    Nothing to count yet but sold some cd's on musicmagpie that I have been meaning to do for ages and managed to book my first MS for about 3 weeks! Will count when cash received, going to list some more stuff on Amazon and ebay now while motivated!

    Whats the crack with the CD's i have plenty of old ones that i could just as easily copy and then sell the originals (yes at my own peril as its illegal) but do you really make much of cd's

    Just got home from my weekend down south, with some great news, the organisation we were supporting via our friend the plinthian made over £300 on the day from 'beer fines'.

    And having logged in to my email I have £20 amazon awaiting me, and have sold a book on greenmet, so thats two books in the last week plus the £6 I already had waiting to be withdrawn at the end of the month.

    Take a look at this thread:

    Most CDs aren't worth much, but if you have any unusaal ones they can be worth more. I usually check on eBay as well. Chart stuff does badly on eBay, but some rarer CDs go for a lot, so its worth the 2 minutes to check on eBay before I consign it to Music Magpie!

    Hope this helps...

    Most of mine only went for 30p each, I priced them up and decided against it several times, but eventually rationed that £11.66 (for 27 cds) in my bank is still better than a box of unwanted cds sitting by my laptop (where they have been for about 6 months now!)

    So no, you don't make much at all but I'm trying to declutter too so it was better than a poke in the eye :D

    Can I be added for the £10 a day please. I am going to get cracking now. Summer holidays for a teacher can be boring!

    Another two small sales means £4.34 to add. It's only small, but every little helps!
  • Can't see if I updated yesterday or not so apologies if I'm repeating myself.

    made £4 yesterday mystery shopping and another £29 today.
    Also got £6.27 from quidco which is a nice suprise, and treated myself to some new perfume using a voucher I found in my old handbag over the weekend so saved £9.50.
