Getting shot of audio cd collection, where?

Dano · 17 Jun 2011 at 09:27

Got a load of audio cd's that I could do with getting rid of, where is the best place to get shot of them? ebay? Musicmagpie?

Thanks

The bay or a charity shop. I had a ton of cds that where taking up room, so ripped the entire collection to flac and gave the cds to a charity shop.

There's music magpie, never used them myself but have heard some good things, although you need to enter all the barcodes in.

I used Music Magpie quite a bit last year, very easy and if you've got a load to get rid of you could get a nice little reward. Reminds me, I've got to box up some games/CDs for them!

Good to hear some positive stuff about magpie, I'll at least get easy funds back, thanks

Good work on the copyright infringement.

OP: You probably won't get much wherever you go, unless you've got rare imports or whatever, so brace yourself for getting 50p a CD and being glad of it.

I'll be happy for any cash lol, they're just taking up space and not getting used.

I've used these guys a couple of times. They're great if you want to quickly get rid of lots of CDs/DVDs/games and you're not too fussed about the price (CDs go for around 30p I think, but it varies). The only real downside is the whole process takes about 4-6 weeks to get the cash in your account (they pay by cheque).

Eh, you're the one that made the whinging comment. Now you're whinging again. Don't let me stop you.

Got about £70 in total for mine. It takes a long time for the cheque to come through, though. Would do it again.

i need a cheap cd source

I would recommend music magpie myself, though i never completed the service I got a good offer on my stuff and they offer to send you the box to send it back to them in. I used the iPhone app which can use the camera to scan the barcode and give you a price quickly - works suprisingly well and got a few albums worth 3 quid which is more than I was expecting.

Should really get round to doing it all again and sending them off this time!
