Pro Wrestling DVD Thread

[steve]

I guess this can be a general discussion thread.

But, I wanted to seek some advice. I've been a wrestling fan for 27 years but I've lost interest in it in recent years. But, within those 27 years I've amassed a huge collection of pro wrestling related "media." This collection encompasses somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 wrestling DVD's and 30 - 50 VHS tapes. Some of these items are highly sought after and valuable, especially commercial VHS tapes since they were often rental only and the only way to acquire them was to buy them pre-owned from the stores. For instance, WCW Halloween Havoc 1993 goes for around $50 on ebay. Some old WCW tapes actually sell for hundreds. Old WWF stuff is also valuable.

I have at least 10 of the seventeen sold in that lot.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to sell these. Should I try to sell everything in one big lot for like $7500 or try to subdivide them and sell off the really rare items individually, like the aforementioned Halloween Havoc tape? Or, should I run like 200 separate auctions for each individual item, which while time consuming, might be most profitable? Anyone try anything similar or have any advice? I also have an 8x10 signed by Owen Hart a few months before he died. Is that worth anything?

Thanks.

I can get wrestling dvd's online for around $3.33 each on average. Example, I just picked up 22 DVD's (All WCW PPV's from 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992) for $69 total including s&h.

You're best bet might be to make copies on to dvd's and sell them through a site like ioffer, that way it can turn into a residual income.

I like the way you think, sir.
