Sell a boat load of DVDs (originals) I want to get rid of?

I have around 200 at home and they're just taking up space in the spare room and I hardly watch them anymore (with the exception of a few classics)

Thought about ebaying them but at 50p or thereabouts to advertise it'll cost me £100

Any bright ideas?

didn't think you could sell multiple items on ebay like that... might give that a go.

Will also list them on forums.

Get them up on forums, could you not join a DVD/Film enthusiast forum and sell some on there?

I have a few horror movies.

Will need to check prices for them though, see what they're going for new on Play.com and then obviously knock a few quid off.

I don't think selling them as a whole on ebay will attract many people. I'd want at least £5 for each and that's £1,000 already!

You'll NEVER get £5 for all of them. Maybe the latest ones and some trilogies etc but theres so many warehouse companies that sell them cheaper. Offer discount on multiple purchases too

I think £5 for a DVD is pretty cheap mate.

Romeo Must Die for example, still 14.99 on play.com. Probably on of the cheapest places you can get DVDs online. I'd sell that for a tenner. They're all in A1 condition so I think that's fair. If someone spots the DVD cheaper elsewhere then I can bring the price down.

They're all recent (ish) films as well. Mainly action/adventure from 2000.
