I spent some time working at one of these establishments and it's a pretty cutthroat business; you will get a much better return if you sell off yr stuff online. Still, I suppose there's an opportunity cost to that. The resale market for used media is pretty poor; either way you do it, my guess is that you'll be disappointed about what you get (especially with the low-list-price DVDs that it sounds like you're flush with). My personal advice is to pass yr unwanted stuff on to someone you know. After all, if it interested you enough to buy it in the first place, wouldn't the greatest benefit be to let someone else get some enjoyment out of it? Not a very capitalist solution, but...
