Swapping out your used DVDs for Blu-Ray

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin

Now that Blu-Ray has emerged as the clear winner in the Blu-Ray versus DVD war, many people are contemplating using this format exclusively. With a resolution which is six times higher than conventional DVD’s, it may very well become the format of choice for just about everyone.

So, what happens to all those DVD’s? Should you just let them gather dust in your den? Take up space in your storage? Get crafty and figure out how to use them some other way? Well, if you’re not Martha Stewart and you don’t want to have to dust or store them, there is another solution for your DVD collection. Sell them back!!! There is a great market for used DVD’s, and you can either sell the for cash, or use their value to trade for something you really want such as books, video games, or even small electronics. By utilizing the service of a company such as Abundatrade, you can turn those excess DVD’s into any number of things. Not only are you keeping them from taking up space in your home or a landfill, but you’re also off the hook when it comes to figuring out some other use for them. Don’t way-trade or sell back today!

What should you do with your used CD collection?

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin

Remember the days when you had to buy an entire album just to get the one or two songs you liked? Even if there were just one song we really wanted, we still shelled out the cash for the entire thing. Thankfully, with the increased popularity and improved technology of digital music, you no longer have to purchase entire albums. Digital music has become so popular that, in 2012, sales of digital recordings are expected to overtake physical CD’s for the first time ever.

While this sounds great to digital music aficionados, it also leaves many people with one really big question—What do we do with all of those CD’s? As sales of new CD’s continue to drop, it opens up an entirely different market revolving around the sale of used CD’s. If you have converted the majority of your musical library to a digital format and now find that you have a surplus of CD’s, don’t throw them out! They are worth money and the easiest way to realize that is to sell or trade them online. Often, you can choose between selling your CD’s for cash or trading them for books, movies, or even electronics. So before you toss that pile of CD’s or store them in the attic, think about recycling them instead. Not only is it better for the environment, it’s better for your wallet as well!

Facebook Movie Giveaway is Underway!

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Tracy

We’re now in our fourth week of our new Facebook Movie Giveaway Contest and things are going great. So far we’ve given away Soul Surfer on DVD, The Fighter on Blu-ray, and the Back to the Future Trilogy on DVD.

This week’s prize is Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise, on Blu-ray. Yes, the original lip syncing while dancing in his underwear around the living room scene. Though he had already appeared in a couple of big pictures, Taps and The Outsiders, it wasn’t until Risky Business that Tom Cruise officially became a Hollywood Hearthrob. Back then my mom used to refer to them as “Hunks”. Now it’s you chance to own this Blu-ray so you can see Mr. Cruise in his tidy whities whenever you want.

How do you enter? It’s so easy even Tom Cruise do it! You need to “Like” us on the AbundaTrade.com Facebook page and fill out the quick entry form. We’re going to have a new DVD or Blu-ray every week so you’re going to want to come back each week and re-enter. While you’re there make sure you check out what other kinds of cool deals and promotions we have going on and remember that AbundaTrade.com gives you the most cash for your used CDs, DVDs, Video Games and Books.

Greetings to the Great White North from the Dirty South

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Matthew

 

Earlier this month, AbundaTrade.com began accepting trades from the fine citizens of Canada. We have long had many wonderful Canadian customers purchase from us, and we are excited at the opportunity to send some love back their way by offering the most for their used CDs, DVDs, and video games. And we’re not stopping there, oh heavens no! Trades with a minimum list value of $75 are eligible for free pickup and shipping by UPS. That’s right – we are willing to come all the way to the door of our Canadian brethren to help them get the most cash for their used CDs, DVDs, and video games. If you are a Canadian interested in trading with us, you can view the full ins and outs on our Canada page.

We are truly excited to step forward with our business and engage in a mutually beneficial relationship with the fine citizens of Canada. However, we must openly admit that we are shamefully unknowledgeable on Canadian culture and history (I personally only have knowledge relating to Canadian celebrities and Kids in the Hall comedy troupe), but we are energized to become educated on all things Canuck – and invite our Canadian traders and customers to share with us any information they would like to share about their wonderful country. It doesn’t even have to be historical or statistical fact; we’d love to hear about what you as Canadians love doing and what Canada means to you.

I’ll even share with you about the southern United States to get the ball rolling. When we have friends and family over to grill out in the backyard, it is not a “barbecue” – it is a “cookout”. We save the term “barbecue” for when we are making pulled pork, ribs, or some variation of slow-cooking part or all of a pig. It gets way, way more complex (and a little heated) if you talk to barbecue enthusiasts about it, but that’s for another blog altogether. Your turn, Canadians!

