often. There's at least one movie I'm likely going to get rid of. I also don't doubt at SOME point I'll probably actually start going digital with movies too.Among music, books, and movies, movies are the only thing I haven't gone digital with. Honestly there are movies I own I haven't watched in years.

[@IDISNEYCHANNELHQI]

I know this is unrelated to this video, but can you perhaps do a video showing all of you tv collection?

[@eaglestrike3531]

0:22 the way you say shit is GOLDEN😂😂😭

[@ChristianFashion1994]

I currently work with a thrift store and I will tell ya we see dvds and blu-rays come in a lot lately (mainly the Twilight Saga) and there are some we just know we will never get sold. This is also where I get a lot of my dvds (I mean I get them for $2 dollars so why not) but the one thing I do (same with clothes I wear) if I can see myself watching it again or I know my fiancee nieces or nephews will watch it I will get it. Its a good idea to start weeding them out because like you said it can become quite overwhelming. Good luck all around.

[@drymovie2272]

ive been created to destroy u

[@Bigal1982]

Know what your saying mate feel the same went throughout my collection in the summer and done a sale but didn't sell a lot people don't want dvds these days. Top vid as always mate

[@patio87]

Brendan, at least 3 times I heard you say "why do I need to own this for?" or something similar. Just so you know this is god awful grammar and you should say "WHAT do I need this for?" instead.

[@collectorofstuff158]

+patio87 Why do I have this? You know what I mean? Why do I have that? You know what I mean? I need to just clean out stuff I'm never gonna watch again, you know what I mean? Am I ever gonna watch this again? You know what I mean? Why do I have this? You know what I mean? What is this? You know what I mean? Why am I keeping this? You know what I mean? Why did I get this in the first place? You know what I mean?

[@mandk6089]

+patio87 so, since when were you an English teacher?

[@LilannB]

I'm in the process of getting rid of a lot of my DVDs and Blu Rays. As I've come to the conclusion that many of the titles I'm not ever going to watch again. Along with that unless the title is from Criterion these movies lose their value fairly quickly. In some cases they are worth only pennies. Ideally I think my DVD/BD collection should be no more then around 100 titles. Currently I own about 200 DVDs and 400 Blu Rays.

[@TheGhostOfSasquatch]

I think this will be really good for you. Think of it as fine tuning your collection. Can't wait to see the videos in the future of the whole process. Awesome vids man!

[@Krsb1-o4g]

Hey wetmovie1! Great video, as always. Been following you for quite a long time and i really enjoy your work AND i really can relate to your problem. Not that my collection is as huge as yours, but I have a lot of stuff. Did a "clean out" a fec weeks ago and it felt good. Anyway, thank you for the hours of entertainment!

[@bluraymadness]

i was thinking about this earlier this week and pulled out a few things bit the issue is i was being ofred like 20p for dvd and i would rather keep it instead of getting rid of it for 20p

[@AnklepantsSkateZine]

I recommend selling most of that if you haven't yet. Think of something you could save up for and start purging your "collection". I've made about $1000 so far selling the majority of my DVD's and Blu-rays (and books, vinyl, CD's, etc.). I'm going to get a new video camera, a BMX bike, and the rest goes towards a new car. Keep your absolute favorite movies and limit it to one copy of each (with the exception of your all time number one favorite). That's what I've been working on and it's so easy. All my few movies exist on two shelving units, not hidden from view in random boxes that clutter my home. Just box things up and take them to a store to sell. Take the cash, not the store credit, and do something worthwhile with it. A small, well-planned collection is so much healthier than a huge pile of random stuff. If you're like me it'll be hard at first but once you get some momentum it feel amazing.

[@the13thwolfman]

The Millenium edition of Night of the living dead is the only one I have seen with a clean transfer. so yes. You need to start making your own dvd/blu ray editions i do that. I get blu cases and put them together to make mor eroom.

[@ThePeople2C]

+the13thwolfman I was going to start doing that too

[@the13thwolfman]

I have been doing it for years. Every time i upgrade i make my own combos.

[@Alpinenewt]

+the13thwolfman How do you go about starting to do that?

[@the13thwolfman]

+Paul Kendrick If you have the same movie on both formats. Then go onto Amazon buy new blu ray cases which do not cost that much and that will accommodate the amount of disc that you need. You might have a 2 disc dvd set and a Blu ray so you would need a 3 disc case.. Swap everything out into the case including the blu ray artwork and there you go. You can get quite a few cases for under 20 bucks.

[@ThePeople2C]

Exactly what he said, Me being obsessed with having both, Blu-Ray and DVD versions of movies, I was just gonna start doing the same. This way I can also weed out the eco cases and use the good cases for what I don't have on blu-ray or what isn't on blu-ray.

