A question of DVDs

[neadods]

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?

IMO, any DVD you think you'll watch at least once a year is worth keeping. Any DVD you don't think you'll be watching again, or at least not for a long time, it's probably not worth it to hang on to it. Donating them is a great idea, and if you go that route, it should be to whatever charity you prefer, not something decided by a vote in your lj!

Another option for you, if rather than reducing your total DVDs you'd rather replace them with others you haven't seen yet, is Swap A DVD, where you get points for mailing DVDs you are finished with to other people, then you can use those points to get DVDs that other people are finished with.

S'all right, I never feel bound to follow the results of a poll. What I sort of wanted was blessing from fellow Team Wenchers to donate them elsewhere - which, according to the votes, I've gotten from a couple other members.

I wasn't familiar with Swap a DVD; I'll check them out. Thanks!

Swap a DVD is pretty great. And, if you also set up an account at PaperBackSwap, you can transfer your points from one to the other, so if you want to use your points from your DVDs to get books, or vice versa, you can do that.
