On and near Yonge Street: There are two stores with large selections of second hand XXX DVDs. ABC Books, west side of Yonge, between Wellesley and Bloor, in the back, just past the cash register.
The other one is BMV Books. It's a few doors west of Yonge, on a side street one or two blocks north of Dundas, where The World's Biggest Bookstore used to be, (10 Edward Street). They have a lot of porn DVDs in the back of the store. BMV has at least two other locations, one on the west side of Yonge, a little bit north of Eglinton, (2289 Yonge Street), and the other on Bloor St West, south side, a couple of blocks west of Spadina, (471 Bloor West). I don't know if they have XXX DVDs in that store, but the Bloor St store has a very large collection of DVDs for sale in the basement. I haven't been in the Eglinton store in almost 20 years, so I have no idea whether or not they even have DVDs there. I'm sure they would tell you that if you phone them.
bmvbooks(dot)com is the website. They buy and sell, but for DVDs, the condition of the box is really important, and they wouldn't be interested in mass market mainstream movie DVDs. Almost 25 years ago, when I was moving, I got more than $300 for four boxes of magazines at the Elm Street store, but there were a lot of rare titles.
Anybody looking to sell comic books should check with the BMV Bloor West store, (and also more than one other place, for comparison), but most likely they wouldn't be interested in most titles published after the early 1980's, unless you have 'key issues'. Most comic books published after the 1970's have little to no value if you're trying to sell them, because there either were too many copies printed, or too many people have unread, mint condition copies, bagged and boarded, which were purchased as an investment, rather than because the owner likes comic books. If you go in a comic book store and see a book on the wall that came out six months ago, and is priced at $200, it doesn't mean that your copy is worth any more than 25% of the cover price if you try to sell it. If the copy on the wall sells, the store owner will just go in the stock room and put another one in a bag for the wall. The same applies to sports trading cards. Old stuff in excellent condition is valuable. Anything after the early 1980's, other than rookie cards, big name stars and 'specialty cards', is worth practically nothing - supply exceeds demand, and too much of it exists in top conditions.
