Anyone know of a good place one can buy blu rays and DVDs for a good price that has a good selection?

I’m talking new if possible but great condition used works too. I like buying complete seasons of shows and I hate having to scour for them

Amazon is surprisingly not great alot of the time. I’m trying to build up some physical media collection for shows I enjoy over and over

IRL if you can - they're awesome.

The one in Dallas is huge. Like a gamestop for dvds but the size of a warehouse. It is pretty close to a Half-priced books, same concept but books, and hitting the two of them back to back is a fun way to spend a day.

I've found charity shops good for DVDs and CDs, if only because every so often someone with the same taste gets rid of their collection so you end up with a little cache of "you may also like" but created by an actual human.

I know you said buy - but the public library has a good collection (at least where I live).

I miss the Seattle Public Library!

I COVID-moved out here to Dogpatch with the DPL's tiny permanent collection and 3 InterLibrary Loan requests at a time.

It makes me want to be a hoarder.

The local used-media store (2nd & Charles) isn't buying right now because they have cartons of DVDs/Blurays in their back room and no more space for more. So they ought to be willing to discount. I've never gotten a bad disc from them.

I haven't gone in a long time but I used to like buying DVDs at Bookoff. Its a japanese second hand shop but they had a good selection of English language dvds and cds. It looks like they only have locations in Southern California and New York.

Ebay?