As we await nuggets of Canadian knowledge, we invite you to contact our Trade department if you have any questions about our free pickup and shipping of Canadian trades – or any question you may have about AbundaTrade.com at all. We also invite you to peruse our online store to celebrate Canadian heritage by jamming out some Celine Dion or Bryan Adams. Or you can watch the United States and Canada go to war in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Until then, we shall say farewell as the Canadians do: goodbye!

Need a little caffeine for those upcoming all-night cram sessions?

Posted on August 14, 2011 by admin

It’s back to school for many this week.  AbundaTrade may be able to help students and parents alike.  Students, maybe you want to meet your friends at Starbucks for your study group (and a little gossip) before that big test.  Parents, you may want to take advantage of some free time and relax with a “cup of joe” while your kids are at school.  Whatever the reason, just refer a friend to AbundaTrade and you may qualify for a free $5 Starbuck’s gift card on us, plus your friend will get a $5 gift card, too!

Refer a Friend!

Here’s the details.  Nearly half of our customers do multiple trades. We are thrilled that you keep coming back to us!  If you like our trade program, you’re going to love our new Refer A Friend program!

Every time you refer a friend to us and they submit a trade of $50 or more, you AND your friend will each be given a free $5 Starbucks Gift Card.  You (the referer) can refer as many friends as you want. Your friends (the referee) can only get one card per household. (The referee must complete the trade within 6 months of the referer’s trade to qualify.) Contact our Trade Department if you have any other questions.

We make it easy for you to share this program with your friends on Facebook. Once you’ve spread the word, sit back and wait for those gift cards to start rolling in. Give in to temptation and maybe try one of those krispy rice treats that’s the size of a small puppy. Hey, it’s your free gift card so go crazy!  Some rules do apply.

Take a minute and refer a friend right now.  There are two easy ways to qualify for the referral program:

1. Every time someone submits a list, we ask how they heard about us. Tell your friends to
select, “referred by a friend” and then enter your name.

2. You can tell us your friends names and we will verify them with our records.

email a friend

And when you are done with your textbooks, do not forget to check our Trade Calculator to see how much we will pay you for your used textbooks.  Happy studying!

The Abunda Numba Cruncha

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Tracy

We’ve been crunching some numbers, here at AbundaTrade, and we recently discovered something that we think is pretty darn cool. Not only are we good at math…but on average we accept 25% more items than our online competitors, and we pay an average of 50% more per item!

Yes, we know that sounds impressive and you’re probably wondering how we came up with such numbers. It was easy. We took actual lists of items submitted to us from our customers, and ran them through the competition’s website. Low and behold, our offers were better than anything our competition offered. We’re talking waaaaaayyy better.

At AbundaTrade.com we pride ourselves in knowing we have the best customer service, offer the most value for your collection, and accept the most items. We always knew we were the best at what we do, but validation is always good.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 2…the end or is there more?

Posted on July 10, 2011 by admin

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" from Warner Bros.

In case you have not heard, July 15th marks the release of “Harry Potter the Deathly Hallows-Part 2,” the finale to the Harry Potter film series.  If you are a loyal Harry Potter fan, chances are you have already purchased your movie tickets.  With school out of session for the summer, it will be hard to find last minute tickets for the midnight showings offered this Wednesday night.  The film will be offered in both 2-D and 3-D formats. The 3-D glasses many theatres will offer for this installment will have round lenses like Harry’s rather than the rectangular lenses on traditional 3-D glasses.  Whether you prefer 2-D or 3-D, from the looks of the trailers, the movie will have plenty of action, special effects and our favorite Harry Potter characters to make the trip to the theatre well worth it.  Break out your wands, capes, broomsticks and magic spells and get ready for a wild ride!

Even after the final film, the Harry Potter era will not be over.  Thanks to Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling who has just announced a free website she is launching called Pottermore.  Rowling has announced it will be available to all beginning in October 2011 and if you visit the Pottermore website on July 31st, 2011, Rowling will announce how some may be able to visit the site sooner.  Click on the arrow below to view her announcement describing the new site on .

Of course, if you need to brush up on any of your Harry Potter, remember we have a wide array of Harry Potter books, DVDs, interactive DVD and video games available here at our AbundaTrade shop.  Just type Harry Potter into the title search bar and all of our Harry Potter offerings will appear.  No magic wand necessary!  Check back often if you do not find the Harry Potter you are looking for as we add new items to our inventory daily.
