    If you have got the time to wait, worth checking to see if any of the CDs are worth anything of value on the Amazon Marketplace or PlayTrade, but then you will have to wait to see if anybody buys the CDs. Compare prices between amazon & Music Magpie, if there's only a few pence between the price you will get from Amazon less their fees, less your postage+packaging costs it's easier to say !!!!!! it and sell it to Music Magpie.

    If you want the money quickish, than MusicMagpie gives between 30p and £3 per CD, just make sure the CDs when you send them in ain't scratched and the cases are not broken as they charge for replacements. It takes 3 or so weeks for the cheque to arrive once you send off the CDs.

    Offline, see if your local town/city has a Cash Converters/CEX style shop which accepts CDs, the money they will offer won't be great (if they do offer anything), but it's pretty much instant cash.

    Or 'job-lot' up the CDs and try to sell them on ebay (say if you have 100 Cds, 4 listings of 25 cds in each)

    Hope that helps Go Cat :)

    I found music magpie useless, they dont take singles and offered peanuts for everything else. i took mine to cash generator, at least now i dont have to pay both ebay & paypal fees plus going to the post office every other day

    It depends what your local cash generator offers in terms of cash :)

    (My local cash converters offer 20p per CD when they are taking in CDs, so Magpies's 30p is good for me)

    (Where is the best place to offload CD Singles these days?)
