Second hand online DVD/bluray sellers in UK

[ekrabappel]

With the price of DVD and blu ray discs on the up I have been looking at purchasing second hand movies from overseas. Although I use Amazon for new purchases some movies and sets never get good discount prices so second hand is becoming a likeable option. I have discovered several stores in the US that sell second hand movies and post to Oz with reasonable rates but have had no luck with the UK. I do not mind if the store has an separate online presence or an E-bay store so long as they have a good selection at reasonable cost and offer reasonable postage. Anyone have any candidates? Would even consider having the discs and covers removed from the cases and sent over minus casing as DVD cases are cheap enough in Oz.

Have noticed that Amazon has really good postage rates but when you buy from a seller using Amazon marketplace the postage rates go balistic. I had one seller wanted (through Amazon) $55 to post one $4 DVD to Australia.

I've been selling off my DVDs and while pricing I came across mainly UK sellers as my toughest competitor.  They have low postage costs considering the distance. 

Here are some:

Hi Nardia,

Thanks for the reply however all three sellers that you suggested are only selling new products. I have no trouble locating cheap sellers of new products in the UK but cannot find second-hand sellers. I am after a UK based version of a company like second spin.

E-bay store on not I'm not fussy just so long as they have a big selection of second hand movies at reasonable rates.

 Cheers

Okay, no worries.  What I was meaning was that I found that their new discs were competitively priced against second hand (sometimes cheaper).  If you could get it new for the same price as second hand, wouldn't that be better than buying second hand?   I'm guessing you'd be after a bulk buy though.  If I do come across any with second hand/used, I'll let you know. 

Cheers!

Hi there,

 How do you post your DVD or games to customers. As the only method we use is click & Send and Australia postage costs are way to high $7.10 for 1x game like ps3 or xbox 360 to be sent AUS wide is ridiculous !

 As large letter only allow 20mm thickness do you know how other sellers send in Australia DVD's and games standard postage ?

 Whats best method please REPLY BACK ASAP.    thanks!

wouldn't buying from overseas be tricky if you got a dodgy one?

You have dragged up a thread that hasn't had a post in a month and you want a reply from a particular poster (who is another member, not eBay staff) ASAP? And has nothing to do with the subject of the thread, which is buying from the UK. Good luck with that.

I hate it when that happens
