    A few rare ones you can get good prices on Amazon, But they don't sell many. I've sold a few rare ones for £10-£15.

    If there just run of the mill pop like stuff. Have a look at music magpie at least you'll get a few pence for them. Some people sell job lots of Genere's on ebay not sure what sort of prices they get

    Amazon is worth a look - moved a few older ones that way. You won't make much on them after Amazon fees though, so depends if you think it is worth the hastle.

    Free listing day on eBay on Sunday - could sell as a lot (or split into smaller lots) with a sensible starting price.
  • tried www.gumtree.com ?

    you could do individual ads, or as a job jot..

  • For a guide to which ones are valuable check out Record Collectors Rare Record Price Guide. Some CD singles are worth a lot of money to collectors.
    Which artists / groups do you have?

    Compile a list and sell them as a job lot. Try and do some research if there are any rare ones there.

    I just really have the same idea to say, if you are feeling generous a charity shop is always nice but if there are a few rare ones or you want to try and make a few pennies list as a job lot on ebay covering the costs of postage and fees and hope for luck of the draw, depends completely on the collection as to the price they will reach but CDs aren't very big business these days!
