Selling Euros

Wondering where you can sell your unsed forign cruuency without getting had! The buyback exchange rates everywhere don't seem so good.

Any ideas?

Or should I just hope I remember to take it with me for next time!

Cheers

    It is the beauty of euros that you avoid having to change them every time - at a considerable loss (you lose buying and you lose selling back). Whether the last holiday was in France and the next one in Spain.

    The simple answer is not to cash in and put what's left on one side for next time. If I was a neighbour I would pay you close to the official rate to take them off your hands - which would benefit me and you (you to a greater degree!) All my friends and neighbours know that I will willingly buy up any of their left-overs!

    Schiff is right,either keep them for next time or sell to friends and workmates.
    Don`t let the money grubbers catch you twice.
  • Keep them for next time-it's something put aside towards your next trip. Otherwise, sell to a friend at the going rate if they will.

    I agree with the above, I have some euros left from a recent trip and will keep them for next time, i bought some of my euros from a friend at work much better way to do it. I'm sure someone will want to buy them off you
