Mid-to-late 2000s (approx. 2005-2010)
Material
Polycarbonate blank discs with write-once recording layer, stored in a cardboard retail sleeve with plastic shrink-wrap.
Condition
Mint/New in Wrap. The item is factory sealed, which is critical for blank media value. The outer packaging shows minor shelf wear but remains intact.
Demand Level
Low to Niche. Most users have moved to USB or cloud, but a small niche of hobbyists still uses blank DVDs for vintage camcorders or archival purposes.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $12.00
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $15.00 (Original retail when popular)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay sold listings for 5-packs of branded DVD+R discs typically range from $6 to $10 plus shipping. Larger spindles of 50 or 100 offer better value, making small 5-packs harder to move at high prices.
Description
Factory sealed 5-pack of Maxell MaxData DVD+R blank discs. Each disc features 4.7GB data capacity or 120 minutes of video recording time. Supports speeds up to 16X. These are write-once, single-sided discs ideal for archiving photos, videos, or data backups.
Key Features
Brand reputation (Maxell is a top-tier media manufacturer), factory sealed status, compatibility with older DVD recorders, and high 16x burn speed.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Maxell branding, logos, and 'Blown Away Guy' logo on the bottom right. Factory shrink-wrap is consistent with OEM packaging.
Flaws to Note
No functional flaws as it is sealed; however, the outer cardboard shows very slight corner softening. Demand for physical media blank discs has significantly dropped in the age of cloud storage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari. Blank media is easily shipped via Media Mail and has a consistent, though small, buyer base on these platforms.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Factory Sealed' in the title. List the specific format (DVD+R) clearly, as it is different from DVD-R. If you have multiple packs, bundle them to save on shipping and increase the total sale price. Use the keyword 'Archival' or 'New Old Stock'.
