Hiya,
I was looking on musicmagpie to sell my cd's and they were offering 30p for pretty much all of them. I want to get rid of my old CD's but thought I would see if there was anywhere else online to do.
I came across zapper.co.uk - never heard of it before but typed in my barcodes and they have offered between 50p and £2.47 for each cd which has so far offered me £5.07 for four cd's! A lot better than musicmagpies £1.20. I am going to add some more now as I have loads but thought I would check on here first!!

Did you use Zapper in the end? If so then were they any good? Am looking for some feedback before I decide whether to use them.January Grocery Challenge 2016 = £119.41/£250.00

I tried to sell a few CD's on that well known auction site, some of which were my late fathers and never opened. The response was pathetic, but I suppose it depends on the type of Cd. Maybe nobody wanted brass band music.
But if you can be bothered, perhaps try some yourself, either as individual items, or maybe groups.
If they don't sell, you'll not have lost anything, assuming you have picked 99p as the starting price. Even starting prices up to £4.99 are only a few pennies.
If they don't sell that way, then sell through that site the original poster has mentioned.0 -
no i didn't - still don't know whether to ! xxx0

Just sending off a package of 30 books, CDs and DVDs for which Zapper have offered around £25, will report back as and when payment made. I gave up on Music Magpie as website was so flaky, then discovered Zapper buy books as well as CD/DVDs, which is a major bonus - it gave values upwards of £1 for obscure business books I thought I'd never get 10p for! You do have to have at least 25 items hough whereas Music Magpie will accept packages of 10+ items.
UPDATE: happy to say that my books and DVDs were accepted the day after shipping and a cheque arrived 2 days later. Marvellous! Well done Zapper. Will use again. Also thinking of getting the school PTA to collect unwanted media from parents to sell via Zapper and raise funds for the school.0 -
I'm just setting up a list of stuff to sell to zapper, was wondering if anyone on here has used them.0

I have £7.25 listed so far and will trawl through the churches bric-a-brac stash to see if we can raise some money. Like a previous poster, obscure books, in our case theological studies, which we could give away, are fetching £1+

Zapper are well-known to the charity sector. They have been around for years and act as a disposal portal for unsold books, CDs and DVDs.
Not quite sure what they do with them, but will be scanning a load of DVDs in to add to the books I have already scanned.Never Knowingly Understood.

They dont seem to be overgenerous in their offerings, I was offered less than £2 for items I know would go for well in excess of £10 in a few test cases, however certainly convenient for moving on a quantity of items if you dont have the time or patience to bootsale or suchlike.0
