Switching big collection to DVD
- Thread starter dianeksu
- Start date
When I made the transition, I first listed my vhs videos on the Firm swap, then what I couldn't sell on the swap, I listed as a lot on Ebay. Also, some of the more valuable videos (hard to get Firms), I listed separately on Ebay. Ebay turned out to be really useful and once you're registered, you always have the future option of buying/selling.
I made a complete transition to DVD last Fall and I haven't any regrets!

Oops, just noticed someone else mention on another message that your not supposed to buy or sell of Cathe's site. Sorry, didn't mean to do anything I wasn't supposed to. Thanks

The library here (Denver) takes donations of videos. If you already itemize on your income tax, you can deduct pretty close to the full purchase price of the tapes. A lot less hassle than e-bay.
Just a thought ... ;-)

RE: Donation
Hi Diane. I'm sorry that it has taken me a couple of days to get back to you.
Setting up an Ebay account is pretty painless. Most of the work will be in deciding what you want to sell, determining prices, and then listing your items. If you can organize all of the details on paper before you attempt to list your items, the process isn't unpleasant at all. I guess what I'm trying to say is, be organized. I made the mistake of trying to wing it on my first attempt and ended up bailing because of frustration.
I found that listing my remaining vhs exercise collection as a large lot was much less work than offering each video individually. Maybe I could have made more money on individual items, but I would have spent more time and money on packing materials and shipping, so it really balances out in the end.
Gretchen's idea is great. Unfortunately, I don't itemize at tax time so I couldn't use the write-off :-(, but if you do, that may be the easiest route.

Why not sell them at the FIRM Ya Ya's swapmeet? http://pub109.ezboard.com/bfirmbelivers. You could also try the Video Fitness forum, but I think you're only allowed to trade there.

RE: e-bay ?
Hi Debbie. I didn't include pictures of the video covers in my listings. A few people emailed me to inquire about the condition of the videos/covers, although I was sure to include that information in the item description. I guess it couldn't hurt to include a picture, but it didn't seem to be an issue when I placed my videos up for auction.
