A question of DVDs

When I was going through DVDs to show to my guests and then have a marathon on my own, I realized that I have an awful lot of them that are just *there* - I watch the movie maybe once every other year or so. And between the ability to rent on iTunes or Netflix, I'm wondering if it's worth having such a large collection of movies that are just taking up space.

If I keep them, then I'm not spending extra money if I ever bother to watch them again.

If I get rid of them, I have a couple of options. Donate them to Team Wench for the yard sale, for one, but they won't bring in a lot of money. Another is to donate to one of the charities around here that send DVDs to soldiers where they will presumably be more loved than they are gathering dust here.

And a third is... what, y'all?

Thanks! What on earth do people do with them, I wonder? I know that the used CD store in the town I used to live in would take them, but they'd...put CDs in them for sale, which made sense. Maybe they go to struggling musicians?

Not sure. I do use them occasionally (I get 50 packs of the flat plain style) for discs that I need to give away or transport, but for the most part I store silvers either on spindles or in 300-disc folders. (I need more of the latter, but they're expensive.) I have lots because I collect live music, and have only limited hard drive space for the lossless files.

It's a mystery! Maybe there are a lot of people making art from CD cases out there. :)
