Like any trader does without charging? Try the altruisic approach and actually give your stuff away. I've done this in many cases, not even asking for the cost of postage or discs. IT'S NOT YOUR MOVIE!!!
Here's a cost-saving tip. Wrap all 3 discs in a plain 8.5 x 14 sheet of paper like a Christmas present, and put three stamps on it. Stick it in your outgoing mailbox instead of driving to the post office and waiting in line. That will cover the postage, and the odds of something happening to the discs are quite slim. If so, the amount you will have saved overall when you've shipped several of these will more than cover the cost of shipping out a replacement set for that instance where something gets damaged. Case in point: If Netflix can mail millions of discs a day in plain paper envelopes and lose virtually none of their stock, it's a testament to the resiliency of DVDs and shows there is a more cost-effective way to ship discs in the mail.
