Why buy second hand DVDs to clutter your house when piracy exists? Either way the rights holders earn no money.
The only reason I can think of is for the bonus content. When you pirate, you generally just get the movie/show and nothing else. No behind the scenes extras, no deleted scenes, no director's commentary, etc. Even Blu Ray discs are often lacking in this category. DVDs were peak for special features.
I sorted out my DVD's Kept the collectors stuff, moved the cheaper but beloved stuff to binders and threw away the chaff i bought for a dollar a disk when blockbuster went under.
I can keep my entire original collection easily on 2 hard drives these days
