I was offended with Half Price Books the last time I went to sell DVD's and will be donating them to the public libraries from now on to either lend to patrons or sell during their fundraisers, would make me feel much better than being offered something around 25 cents each DVD.

I think a quarter is on the high side from HPB. The Exchange is a little better. Craig's List is probably your best bet,

Wow! That's highway robbery! I mean, I know I'm not going to make back what they cost back when, but 25 cents per isn't worth the time it took to inventory & pack them! It's starting to look like the Exchange is looking better & better.

Yeah, their reasoning was that nobody was buying DVD's because of covid, everyone started using streaming services.

They are absolutely right. How much do you expect them to pay for their 20th copy of The Dark Knight or Harry Potter?

They can pay whatever they want, it is the cost of business. However, they will have people like me that would rather donate to someone more in need than stqnding in the shop for an hour and leaving feeling robbed. So, while they may have 20 copies of Dark Knight or HP, I doubt they have any copies of The Secret of Nimh, Fawlty Towers, or The Reduced Shakespeare Company, and now my local library has them.
