However, by utilizing the various online sales opportunities, you can sell off unwanted DVDs--clearing space and picking up some money in the process.

      Choose which outlet you want to use to sell your DVDs. Some examples include eBay.com, Half.com, Amazon.com and Spun.com; you can find others with a simple web search. There are pros and cons for every company that you choose to post your DVD sales to. For example, eBay allows lots of people to bid on your DVD, possibly maximizing your profit. However, if a DVD does not attract a large amount of bidders than it may be sold at a discount through eBay.

It is usually at this time that the buyer will send you money in order to pay for the purchase. Wait for the money to arrive into your account before shipping the DVD.
