Movie Sale

This is a long time coming, but it’s finally here—and just in time for Black Friday!

Below is a list of movies I am selling from my personal collection. Netflix has changed the way I do movies, and I can bear to let these go. Most have been seen only a few times max. I am ashamed to admit that some have never even been watched—one is still in the wrapper.

I’ll be putting these up on ebay next week, but before I do I wanted to give my loyal readers an opportunity to snatch them up first (as well as save myself extra work). You can own any of the movies below (on DVD unless otherwise specified) for $4 each. As an enticement, you can have 3 for $10. Shipping will cost you face value, and I will ship in any fashion you’d like.

First comment, first serve. I’ll keep the list updated as we go.

Netflix

My two week trial ends today, and I couldn’t be more impressed. So impressed actually that I’m preparing to sell most of my DVD collection.

Since signing up two weeks ago, I’ve requested and returned six movies. The movies I put in my mailbox yesterday were received by Netflix this morning, and I’ll have two more movies waiting for me when I get home tomorrow. Gotta love having a distribution center in Lansing! This set up is amazing.

In case you’re not familiar with the process of Netflix. Here’s the scoop, you can choose from a few different plans. The one I chose allows me to have 3 movies at a time, with unlimited requests for $16.99 per month. I can keep any and all of them for as long as I want. When I’m done with one, I send it back and they ship me the next DVD in my que. You’re only limited in how fast you can watch them. Sending them back is easy too because they send you a pre-paid return envelope. No hassle and no extra charges.

Their collection is astounding. I’ve even got Tron que’d up for the not so distant future. Which leads me to a point I made earlier. I’m going to be selling off most of my movies. I can’t really decide how I want to do this yet. I could sell them individually on ebay, or amazon. I could sell them in lots on ebay. I could sell them to people on the blogosphere first. I could sell them at a garage sale. It’s tough. I’m also trying to figure out which ones I want to keep. Box sets are big with me, but there are certain individual movies that I’d like to hang on to as well.

While I try to figure it all out, check out my collection and let me know if you’re interested in any of the movies. Most of them have been watched once at the most, and are in pristine condition.

Child of the 80′s

Man, I am stuck in the Eighties! I just bid on and won a set of DVD’s that will take me on a ride through my favorite decade. After a conversation last weekend about Teen Wolf, I went on Ebay to see what it might cost to land the DVD. Turns out some guy was selling Teen Wolf together with a few more 80′s classics all in the same auction. Here’s what I won:

Teen Wolf 1 & 2
Ghostbusters 1 & 2
Karate Kid
Goonies

I also won Fantasic Four, which was an odd addition to that set, but I haven’t seen it yet, so why not. These will fit nicely into my growing collection of 80′s movies. Other than the obvious Ferris Buellers Day Off and The Breakfast Club, what else do I need to round my collection out?
