Easy ways to sell old DVDs?

For many years I would buy DVDs. Now most of them (a hundred or two) sit in storage. I'd like to get rid of them but I'm far too lazy to sell them all one at a time and shipping them all would be a pain.
Are there any decent companies that I can just box them all up and send them to and get a check back? I realize they probably aren't worth much.

Of course there's always eBay. The make it kinda easy to list on there by just typing in the UPC # and it pulls up all of the info of that DVD, but no easy way on the packing part.

Pawn shops and video rentals shops sell used DVD's. Probably get pennies on the dollar, but could unload the lot.

Do you have the original cases?

I know that there's a store here called Wherehouse Music, that buys used CDs and DVDs. They've got 2 options, cash back, or credit. If you take the credit option, you get more for your stuff. A couple of years back I took about 150 CDs in and got credit and got some new music and movies. I think you could even check prices on their website.

I suspect there are other places like that.

A little searching online and presto!

Buy 'em for $1.50, sell for $3. It's a get rich quick scheme.
Unfortunately, Pat, I am over-stocked with the things right now. They sell better in the winter around here.

It is not a sale site, but a trading site. I have used it for about 6 months now and no complaints.

Movie Stop is an option. I'm not sure if they outright buy DVDs, but you can trade them in. Plus, I'm sure there's one near you.

Open a store in your garage and rent/sell them. Genius!

Put them on Craigslist as a lot. Just sold a couple thousand LPs and 45s that way. Worked out well.
