Scooby-Doo is one of the most beloved cartoons of the past 40 years. Popular in its initial broadcast and adored by children watching in syndication for decades afterwards, the cartoon has always had a devoted following. While it is still possible to find Scooby-Doo on television, having the TV series on DVD means that you can watch your favorite episodes at any time.

Shop for the DVDs in a retail store. This is an especially good plan for new releases, since bookstores and music stores often carry only recently-released DVDs. Shopping in person allows you to browse, and you will be able to take your DVDs home immediately, without waiting for shipping.

Check DVD re-sale sites. Older DVDs are often available from re-sellers at substantial discounts. Searching for the DVDs you specifically want can lead you to many of these re-sellers. Other re-seller sites are linked directly to major primary sellers, such as Amazon.

Bid for DVDs on eBay. While it is never certain that you will win an eBay auction or that you will save significant amounts of money, eBay can be a good way to get DVDs at a discount. Search for "Scooby Doo" on the site to see which auctions are now in progress.

Tips & Warnings
When bidding on eBay, check the site frequently to make sure you have not been outbid. If you want to keep prices low, hold back on bidding until near the end of the auction. If you want multiple seasons, try buying a box set that may reduce your costs. Seasons one and two are available as a combined package.
Re-sellers, especially those selling secondhand DVDs, can sometimes provide an inferior product. Be careful to check online reviews of their service before you spend money. If you need your DVDs in a hurry, either buy them at a store or select rapid shipping from an online company. In many cases, the companies have a default, slow shipping method to save on costs. Make sure you know exactly what you are buying. There have been many incarnations of Scooby-Doo, so it is important to know which one you're getting.
