Film Vault - anyone used them to sell discs?

I know there's nothing wrong with selling HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs on the classifieds but I've been looking for other options (apart from eBay, as a friend has had some bad experiences).

Someone mentioned a company called Film Vault in a thread the other day and I was wondering if anyone had used them to sell discs.

Apparently, they're the UK's largest buyer of private collections and have been going since 1978.

What do people think? Always best to go on the classifieds and set your own prices or use a company like this and get 'professional' valuations?

I've got about 20 HD-DVDs I haven't watched for ages and also some other rare ones (bought from iNetVideo and DVDWorldUSA).

I've used them a few times, Very reliable, Always quick with collection and payment. If you have got quite alot of stuff to get rid of and you want to do it in one go give them a try, They are fair with their prices too.

They sound quite interesting - I've got probably about 160 vhs tapes that would be worth getting rid of for free just to clear the space. Saves dumping them I suppose.

Unless you've got anything rare, they probably won't touch them. I had about 300 vhs & they didn't want them. Off to the local charity shops they went.
