    thankyou jumbo juice but I still would like to know if they still give you the same price if you take the items into the store? I looked at tradeyourgames.co.uk and they dont accept pc games but thankyou anyway

    does anyone know where I can sell videos? I suppose a car boot is the only option?

    If you're planning a car boot sale you could certainly try off-loading them but I'd say it's not worth doing one just to sell videos. In my experience, no-one wants them and you'll be hard pushed to give them away for free. I had a box of videos and gave them to my local charity shop to get rid. I think most charity shops tend to sell them for 10-20p (if they're lucky!!!) and chances are they probably end up throwing a lot away.

    Some sell well on Amazon its worth a look as you might have one or two worth a few £. Most are worthless
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155
  • id opt for cex. much higher price paid by them. e.g, transformers 2 on blu ray: £3 on music magpie, £8 at cex. and on amazon, music magpie sell it for £13, as opposed to cex for £15. you can also trade in at cex and get £10 to spend with them.

    music magpie seem very cheeky to me.

    the best thing to do is list a joblot on ebay, just one parcel to post out then.
  • Just had a go with this; accepted an offer of £11.90 for about 19 items. OK, so it's not a huge amount, but nearly 12 quid for a bunch of stuff I don't listen to (there's one or two CDs in there that I've had for coming up to 10 years and haven't even opened) is better than nothing :)

    did you check out ebay to see what the individual items are worth - worth seling the decent ones on there and then shifting the rubbish over to them..
  • Don't sell your CD's on this site, you won't get a cheque or any email help, they are useless boxed up all my cds and DVDs after being told I'd receive £20 for them. 3 months later nothing, I contact customer services nothing. Use eBay not Music Magpie.

    I have received cheques for my CDs but I only sell them the ones I cannot sell myself on Amazon or Play.com. Not used their customer services though so I have no comment personally on that

    Their feedback as a seller on Play is quite bad though and a lot of comments on there about poor customer service and discs not arriving, not playing etc. They list everything as "very good" condition so a lot of comments seem to be about items not being as stated
