How much should I sell my stuff for?

I know this is probably not the best place to post this (sorry) but I know you lot and trust your opinions, and I promise it's only a quick question.....

I'm going to try and flog some of my stuff at work via our intranet sales board. I've got quite a few CDs to sell which are quite recent CDs...what price tag should I put on them? They are in perfect condition and have only been listen to a couple of times (I know, I know :rolleyes:) - I was thinking about £4?

I really want to start to eat into my overdraft before Christmas, so am keen to sell as much as possible, for as much as possible!

Thanks.

    I'd check what they're going for on Ebay and start there. (Alternatively a quick answer is as much as you can get:D .)

    Thanks. I've found in the past that stuff I've sold on works for sale boards (not sold CDs though) has gone for a lot more than on ebay. I dunno, I'm tempted to put everything up for £4 each....

    I would say £4 is reasonable. Good luck!

    I'd try that and if they don't sell you could drop the price or look at Ebay/amazon.

  • I'll have a go and let you know..

    (hey that rhymes!)
  • I'd say £4 is a bargain - use ebay as a fall back - what about dvds hve you got any you could flog too? - God luck

    I do have some DVDs but at the moment I'm reluctant to sell them, especially as they are hubbys too...

    It would be much better for me to sell my stuff via the for sale board at work as I wont have to faff around with postage etc...my husband has just donated a Milli Vanilli CD to the pile, but not sure if I'll list that one...too embarrasing and certainly not worth £4!

    Easy, list them all at £4 each. Then next week list the remaining at £3 each. Then £2 and then £1!

    Definitely £4 - if people know they can get the CDs delivered to their desk, and deal with you in person if there's anything wrong with them they are far more likely to buy from you than Ebay. Good luck and thanks for the idea - I'm going to try my work Intranet as well, I'd never thought of that.
