19 Best Places to Sell Used DVDs Online & Near You (2025 Update)

The good news is that there’s also a site like BookScouter—but for DVDs.

So if you’ve ever wondered, “where can I sell my DVD for the best price,” read on to get your answer.

1. Bonavendi

Bonavendi is a little different from other sites in that it acts more like a search engine for buyback sites.

Basically, you enter the barcode or ISBN of your item, and it searches over 30 buyback sites to present you with the ones that pay the most for it.

Choose the one that gives you the most cash and follow the steps to sell it and get your money.

Have more than one item?

Entering barcodes for 3 or 4 items manually is fine and easy, but looking up and typing in 60 different barcodes from a collection can drive you crazy—even if you’re getting the best price for each one.

Save time and your sanity! Instead of entering barcodes one by one, install their free mobile app and simply scan the barcodes.

All you have to do is:

1. Download the app: (Android – Apple)
2. Scan the barcodes with your phone.
3. Get the best price.

Whether you have an entire collection, box sets, or just a few, their app makes it very easy to sell your DVDs fast.

Things to Consider

Barcode / ISBN

If your item doesn’t have a barcode or ISBN number, you won’t be able to sell it. This is how Bonavendi’s vendors recognize the DVD you are trying to sell.

Another note: simply typing the name of the movie on the site sometimes gives you a variety of options, including books and video games, because Bonavendi sells those as well.

For the most accuracy, I recommend scanning the barcode with your phone or typing in the ISBN number.

Selling Bulk DVDs

Selling many DVDs at one time is certainly more worth your while. If you simply sell one or two, you might not make the most money for your time, depending on their worth.

Bonavendi becomes particularly profitable if you have an entire collection to sell because they make it very easy to do so and will give you the best price for each individual item.

Third-Party Vendors

Occasionally, when an offer is provided for an item from a vendor and Bonavendi transfers you to their site, you may have to re-enter some information regarding payment for your item.

This doesn’t happen with every vendor, but it did happen to me once or twice.

Bonavendi offers the same price comparison and convenience for used DVDs, as well as for used video games, used books, and used CDs.

You may find yourself quickly making money on a variety of used stuff you have lying around the house before you know it.

Where to Sell DVDs Online

We did the research and found you the best sites and platforms to get cash for your used or new DVDs and CDs.

Here they are:

2. Decluttr

We talk a lot about Decluttr here at MoneyPantry. In fact, I wrote a detailed review of Decluttr that you can read here.

The reason I like this site/app is that it truly is one of the best apps to sell your stuff.

Not only can you sell your used Blu-Ray movies, DVDs, and CDs for cash to them, but they also buy your used cell phones, textbooks, tablets, and even video game consoles.

Selling through Decluttr is easy and quick.

Enter the barcode of the item you want to sell. The site will give you an instant quote. If you like the price, you can print out a prepaid shipping label to ship your item to them for free.

You get paid the very next day after the company receives your item. They pay via PayPal, direct deposit, or check—you get to choose your preferred payment method.

3. SecondSpin

Update: SecondSpin is no longer in business. There is a similar site you can use called Second Spin Disk (it has no affiliation with the original SecondSpin company, though).

Second Spin Disk is one of the best sites that buy used DVDs and CDs. As long as your item is in good condition and is a Region 1 or Region Free/All disc, they’ll buy it from you—and they pay well.

From what I can see, they accept far more titles compared to other DVD buyback sites.

You can also sell CDs, Blu-Rays, and vinyl records.

To find out how much they pay, simply enter the title (whether it’s a movie, album, or something else) or its barcode into the search box. The site will immediately give you a quote.

By the way, you can also trade your DVDs for store credit and use the credit to buy whatever they sell.

If you’d rather get paid in cash, you can choose between PayPal or a paper check.

Read my SecondSpin review for tips on how to get the most cash for your stuff.

4. Eagle Saver

Eagle Saver is a great buyback site that not only buys your DVDs but also buys books, CDs, Blu-Rays, and games.

Here’s how the process works:

• Step 1: Enter the 10- or 13-digit ISBN code (for books) or the 12-digit UPC (for audio CDs, DVDs/Blu-Rays, and video games) to get an instant quote.
• Step 2: If you like the price, print out the free shipping label they provide and ship your item.
• Step 3: Get paid by check or PayPal.

It just can’t get any easier than this!

By the way, if you used to collect movies or TV series but no longer do and would rather sell your collection, Eagle Saver is one of the best places to do that.

