Have a collection of CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K discs, or Video Games you’re ready to part with, but don’t live near one of our store locations? The Beat Goes On makes it easier for Canadians to sell their used entertainment collections through our Sell By Mail program.
As a Canadian owned and operated business, The Beat Goes On has spent over three decades buying, selling, and trading physical media. While our retail stores continue to serve local communities in Ontario, our mail-in selling program allows us to connect with even more customers across Canada, including those in cities, towns, and regions where there may not be a physical Beat Goes On store nearby.
Whether you’re downsizing, clearing shelf space, looking to trade for something new to you, selling by mail can be a convenient way to get value for your old movies, music, and games.
What Is the Sell By Mail Program?
Our Sell By Mail program allows eligible customers to sell collections to The Beat Goes On without visiting a store in person. Once your items are reviewed and approved, we provide a prepaid Canada Post shipping label so you can send your collection to us.
This program is designed for customers who do not have a nearby store or who cannot easily access one. It helps extend The Beat Goes On’s buying program beyond our physical locations, making it possible for more Canadians to sell or trade their used media collections from home.
What Items Can You Sell by Mail?
The Beat Goes On currently accepts the following items through the Sell By Mail program:
Items should be complete with their original packaging whenever possible. Condition matters, so discs should be clean, playable, and packaged securely before shipping.
Why Sell or Trade Your Collection to The Beat Goes On?
When you sell or trade with The Beat Goes On, you’re working with a Canadian company that understands the value of physical media. We know that collections can be personal, carefully built, and sometimes difficult to part with. Our goal is to make the process straightforward, fair, and efficient.
Selling by mail is a great option if:
- You live outside the areas served by our retail stores
- You have a collection of used CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K discs, or games
- You want to sell to an established Canadian business
- You prefer a simple mail-in option instead of trying to sell items individually
- You want payment by e-transfer, cheque, or store credit
Store credit can also be used online, making it a useful option if you want to trade your old collection toward something new-to-you from our website.
How The Beat Goes On Prices Used Items
The Beat Goes On uses the same pricing method for mail-in purchases as we do for in-store purchases. Our pricing is based on our curated master list, which helps determine what we pay for each item.
Condition also affects value. If a disc requires repair, the purchase amount may be reduced to account for the added repair cost.
How to Prepare Before Contacting Us
To help us process your request as quickly as possible, please prepare a few details before reaching out.
First, confirm whether there is a Beat Goes On store near you or one that is reasonably accessible. If there is no nearby location, the Sell By Mail program may be the right fit.
Next, prepare either a list of your items or clear photos of the spines. Spine photos can be especially helpful for larger collections because they allow our team to quickly review titles, formats, and approximate value.
When contacting us, please include:
- Your city and province
- The type of items you want to sell
- The approximate number of items in your collection
- A list of the items or photos of the spines
The more information you provide upfront, the easier it is for our team to determine whether your collection qualifies for the mail-in program.
How Shipping Works
Once your collection has been reviewed and approved, The Beat Goes On will send you a prepaid Canada Post shipping label.
Before shipping, please make sure your items are packed carefully. Items should be complete with original cases and packaging whenever possible. The box should also be well reinforced to help protect the contents during transit.
Taking a little extra care with packaging helps reduce the risk of damage and ensures your items arrive in the best possible condition for review.
Payment Options
Once your approved items have been received and processed, The Beat Goes On offers payment by:
- E-transfer
- Cheque
- Store credit
The store credit offered is 30% higher than the cash offer and can be used in online purchases, making it a convenient choice for customers who want to browse our website and continue collecting.
A Better Way to Sell Used Media Across Canada
Physical media still matters. From favourite albums and classic films to out-of-print titles, collectible editions, and video games, many used items still have value and demand.
The Sell By Mail program helps give those items a second life. It also allows customers from more regions across Canada to participate in The Beat Goes On’s buy-and-sell experience, even if they don’t have a store nearby.
