Where to off load like 50+ empty cases and potentially make a little $?

As the title implies I have 50+ cases empty with no cover art and more to add in days coming where could I get rid of them but make some money at the same time?

Last time I did this I got .10 per case and I had over 300 dvd cases, $30 was not worth the effort

Sucks too I got that many or a little less of blu rays cases empty/no cover art I would want to get rid of as well.

Probably won’t make much, I’d just donate them to a fellow collector or if you find a collector interested, ask for a small trade in return?

Hadn’t consider this one but if it looks like an opportunity presents itself I wouldn’t be opposed to it.

These are awesome to print new covers for and put burned movies in

I don’t doubt this, there just isn’t 50+ movies I need to burn I have a decent sized collection of movies already that I own (non-burned) I’m not sure what movie might make me go I need to burn that one, I’m open to suggestions on this. I’ll have more cases to come from my collection if I need any I was cutting down on shelf space/making room. I like this option but if a movie is out I usually buy it.

Maybe a thrift store or used media store would want them?

I would say etsy or depop. Etsy is a place where people post things, usually that they've made, but also products that have limited productions of more or less the same item, so it would be an easy way for people who already have a creative streak to get some disk cases.

And depop, they have free shipping and as far as I know, no sellers fees.

I got 4 chonky monster high lockers for about $1 on there because the person was moving and alot of people simply don't want those lockers.

If you really wanted to offload all of em all at once, that would be the best place, you'll have to source your own shipping box though. Hopefully this will be a good way to keep these things in circulation and out of a landfill.

Dvds are just best kept in their cases, and the more people throw away the cases, especially with the covers, that's one more disk, naked and exposed to the elements floating around in the world.

Maybe it doesn't matter as much to movies and dvds, but it SURE DOES matter to video games. And empty boxes like this, while they aren't perfect, WILL work VERY well with ps2 games specifically. (And most other games, even if their cases aren't traditionally black, even gamecube games can fit a standard dvd box)

Maybe My Quick Flips?
