Remember when AOL used to send you a CD almost once a month? If you saved all of those just keep sticking them in.

>1. How does the process work?

You scan your case and insert a disk. It gives you a price based on the case you scan.

>2. How does it verify the disk?

I’m not really sure. I played around with it, it didn’t seem to know the difference between a blank CD and a movie.

However you get a voucher for store credit not cash.

I guess you can sell it blank disks at a store you where buying something anyway.

3. How are the cases handled?

They aren’t. If you tell it you don’t have the case the machine offers less for the disk, but it doesn’t know if you have it or not. I’m not really sure what it wants to do with them, it has a trash can looking thing next to the machine, to put them I guess. (unless it’s for trash?)

4. Do you buy just the disk or the complete case and disk and inserts?

When you buy you only get the disk not the case. (but likely you can dig a case out of the trash can next to it)

[...] RedBox keeper – Sure, it doesn’t have the fancy packaging. But at least it’s Iron Man and not Let Me Blame the Other [...]

I presumed they were at all machines. Instead of selecting rent you select purchase.

Every machine I have been to here in Lexington, KY has the purchase option.

What cities are these “keepers $7″ located? I know that they are in the same machine, I just want to know where I can find one.

It could work, for awhile anyway, until NCR (or the retailers) figures out they’ve given away prices for a new DVD trade-in for a crappy disk because the people simply lied about the condition of the disk.

An interesting idea indeed. My only concerns are:

1. How does the process work?
2. How does it verify the disk?
3. How are the cases handled?
4. Do you buy just the disk or the complete case and disk and inserts?

I can understand purchasing from a machine but the trade-in part sounds like it might be stripped down (only accepts the disk).

Still it is a very interesting idea and since I am in Georgia I will keep my eyes open.
