Is Amazon market place worthwhile for selling CDs

Hi, have a load of CDs to get rid of and Music Magpie are offering me 30p each in the main. Has anyone sold much on Amazon - is it worth the effort or should I just take the magpie offer.

Would be glad of any thoughts.

    I have sold and still have some CDs listed on Amazon. However i am very selective in what I sell as the fees are enormous. I only sell those CDs that are high in the ranking and are more than £1 .

    What would you say is a high ranking of a CD? With books I normally chuck anything over a million but not sure with CD's. Some I've got are on 300,000 :S

    At least with Music Magpie you will get rid of them all at once and if you have enough they will provide the packaging and arrange collection. If you have some DVD's or better yet some video games you can add to the total quite quickly.

    I rarely go over 100,000 for CDs and only list them near that mark if they are expensive enough.

    Have you got a CEX near you?? You can check what price for cash or trade in they give you online before taking them in. They do vary as they will give you only 10p for some CDs but more for others, e.g 50/60p or for more recent ones anout £1 (??). Think their prices go on nationwide stock levels over all their stores. Worth a try if there's one local to you.