[@blinkfan87]

I would invest in a dvd/bluray binder. You would really cut down on shelf space if you just put the discs in a sleeve in a binder. The only problem is that your recycling bins gets full very fast from all the plastic cases.

[@BryanLomax]

You have a condition dude! I feel overwhelmed just watching this. Sooner or later the things you own begin to own you. Just get rid. You'll feel like a weight has been lifted. A lot of weight judging from the size of your collection.

[@lawrencehayworth2463]

I understand man I'm addicted to buying dvds and blu-rays gone through a bad pack this month and bought about 300 or 400 new ones havent even watch them once just collecting sets of them I did pass about 150 to other people but I'm starting to thing what on earth am I doing with all these dvds 📀

[@peytonsnay6283]

I'm having the same problem with my hellraiser Blu-ray. I hate the hellraiser movies, but the art cover is kind of cool. what do you think I should do? because I don't even think I'm going to watch it again!!

[@stoneimage666]

I know what your going through. I am getting rid of some of my movies that I will not watch ever again. I like collecting movies also, but I just pick up movies I really want in my collection. Good luck buddy!!

[@SPECKREJK]

sellem to tokyo music

[@chuckycheesechucky]

I used to hoard DVDs a while back. I did the same thing you're doing, going through and picking the shit out that I just don't need to keep. I recommend doing that a few times after you do it the first time. You'll be surprised by how much you'll pull out your third time going through your collection. I sold the crap on eBay for max value. I'm a collector by nature, so I just collect other things now. DVDs and Blurays just depreciate in value (not all of them, of course), so if you're not watching them, get rid of them while you can still get a bit of cash for them!

[@harrij9831]

Congratulations! We all get to this point with our collections/hoards at some point. Getting rid of those boxes is a really great start. I bet you felt super cleansed! This is an old video now, did you ever make an update?

[@LoganMichaelCairnes]

I love this video Brendon I'm proud of you for getting rid of the movies and shows ect that you don't need. I love you Bro❤ great video

[@acajudi100]

Your collection is very neat, but you could buy RubberMaid boxes, make an audio of what is in each box, and number the box, or write on index cards..you can get the attaché case and make a collage of the artwork, and sell the plastic containers, or donate. Put the date when you watch.

[@darthbriboy]

A good clean up in your movie collection can really be a good thing you get rid of the movies you're not interested in where they're really bad ones and then you have more space for good stuff

[@Gunngirl]

Why do people keep saying the movies aren't worth much? He buys them because he wants to of 'cause he likes them it's not about trying to build a certain value, not the movies he buys. You're on the right track in purging. Wow, I had no idea your collection was that big.

[@johnstone313]

never can have too many. just get rid of doubles etc. if thats what you wanna do but why enjoy it enjoy your life. i have a huge collection of movies blue rays vhs dvds games comics figures etc. but i love it n can never get rid of it or care too.

[@mewantcool]

wow, and my parents still complains about my 250-260 collections of DVD and blu rays

[@jackson-zd8oq]

Wow dude. First time i've seen your entire collection as a whole. You definitely should try get rid of 50% of them as a starting point. Or get a storage shed somewhere and put every last dvd there. Once you start doing this I believe a world of opportunities will open up and you will start becoming a healthier and happier person. Sunlight, good exercise, brighter coloured clothes, healthy food, shave side-burns and get hair coloured black and trendy new hair-cut & last but not least, new glasses. Maybe a ray-ban type. Yes you will look completely different and feel different but it will most certainly help you out bro - peace out stay safe & happy.

With as much as you have in your collection looks like down sizing the collection will be a daunting task. I know you can do it though buddy.

Then I see this video and it really makes me feel the weight of consumer mentality, which I know I'm guilty of, just pushing me under. Makes me want to burn all my DVD's to be honest.

[@ericboyer5335]

Maybe get the movie from redbox or netflix first to see if it's purchase worthy.

[@TheBurleybrawler]

What I'd do is, Get rid of the DVD's, keep the Bluray's. Rip your fav DVD's to a RAID NAS media box. If the drive ever dies the second drive takes over until you replace the first so you won't lose them. You can rip them to ISO format so there's zero quality lose and software like SVP makes DVD's look better than any hardware upscaler. I know you said you like physical but view the average movies and TV shows on a stream in future before deciding if you want to buy them etc. Also DVD wallet's can save alot of space, I've thrown out all my blu cases and just kept the covers and disc's.

[@PghZombie]

Keep only what you love and sell the rest...I had to do this too.

[@predatorsilver]

Don't fret, Just get another shelf unit, and get back to collecting!
