Where to buy same commercial DVD in bulk

December 17, 2018 4:14 PM

I want to buy several copies of the same movie DVD. They don't need a case, and they can be scratched. Do people sell this kind of thing on the cheap? Where and how should I search for this?

If it's not too many, the bargain bin at a store like a Walmart, maybe? At mine there's often a big box of crappy, cheap DVDs somewhere near the front of the store with multiple copies of the same marginal films for just a few bucks per copy.

If you have Big Lots stores near you, they often have a lot of cheap DVDs.

Best Buy also has bins of cheap movies with the same few over and over again.

Is it a specific movie or just any movie with lots of copies? I worked in a place that would sell you 100s of copies of the same movie probably really cheap but they have a limited selection. You say bulk in the title and several in the question. If you want bulk, they are a good source. If you want several, I think the suggestion to go to a walmart bargain bin would be quickest. They had or have a deal with some production company. If it is just multiple copies of any movie or if you want to call them and see if they have your movie, memail me and I will send you contact info.

Response by poster: Is it a specific movie...

Yes, and it is the 2006 animated movie Over the Hedge.

I should have left it at "several". Ideally, I'd be happy with 15-30 copies, and I remembered seeing something about getting old, possibly imperfect DVDS for cents on the copy when bought in "bulk".

It's $5 on Target's website. Not cheap, but not expensive either.

I will check with folks at my former temp work place. You never know what DVDs they have. If they have it, they will have 100s. I could probably negotiate it down to $1 or so a DVD. Shipping to the US or the North Pole or ???
