Music Magpie: new quick way to sell unwanted CDs

jonwr

I was thinking of using MusicMagpie after stumbling across the post on MSE 'Boost your income in 68 ways' but not sure if anyone else has noticed that MusicMagpie change their valuations?
If you add a barcode, you'll get a valuation. Delete it, add again and its a completely different valuation. Did the same with their Android app and iOS app - valuation changes every time.
Not sure if this is common practice and after reading some of this thread, they often revaluate when they get the products anyway. Just annoying that you go to trade in, get offered 1p then it could be 19p next time. If i was trading 10 DVDs in, i could be offered 10p or £1.90!

I've always ha a much better experience trading in stuff in-store at CEX or similar than sending something away and not knowing how it will be received. Either that or just ebay has been best for me.

Primer

I had the misfortune to use music magpie a couple of years ago when I sold my old Xbox360, they were offering £30 compared to Game £10, so I duly packed my fully working machine up in its original box with all accessories and sent it off along with the games they were paying more for than Game, all was good to start, received notification of receipt and payment for the games but nothing for the machine and on questioning I was told my machine was with their technical department, then a few days later after more chasing they told me my machine was faulty as the cd tray would not open, funny how that can happen in the post as it was fully working before packed up.
There was no lines of argument with them as I said send it back then and I will take it to Game but they refused to send the item back as it was in their terms and conditions that anything not working is disposed of in an environmentally way, I suspect they realised they were offering over the odds for it and decided to lie to me as i had no means of getting it back so I got nothing for a fully working machine and had to take their word for it and as has been proved by the likes of watchdog they are a bunch of lying thieves.
