Hi.
I have an unopened cd blue ray disc of BBC Doctor Who The Time of the Doctor.
A neighbor was throwing it out, so I took it.
I'm not interested in watching it, and I believe it might be worth something?
In your opinion, where would be a good place to sell it?
Thanks in advance.

^^ Looks to be the soundtrack and not the episodes. I don't see very many on eBay, so I would throw it on there and see what happens.
Now I'm thinking I have to catch up on Doctor Who.

Sorry, but i doubt it will bring much. If it's on a DVD or BLU-RAY or recorded digitally in any way, it's not worth anything. The only reason why some of the comic books from elder years are worth the dime they were printed on is the War. People did paper drives to help kill Nazis. This is why Wonder Woman or Superman's early issues are so rare. The only two things that makes something valuable is rarity and fanbois. As annoying as they can get, they are willing to pay through the nose to get some arcane part of their collection.
When i was a kid, i bought the first two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issues way back in 1978 and again for the second issue in the way early 1980's (first appearance of the TMNT and first appearance of April O'Neal, all stuff that makes a difference). Around the time the 1991 movie came out, i sold both for 2000$ and i, being a 15 year old kid, thought i was RICH. If i saw it, i bought two of them.
Those two issues are worth about 50$ together, these days. This stuff relies on how many there are, how tough the stuff is it's printed on, and how old it is. Hang on to Time of the Doctor. Thing about us fans of stuff like this, we can't get enough. We practically SNORT the Starship Enterprise.

Even so. I doubt it'll bring much. Too many people bought it. Rather like the "Death of Superman" issue. Folks bought that like hotcakes, too many of them bought it and they all took care of it. There's a million Death of Superman issues in circulation but only a couple Action Comics number 1's, if you get my drift.
EDIT: Something so stupid i actually lost IQ points at seeing it.

I never read the book, but after the first episode I had to read it. The book just left me wanting more so I'm so glad I have the show to look forward too. Love the cinematics.

I read the book a while back (thanks to Elektra), but would have watched this just for McShane. Then Laura and Mad Sweeney go and steal the show. Glad to hear Season Two will ramp up the pace.
I still say there's nothing to disprove that Wednesday and Al Swearengen are the same character.

Or "Episode I" figures when the first trailer hit. People would line up at Toys R Us hours before opening, then swarm in and grab everything they could. Then the movie came out, and they were sitting on cases of Jar Jar figures for years. Vintage Star Wars figures still on the card are worth a lot because us kids opened and played with them! My favorite was the Emperor's Guard, with the awesome crimson color and cloth cape. I actually have one still in package that I got pre-eBay.

Ian McShane wasn’t there; I met him at an event before the show came out and he is also super cool. I tried Deadwood - the actress who plays Calamity Jane I can’t decide whether I love her acting or she’s overacting. Also the delivery is almost Shakespearean when they discuss the Pinkertons - it is undeniably an amazing show and a work of art but every once in a while it seems so over the top.

I enjoyed it. Everything is pretty left field. If The Force Awakens touched on a lot of plot points we have seen before, TLJ has literally nothing we have seen in a Star Wars movie.
BTW, I still haven't seen Justice League.
You aren't missing much. The actual league is fine, the movie isn't.
