EagleSaver: buying DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K, CDs, video games, and books for cash payment

EagleSaver is an American company dedicated to buying physical collections of entertainment and reading media. Its main activity consists of purchasing DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K Ultra HD discs, audio CDs, video games, and books —except textbooks— from individuals who want to turn them into money. The company presents itself as an alternative to selling on marketplaces and auction sites, with a process that avoids listings, waiting, and negotiations with buyers.

Materials it buys

The buying catalog covers a wide variety of physical media. For DVDs, it accepts movies and TV shows, from Hollywood hits to independent titles, as well as box sets and special editions, both used and new and sealed. For Blu-rays, it acquires movies and TV shows in standard format, 4K Ultra HD discs, and collector's editions or complete box sets. For music CDs, it buys everything from pop, rock, country, and classical to rare pieces, as well as complete collections. For video games, it accepts titles from the major platforms: PlayStation (PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, PSP, and PS Vita), Xbox (Series X, One, 360, and Original), Nintendo (Switch, Switch Lite, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, DS, 3DS, and Game Boy), disc-based PC and Mac games —only new versions— and retro games. It also buys books, provided they have an ISBN, and does not acquire textbooks.

How the selling process works

The system is structured in three steps. First, the user enters the barcodes of their items into the online pricing tool to get an instant quote. For CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and video games, the 12-digit UPC or 13-digit EAN code is used; for books, the 10- or 13-digit ISBN. Second, the seller prints a prepaid shipping label and sends the items at no cost. Third, once received and processed, EagleSaver issues payment via PayPal or check, at the customer's choice. The company states that order processing is done in one day and that the buyer receives email notifications at three points: when the order is completed, when the items are received, and when payment is sent. Order status can be checked by logging into the account.

Purchase conditions and requirements

EagleSaver does not charge fees for the service and covers the cost of shipping via prepaid label. The minimum value of the items actually shipped must be $10 or more, and the minimum average value per item shipped must reach $0.85. The company commits to paying the full quote and, if it determines that some items do not meet its minimum condition standards or are not purchasable, it returns them free of charge. In that case, it informs the customer by email and offers the option of receiving the items back or donating them to a local charity. The company warns that its buying catalog may vary depending on resale value and available inventory: if demand for an item is low or there is excess stock, it may not acquire it. For items without a UPC, such as club editions or low-budget releases, it generally does not make a purchase, although it accepts that the seller search for the code on Google if it is a regular edition whose code has been lost. It is mandatory to attach a note on the back of the item with the ISBN or UPC used to obtain the quote.

Payment and service scope

Payments are made by PayPal or check, and the company states that they are made in days, not weeks. EagleSaver presents itself as an American company and claims to have been used by more than 20 million customers worldwide, according to its own site. It accepts bulk sales of large collections and offers a risk-free quote guarantee. The company also makes available a free app and specific selling guides for books, audio CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, and video games.
