Anywhere in San Diego, CA that buys DVDs?

Is there anywhere in San Diego, CA that buys used DVDs?

Once upon a time, there was Movie Trader in PB that would take back DVDs for cash. They've since gone under after numerous acquisitions from what I can tell. Is there anywhere else like that that'll take old DVDs?

I'm not trying to maximize resale amount, just reduce clutter. Some money would be nice, though.

I am trying to reduce the time and effort involved, so I'm trying to avoid eBay and craigslist, instead looking for somewhere I can just go and drop these things off.

In my neck of the woods, I sell mine to the local pawn shop. Fortunately, pawn shops here are relatively non-sketchy, so I don't mind it. I even buy used CDs and DVDs there.

Best answer: There are still several Music Trader locations, and as far as I know they still buy DVDs.

FYE buys used DVDs and according to their website they have a store in San Diego.

Response by poster: Sweet, I've dealt with Music Trader before, but it'd been such a long time I didn't know they did DVDs, thanks!

No, skip music trader! If you want the best for your buck, go to Blowout Video on the corder of Rosencrans and Midway in Point Loma....trust me.
