Peerflix
Here’s a neat idea. Netflix is a DVD rental service, where you fill out a list of movies you want to see, they send them to you to watch, and you send them back when you’re done. The service costs a fixed amount each month. Djangos (and other services) will purchase used DVDs from you at a fraction of their retail value and also sells used DVDs at reduced prices. If you want to get rid of DVDs you don’t want and replace them with ones you do want, the price difference between what they’ll pay you and what they charge can be significant.
Peerflix, though, provides a platform for trading DVDs. You make a list of DVDs that you no longer want, and another list of DVDs that you’d like to get. Peerflix matches people up and enables you to essentially make one-for-one trades. Normally it costs 99¢ per trade (which is much less than you’d be losing by selling your DVDs to places like Djangos), but if you sign up now, you’ll get up to 100 free trades through the end of the year. There is no membership or monthly fee. It’s pay as you go. I was skeptical when I first read about it, but it looks like a great deal. Sign up at this link.
Update: I just received the mailers for the DVDs, and I'm not thrilled. They expect you to mail only the disc. I have several pristine DVDs and cases that I was hoping to trade for equivalent discs and cases. I know it's the disc that counts, but I like the package as a whole. I'm going to have to rethink this service.
