I’ve been doing some purging lol. It feels liberating in some ways, but it’s very difficult in others -especially getting rid of some of my Jessica Smith workouts. It’s the first real serious purge that I’ve ever experienced. It started after I purchased my Wave and got a DVD tower to organize my workouts and then realized how many DVDs I own that I haven’t tried or just don’t do anymore.
I now have 2 large towers, a rotating shelf (I found it at a thrift store. It was holding figurines. I asked a guy if he had a DVD holder and he sold me the shelf for $10. It holds 120+ DVDS) 3 smaller holders and still have bins with DVDs in it. 😱
Even worse, I have been going through my boxes/bins/whatever-is-handy and finding duplicates! I was so excited to find a couple of new /sealed workouts to try at the thrift store sale, only to discover later that I already had the same new/sealed workout 🙄
It’s one of those laugh or cry situations. I love going to thrift stores and finding treasures, but so many just end up not being used. Have you ever done a purge? I have a feeling I might regret it later.

Since I've been streaming my workouts, I did a purge about two years ago. I now only have Eion Finn's Blissology DVD set; the rest I digitized. I'm a minimalist so being able to get rid of my collection was very liberating.
Instead of totally purging, you could store duplicates and ones you don't do often in the attic, shed, garage...whatever out-of-sight-out-of-mind place you can keep them and then go back six months to a year later and decide once and for all if they're worth keeping.

I only purge duplicates. I’m selective about what I buy, but I do have some instructors where I have all their workouts, Firm, KCM, almost Cathe, Bar Method. If the workout is cheap enough, below $5 with free shipping, I may give it a go. I got a few stinkers this way and quickly passed the, on to my sister who is a vidiot, too. Her son can resell on eBay if she dislikes 5e workout, too.

While I'll never ever give up my DVDs as a whole, cause I went almost 3 days without internet and you can't stream without internet, I really need to purge some of my collection.
I have quite a few I know I'll never do again, and have a few duplicates cause for a while my kids would get me a DVD for my birthday and accidentally get me one I already had. They tried to either go through my collection themselves or have dad check but well, sometimes I'd get a second copy. SHHHH, don't tell them cause they don't know about it to this day.
