Second-hand shops like Oxfam or similar places usually have pretty cheap DVD sections, and it's also worth checking out local flea markets or antique fairs where they sell bulk lots. Online, sites like Wallapop, Vinted, or even Facebook groups dedicated to movie collectors have stuff at better prices than stores, though you need to be careful about the product's condition and shipping costs. Some old video rental shops that are still around are clearing stock at half price, so if there's one near you I'd recommend checking it out, and also look at the sale sections in discount stores like Action or outlet shops when they have sales.

Online platforms like Wallapop or Vinted are going to be lifesavers here, because lots of people get rid of entire DVD collections and sell them for a fraction of the price, plus you get to see actual photos of the condition before buying. What others mention about flea markets is fine, but they're more hit-or-miss - it depends on what shows up that day - whereas with apps you've got a permanent catalog and can search for exactly what you're missing. Also check out local Facebook groups dedicated to buying and selling movies or collecting, because sometimes people liquidate their DVDs without any big advertising push and the prices are incredibly cheap.

I recently had the same experience looking for some old classics, and what's worked best for me is checking Facebook groups in your city where people sell used stuff, because you find collections that people want to get out of their house quick and they'll negotiate the price without all the drama you get on other platforms. It's also really worth checking out independent bookstores or record shops that sometimes have a little corner with old DVDs at giveaway prices, especially if you ask whether they have anything they don't have on display.
