    I'd never trade in electrical items, you always get much much more by selling them on ebay.

    Tesco may not be offering h best price but if you want something that can be bought with the clubcard deals it may be worthwhile as they offer 3 times face value.

    Would probably capture quite a few people whom don't know what to do with old electrical equipment and can't be bothered to search for a better price online.

    Do they publish the prices in advance or is it a bit like webuyanycar = you take your item to the store, get offered a carp price ut probably accept it anyway to avoid having to take it home?
    I think....
  • If someone else offers more, will Tesco pay double the difference?

    Out of interest, where DO you get rid of old electrical stuff that has a "do not put in dustbin" sign on side? I honestly have no idea, and have a pile of old electricals, mostly broken, that need disposing of!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    List them on eBay as "for spares or repair" at 1p and you'll be surprised how many people will want to come and collect them.

    Or if that doesn't work, your local dump would probably have an electrical recycling point you can dump your old stuff.

    Let's hope that their prices are better than Asda's pathetic effort.
