Who bought your dvds? Relatively recently?

Nobody. They’re still in a box.

I moved a couple dozen of them over to a hard drive back then because I was traveling a lot and it was much handier than carrying dozens of discs around.

Need to dump them though. Or most of them. Some have really nice packaging/booklets and will be hard to part with.
 
You could probably sell them on Amazon or Ebay. I occasionally buy CDs, then rip to MP3, if I can't find MP3's for a particular album.

My wife has dolls but she isn't parting with them.

My mother had almost 100 barbie dolls, we had to sell them to help her move after my dad died. If you're wife enjoys them then keep enjoying them, these no market for them right now. We luckily found someone who absolutely loves barbies and wasn't just going to resell them.
 
I have thousands of CD's boxed up, no idea what to do with them. I looked at that decluttr.com website but I would get pennies for each of them and would hardly be worth the effort to manually type in the barcode for each of them and then box them up to send off.
 
I ripped all of my old CDs and digitized them. I still buy mp3s with Amazon credits. I like owning my own playlists and music without a subscription (thank you iBroadcast)

I keep my DVDs. It's not hard to pop one into the player to watch an older movie that I really like. Sometimes things cycle on and off of streaming. So they are all in a cabinet and easily watchable.

1. Throw them away.
2. Give them to Goodwill.
3. Give/Trade for Credit to a used book store.
4. Keep them as they will be immensely valuable once St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago drives the US back into the New Stone Age.
5. Box them up and mail them to someone even dumber than I am.

Any ideas?

I am ashamed to admit this, but I even have a lot of videocassets. At one point my wife wanted to get all the classic Disney cartoons movies on VHS. Same question for my VHS tapes.

While my wife would never agree, I think I would have no problems getting rid of our LP's. I really want to do so before people figure out vinyl really isn't all that cool. Our CD's are worthless.

6. Rewatch every single DVD multiple times ... frame by frame.
7. Take copious notes and analyze every scene.
8. Write multiple books describing your findings.
9. Start a podcast called "OSC's DVDs".
10. Monetize the podcast and make a gazillion dollars.
11. Buy more DVDs.

Same here. I like old movies and with streaming, especially in the last few years, it's become harder to find some of them as they cycle on and off. I've got enough storage space to keep my dvds around, so why not?
 
Is this real life ?

I have over 1000 CDs and 40 DVDs. If anyone came after any of them they would have to pry them from my cold dead hands !

With apologies to Dylan Thomas ...

I will not go gentle into that techie driven night,
I will burn and rave at close of day;
I will rage, rage against the dying of the true good light.