5. World of Books (formerly Sell DVDs Online)

DVDs aren’t the only things they buy. They also buy Blu-Rays, CDs, games, video game consoles, and books.

Just like other buyback sites, all you have to do is enter the UPC barcode into the box to get an instant quote.

If you like the price, print out your free shipping label and ship the item(s) to the company. They pay you within 3 days of receiving your item(s).

You can choose to be paid via PayPal or paper check.

Now, one thing to keep in mind is that your item needs to be in good condition. If the disc or its case has any scratches, chips, or missing pieces, they won’t pay for it. So, before you ship out your item, make sure it meets their requirements.

6. Amazon

Okay, I’ll admit it—Amazon is not the best place to sell DVDs!

So why recommend it?

Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed a pattern with most buyback sites: almost all of them only pay for DVDs in good condition. I’m willing to bet you have a few DVDs with at least some scratches. For those items that buyback sites won’t accept, Amazon is your friend.

You can sell items in any condition on Amazon as long as you detail their condition in the item listing description.

To start selling on Amazon, simply visit the seller page and follow the steps.

However, keep in mind that Amazon has monthly seller fees. If you only have a few items to sell, it may not be worth it unless you have rare DVDs that are worth a lot of money.

For the rest of us, there’s another option with Amazon (more on that later!).

7. eBay

Want to see how much you can sell your DVDs for?

Auction them on eBay and sell to the highest bidder!

I would recommend this if you have collectible and rare items. Selling regular DVDs for a few bucks won’t really be profitable when you factor in all the fees you have to pay to eBay.

8. Ziffit: Sell DVDs in Europe

Most of the sites we mentioned in this post focus on people in the U.S.

Ziffit buys DVDs from anyone in England and Ireland.

Simply enter the EAN (European Article Number) of your item, and they’ll give you an instant quote.

If you like the price, drop it off at a local Collect+ outlet (More on another interesting option later!).

Once they receive the item, you get paid.

You have a few options for getting paid:

• Bank transfer
• PayPal payments
• Cheques
• Instant Cash Voucher

Now, here is the interesting part…

If you have a lot of DVDs, they’ll actually come to your place and pick them up for free! You have to qualify for the free courier service, which they’ll let you know when you’re checking out online.

You can also install their free app for Android or iOS and use it to scan barcodes quickly and easily.

Trade Your DVD for Cash or Credit

Many companies offer trade-in programs where you can trade your old items (usually tech-related products) for cash or store credit.

Now, here’s the bad news…

Trade-ins are, in most cases, a rip-off!

You won’t get anywhere near the amount you could make by selling your stuff directly to buyers or on buyback sites, but if you’d rather trade your DVDs and games for cash or credit, here are a few options.

9. Amazon Trade-In

With the Amazon Trade-In program, you can trade your items for Amazon credit. Unfortunately, the trade-in value is usually lower than what you’d get by selling the item yourself.

However, there’s an upside to trading your DVDs for Amazon gift cards: it saves you a lot of time since you don’t have to deal with listing your item and finding a buyer.

Once Amazon accepts the trade-in, your gift card balance will be credited within 2 business days. Some items even qualify for instant payment.

By the way, you can trade thousands of items for Amazon gift cards through this program, including Amazon devices, electronics, books, video games, and more.

10. GameStop Trade-In

GameStop Trade-In works similarly to Amazon Trade-In. You can trade various items, including gaming systems, accessories, tablets, smartphones, retro games, and, of course, DVDs.

Here’s how it works:

1. Click the link above and enter the title of the item you want to sell.
2. The site will instantly give you a Trade Value offer, showing how much they’ll pay you in cash or store credit.
3. Print your Trade Value offer, take it to your local store, and receive the offered cash or credit for your item.

Just a heads-up: you always get more value if you accept store credit instead of cash.

For example, I tested it with “Red Dead Redemption 2” and got this Trade Value offer:

• Store Credit: $12.10
• Cash: $9.68

If you shop at Gamestop, definitely go with store credit to get more value for your old DVDs or DVD sets.

11. Best Buy Trade-In

As you might expect, Best Buy accepts anything tech-related, including laptops, computers, tablets, phones, speakers, and more. Thankfully, they also accept DVDs, games, and movies.

