JBP Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Are there any reliable, reputable companies that sell used DVD's online? I frequently purchase used DVD's from Hollywood Video and Blockbuster, if you get a defective or damaged DVD they will do an exchange. Can you recommend any online companies that guarentee their DVD's or have you made enough purchases from one, without problems, that you feel they only ship-out damage free movies? Thanks.

ygmn Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I would think with the added shipping costs this would not be a good investment.....if ya have problem you would probably have to pay to ship it back.....seems the DVD would be cheaper locally..... I prefer to go to the local blockbusters, hollywood video and others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpbc Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 'Amazon.ca' lists new and used prices for some of their dvd offerings. Suspect 'amazon.com' does the same, though I haven't looked. Hardly buy anything new from amazon -- wouldn't even consider used -- can beat the prices locally. Most video stores here sell new and 'previously viewed' dvds. Most a/v and other stores here sell only new products, and their prices usually beat the online retailers and video stores. Sure can't see buying used when I can get new for the same or nearly the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grateful11 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I've bought a few off of eBay, no problems, and about 10 or 12 at yard sales. Picked up Aliens 4 disc set for $8.00 at a yard sale, not scratch on them but the box had gotten wet. Most Flea Markets vendors want almost as much as new in the store.

RichardP Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I have bought dozens of used DVDs and CDs from HALF.COM, the majority for less than $10. Formerly a used book online dealer, it is now owned by Ebay, and uses their feedback system for rating sellers and buyers. Until a year or so ago, they had an immediate refund policy if you received a defective item. Now, it is an arbitrated policy, where you are supposed to work it out with the seller, and if that doesn't work, half.com makes the decision. There are clearly two categories of sellers: individuals who are selling items they happened to have, and usually have feedback ratings of 200 or less; and then those who are "full time" volume ebay and half.com businesspersons, with feedback ratings of more than 1000. The latter are more likely to sell a defective disk, because the disk probably was not their own, and they don't know the condition of everything they sell. Almost all use media mail for shipping, which is usually $2.49 per item, and arrives anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Go to spun.com you can buy used DVDs, and best of all you can trade in your old DVDs for New/Used ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Devil Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I agree...garage sales are great! Just look in your local paper, and see if any of the descriptions say "DVD's." If so, be sure to get there early, they tend to go pretty quickly. Otherwise, Ebay has always been good to me as well. Haven't had any problems.
