You love to watch movies, and you're building up a collection, but you don't like to spend a lot on DVDs. Who does? But with some great online sites, there's no need to spend sticker price on DVDs ever again. From bargain basement sites to used DVDs, there are a myriad of options. What follows is a quick guide to cheap DVDs online.

1. eBay. An obvious choice, but definitely the place where you can always score some really great deals on both new and used movies.
2. Buy.com. The DVD section of this complete online store (which sells tons of other products) is top-quality, and the store offers a "low-price guarantee" which means that the store has market-leading prices (typically well under $10).
3. Half.com. A branch of eBay, Half.com is a way to buy and sell used DVDs (and other products). You can typically save at least 50% off the sticker price on DVDs, and sometimes find good ones for only a couple of dollars.
4. Amazon. One of the most popular places to buy DVDs online, of course, but there are often many bargains to be found here - sales, discounts, etc.
5. DVD Empire. Lots of DVDs here, some at really good prices. The Godfather for $10.99, for example.
6. DVD Planet. Good prices on new and used, new releases and classics, all genres including adult.
7. eCampus. Lots of good DVDs at good prices - many well under $10.
8. Title Trader. List your DVDs on this site, and ship them to someone when they request them. Earn credits for this, and use those credits to get free used DVDs you find on the site. Similar to book-swapping sites.
9. Zunafish. Another swapping site, lots of used DVDs here - $1 fee per transaction.
10. Deep Discount. Lots and lots of new DVDs here. Good prices, but the best bargain is the section titled, "DVDs Under $10".