To get started:

– Use their online estimator to get an instant estimate of your trade-in value.
– If you accept the offer, register with the Best Buy Trade-In Center, print the prepaid shipping label, and ship your items.
– Within 10 days of receiving your item, they’ll email you a Best Buy e-gift card.

You can also trade some items online. For example, video games can often be traded directly on their website.

Where Can I Sell DVDs for Cash Near Me

Don’t want to deal with the hassle (and shipping costs) of selling DVDs online?

Sell locally!

Here are some of the best places to sell DVDs for cash in person.

12. Used Bookstores

I love used bookstores. Unfortunately, with Amazon and so many apps and sites where you can sell used books as well as buy them, they’re becoming harder to find.

But if you can locate a used bookstore near you, it’s worth checking out. Most used bookstores not only buy books but also DVDs, CDs, video games, and movies.

As for how much you get paid, it depends on what you’re selling and whether your local store has demand for that item.

If you want to get more bang for your buck and don’t mind not getting paid in cash, consider trading your items for store credit. Used bookstores (and almost all other places) pay much more in store credit for almost any item.

You can use the store credit to buy books or whatever else the store sells. This helps you get more value for your item, and it also helps the store by increasing their sales, which they desperately need these days.

13. Music Stores

This is another overlooked option. Many local music stores do buy DVDs, and the content doesn’t always have to be music-related. Many stores also buy films, along with albums, concerts, and other music-related content.

For example, Amoeba Music Store (with locations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Berkeley) pays “top dollar” for what they call “strong and uncommon” titles.

Now, as with many of these places, you’re not going to get anywhere near the market value (for a brand new item) for your stuff. Amoeba, for instance, says they pay an average of $1 to $7 for most DVDs.

That may not be what you paid for the item or hoped to sell it for, but if you want quick cash, this is a good option.

Again, if you choose store credit instead of cash payment, you’ll get more (around 30% more).

14. Craigslist

It seriously amazes me how, with all these new apps & sites for selling used stuff online and locally, I can still sell things quickly on Craigslist.

If you don’t want to deal with shipping fees and want to sell your DVD for cash instantly, Craigslist (CL) is the way to go.

You don’t have to spend a penny on listing or shipping fees.

Take a few pictures of your item, add a description, give your listing a good title, and wait for potential buyers to contact you.

Once you agree on a price, meet the buyer in a safe (preferably public) place and exchange your DVD for cash.

15. Facebook

A lot of people tend to overlook Facebook, especially local Facebook groups. Facebook is a great place to sell not just DVDs, but all kinds of used and new items.

You can list your item for free. The best part is that you can even share your listing page with your friends and family, so you get eyes on your listing right away.

16. Yard Sales

Want to sell your DVDs without leaving your house, but don’t want to necessarily do it online?

Have a yard sale or a garage sale!

Read our garage sale tips posts for a complete garage sale checklist to help you have a successful yard sale and maximize the amount of money you can get for each item.

17. Google

Ok, let me explain!

I’m not suggesting you sell your DVD to Google. What I am saying is that you can use Google to find people and stores that buy used DVDs in your area.

All you have to do is search on Google using a few search terms and keywords.

Examples:

“who buys used DVDs near me”

“pawn shops near me that buy DVDs”

“places that buy used DVDs”

Wouldn’t that just bring up results for online stores?

No! You see, by using terms like “near me,” “in person,” or “locally,” you are telling Google to only show you results that mention people and places around where you live (yes, Google automatically knows what state and city you live in, but that’s another discussion altogether!).

18. Pawn Shops

This should really be your last resort.

Why?

Ask yourself this: “How much do pawn shops pay for DVDs?”

Pawn shops are notorious for underpaying for stuff. And it applies to anything you try to sell to them. I mean, they have to, in order to make money.

I am just listing it here because it’s an option. But unless you have no other choice or have a very rare and collectible item that you know the true value of, don’t waste your time—unless you want to practically give your stuff away for free!

19. Use Apps

There are also a lot of apps that aren’t buyback platforms but are like Craigslist. You can use apps like OfferUp and LetGo to sell movies and DVDs to local buyers. All you have to do is snap a picture of your item, add a little description, and list it.

We have a big list of some of the best apps to sell stuff locally, so be sure to check it out.

So, Where Do I Sell My DVDs?

Well, as you can see, there are a lot of options. And based on your needs, some may be better than others.

Consider how many DVDs you have, whether they are rare or collectible items, and whether you want to sell in person or online. Choose the place that best matches your situation and sell your DVDs to them for the most money.
