I agree with usrunnr's idea of donating them to a library or charity. However, there's no need to wait until after you've "departed" if we're talking about duplicates and older versions that you know you'll never watch again. Make the donation now, and claim it as a charitable tax deduction (make sure you get a "receipt" from the organization that you donate to).I used to sell a lot of DVDs on eBay, but that was a very long time ago. As the value of DVDs dropped significantly, it just wasn't worth the effort to pack and ship them. Also, PayPal started changing the rules and charging for what used to be free, even before eBay took them over. I tried selling some at a flea market, but even with prices below what they were selling for on eBay, I had little success. So I'm pretty much stuck with a lot of duplicates and older versions.
I have a pretty large collection and I quit buying and started renting because of space issues. Now, like most people, I am streaming most of what I watch. I liked being a collector, but at my age (82), I realize that I won't live long enough to watch even the ones I haven't watched once, much less repeats. And I could be forced to downsize at some point. I have thought about trying a garage/yard sale, but you get a lot of deadbeats and thieves showing up at those. So I may give eBay another try before long. Just don't know if I could make myself part with them at the prices I could get there and go through all the work. I'd like to pass them on to my kids and grandchildren, but most of them don't even have DVD players now. Maybe I should just put them on the porch and let someone steal them.
