  • Hey,

    Has anyone got any tips on which CDs go for the most money!?

    All the recent CDs that I have entered that are only a few months old go are going for only £1.19. :confused:

    Does it also takes ages to search for the CD, and then display that that are not purchasing that title, all the time?

    Or is it just me?

    Thanks

    Just spent about 2 hours having a website that can't figure out how to receive a text-based input dissing my musical tastes!!

    £5 over about 30 CDs. Forgeddabout it :(
  • I may have jumped to conclusions a little in an earlier post
    They do offer lousy prices for a lot of things so it depends if you dont mind spending a lot of time typing in barcodes
    I just entered around 60 barcodes and about 50% were not recognized
    Half of what were left I accepted their quote because they offerred a reasonable price. Between 85p and £3
    For the remaining ones the offer was only 25p each so I kept them back
    I'm not sure if I'll do it again as it took up a lot of time

    In the end I sold mine to the Music Magpie people. Mainly because I had had the opposite experience, on Amazon or Play, they've been listed for months and nobody has bought them. In addition, I had to not list many because if they did sell, it would barely cover postage costs.

    Same here. Some CDs have gone for just 25p and the most I got was £3. Kind of hard to swallow when I got £1.27 for a CD I spent £17.99 on but I am broke, I have a tiny bedroom and so what else could I do. I am also on crazy shifts so it's hard to get to a post office, and then there's the postage to pay etc...

    I am suprised that Moneysaving expert are giving musicmagpie so much coverage.
    They give you pennies for CD's and sell them on at a huge markup

    I offered a Nick Drake 4CD box set and they offered £3
    They sell exactly the same item for £24
    I advise anyone to only go to them as a last resort
    First try Ebay or Gumtree or ask at 2nd hand stores if they'll buy them
    There must be a million ways to sell your own stuff for at least double what they offer

    They must be doing well out of the free advertising they re getting on this site

    They don't think things through properly before they put them in the weekly email - they were promoting Tesco's wine the other week :confused:
  • Robdolphin, I did not remember reading that, but what is wrong with Tesco wine?
  • Cashback Rewards are doing 7.5% Cashback.
  • cool, so they add that amount on to what they are going to pay you? or does just apply to purchases?
