You wouldn't make as much money, possibly a tax deduction, but you might check with the local library and see if they want those DVDs. Many library systems will, withing certain limits on subject matter and licensing, accept and put to good use books, CDs and DVDs.

An acquaintance gave away about ten years of a magazine he had collected. The library gave him credit for the full magazine stand price of the magazines for tax purposes. Roughly three times what he paid as a subscription. He was then able to apply this to his taxes and have about $150 come back in his tax return. Not a bad return for what would have been filler for the landfill if he hadn't donated them.

E-bay, consignment shops, libraries and public service organizations, are potential places to have your discards do some good. Some give you some return. Others you just get a warm feeling and get your halo polished.
