“APP-A-WEEK: Declutter”
By Andy Feng on Monday, August 17th, 2015
Happy Monday !
Hope you all had a great weekend. This past weekend I took some time to really clean up and organize my apartment. I’m currently in a phase where I’m actively trying to simplify and “declutter” my life, this includes body, mind, and surroundings. This is basically the opposite of hoarding. Simply put: I get rid of stuff I don’t need or even use that often and the rule of thumb is if I can’t remember using this object within the past year, I get rid of it.
So, back to the point.. I was sorting through some old stuff and realized that I had a bunch of old DVD’s and Blu-rays sitting around (about 30 or so) and as I shifted through the super awesome movie collection I’ve curated over the years, I couldn’t help but to think about how utterly worthless these physical disks are in today’s world. In the instant streaming, on-the-go mobile world we live in today, there blu-ray disks might as well be VHS tapes. What’s VHS you ask? My point exactly…
As I was contemplating throwing the whole mess of disks away (I knew I would probably never actually use them again), I had a brief moment of clarity and thought maybe I should do some googling and see if I can get some money from this.. I mean, after all, I did spend a idiotic amount of money procuring all this worthless plastic.
I didn’t really care about how much I would make selling it, I was just looking for something quick and easy, something that required minimal effort on my end to successfully ship out my used blu-rays and maybe get some spare change in return. That’s when I found DECLUTTR.
Decluttr (quite appropriately named I might add) is a service that seamlessly buys up your used CD’s, DVD’s, and Blu-Rays.
They have a handy little mobile app that allows you to scan the bar-code that comes with your disk cover and BOOM! You get an instant offer for that title and it automatically gets added onto your shipping list. When you’re all done scanning everything you want to sell, you can download a free Shipping Label to send your package with then some day in the near future (hopefully), you’ll get a check in the mail. Brilliant! Albeit, Decluttr won’t pay you much, but the point is that you can easily get rid of otherwise useless stuff without feeling the guilt that comes with tossing everything in the trash.
Not much more to say here.
If you’re looking to get rid of some old CD’s, DVD’s or Blu-rays, go check out Decluttr and download the app. You can start scanning and selling within seconds and before you know it, you’ll be living in a peaceful, clutterless environment. (and by clutterless I mean CD-less..)
