What affects value
Why one DVD can be worth more than another
Used movie value depends largely on supply, demand, format, and the exact edition. A widely available DVD may have a very different resale market from a limited release, complete series, Blu-ray, or 4K edition.
Even two versions of the same movie can be different. Special features, packaging, format, release year, and availability can all affect what buyers are looking for.
Don't judge the whole shelf at once. Scan the individual barcodes. A few titles in an ordinary collection can be very different from the rest.

Movies that are especially worth checking
You can't reliably tell value from the cover alone, but certain kinds of releases are particularly worth scanning before you donate, discard, or sell your collection elsewhere.
Out-of-print titles
Movies and releases that are harder to find can sometimes have stronger resale demand, especially when they are no longer widely available.
Complete TV series and box sets
Multi-disc seasons and complete collections are especially worth checking when all discs and packaging are present.
Blu-ray and 4K UHD editions
Higher-resolution editions can have different demand and resale value from the standard DVD version of the same movie.
Criterion, special, and collector's editions
Special packaging, bonus content, limited releases, and collector-focused editions can attract dedicated physical-media buyers.
Documentaries and specialty releases
Educational, niche, regional, and specialty titles may have smaller print runs and less competition in the used market.

Before you pack
Normal signs of use are okay
Used DVDs and Blu-rays don't need to look brand new. Light surface marks and normal case wear are generally fine. The disc should be playable, complete, and free from serious damage.
Generally fine
Light surface wear and normal case scuffs
Please don't send
Cracked discs, deep playback-affecting scratches, or missing essential parts

Common questions
DVD, Blu-ray & 4K value questions
- Why do some DVDs get an offer and others don't?
- Every title has different demand, resale value, and sales activity. Some editions qualify for an offer while others may not meet our current purchasing criteria.
- I have a rare box set. Should I scan it?
- Absolutely. Box sets and unusual editions are especially worth checking. If you believe you have a genuinely rare collectible, you may also want to compare recent collector-market sales before deciding where to sell it.
- Do you buy Blu-rays and 4K UHD movies?
- Yes. Scan the barcode just like a DVD and you'll see whether that exact edition qualifies for an offer.
- What about VHS tapes?
- We don't currently buy VHS tapes. We focus on DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K UHD, CDs, books, and qualifying video games.
- Can I check a DVD without creating an account?
- Yes. You can scan a barcode and check an offer before creating an account.
