Part 1. How to Find Out the Value of Your DVD

Selling used DVDs is certainly a good way to make extra money. However, with the decline of DVD rental chains, it has been harder to find out a general price for your old DVD titles. But there are still some tips helping you price your used DVD.

  1. Check the release date of your used DVD. Search online to find out when your DVD was released. For hard to find DVD movies, the original releases are more valuable. While for those re-released ones, the newer the DVD, the more it will be worth.
  2. Value the condition of your DVD. Take into account such factors as if it is unpacked in perfect condition, opened but looks like new, or just operational but with obvious and significant wear.
  3. Include everything that may increase your DVD value. For example, a DVD with the actor's or director's autograph on it will increase its value. Or if your DVD came with any bonuses like mini-figures or t-shirts, it will be worth more. And a store exclusive can also help increase the value from a standard edition.
  4. Compare the DVD movie price. Take GetDVDPrices as an example, type in your DVD name, you will see a list of versions of this DVD with different prices.
  5. See the transaction price for the DVD on online auction sites. Search the DVD title and view the most recently ended auctions instead of the current one. Those prices are the most direct reflection of the value of your used DVD.

Tips: The prices of used DVDs change constantly depending on what the people demand and want. If you are determined to sell your DVD, keep checking the price increases or decreases on DVDs.
