Cheap new release CDs from £2.99

Hello again,

If you don't mind buying pre-played CDs then there is a really great website called Music Magpie that sells cheap albums and even lets you sell your old CDs to them. Its free postage and packaging as well.

www.musicmagpie.co.uk

Enjoy! (Its apparently run by the man who was behnd Music Zone as well if that is of interest to anyone!)

    Didnt they go bust (not exactly a selling point) !!!
  • Err good point!

    It's a bit a different to Music Zone though because it's selling pre-played CDs and you can sell things back to them. so it ends up costing me very little all in all.

    I bought a CD, put it on my ipod and then sold it straight back to them

    No legally you can't do that because of copyright laws.
    You can't keep the music AND sell it on cos it's making a copy.

    I would advise you not to post this kind of stuff on a public board because if an official wanted to they could forced the site to produce your details.
    It's very unlikely that an official would get a court order for such a minor offence but technically it's possible, so beware of what info you put out publicly.
  • Ooops thanks for that, I'm new to all of this forum business :( I've edited my post now.

    Typical.
    I have been looking at setting up a business similar to this with cd's and games!
  • Seems like a good idea though I still think Oxfam is the best place for secondhand CDs..
