Decluttr - Part 1 the Pre-Review Review


So this is not me reselling it is me getting rid of DVDs I don't watch anymore.  I have about 3-400 DVDs in my collection.  Time for a lot of them to go.  Changes in my personal life dictate downsizing.   After reviewing quite a few  different sites to sell these I chose this one.

What Decluttr does:
They purchase used DVD, BluRay, Music CDs, Video Games and some electronics. 

How it works:

  • You input the UPC code into the website and they place a value on the item.  DVDs for me ranged from 5 cents to almost $4.  A three DVD boxed set got me $10.72.    To input them I used the iPhone app.  They have one for Android users as well.  It uses the camera to scan the barcode.  
  • The items all go into a virtual basket.  You can review it and see the total.
  • Once done I switched over to my PC and logged into the Decluttr website and reviewed my basket.  Once you agree to the terms they send you an e-mail with shipping label and manifest.  Print both of these out, it actually comes as a PDF so just print the whole document.
  • Next box up your items into one box, they prefer it this way.  Otherwise you need to e-mail them so they can send another shipping label.  Place the manifest in the box before you seal it.
  • Affix the label to the box and drop off at UPS. 

What next?
Wait for them to receive it and send payment.  They offer direct deposit or they will mail a check.

What I found so far.  I made my first shipment of 79 Anime DVDs.  On I received a little over a dollar a DVD average.  Values where all over the place.  Neon Genesis Evangelion went from 30 cents to $3, Ghost in the Shell TV series went from 7 cents to under $3.  I will be waiting to see how fast they send a check and how fussy they are before I post part 2 of this review.  With the review I have seen so far I am optimistic.
