Interesting idea. I'll have a look to see what kind of return they can offer.
|

I know that if I ever buy from eBay, I'm looking for something specific so it would be better if they were listed individually. That's just me though.

I wouldn't bother with Music Magpie - their prices are pence per standard CD.
Or E-Bay either - there are far too many people doing the same.
Your best bet is to either have a car boot sale, or pal up with someone else who is - and put them out at £1.50 each, and be prepared to take £1, and 50p for the last hour.
Other than that, check out your local second-hand shop - they usually do trade-in against new albums so that's a better deal as well.
If you hgave a seriously alrge collection, check Yellow Pages for any dealers who collect - they will buy in builk if you want them off your hands.
And as a last resort - send me a list - I may be able to take some off your hands - you have my e-mail? if not, I'll send it down.

I agree with Erin.
I bought a Johnny Cash CD from ebay for 1p...
Hope you have loads of CD's Ed :-)

A lot less hassle and no PayPal fees, Ed. :)

The problem with eBay is that you'll have to list all your CD's individually, i.e by ISBN number, which is obviously a real pain. I'd put through Music Magpie, as they'll allow bulk selling back to them, but probably only for a few pence for each CD, which depending on how many CD's you are offloading could be worth doing.

It's only a few hundred Andy, so I don't think it fits into the "large" category. I'm not sure how interested you'd be in most of them, I'm keeping the good ones! I guess I should put them into a spreadsheet or something.
£1 each would be quite a tidy way of doing it. The car-boot could be on!
We could do an AB raffle? Everyone who enters gets a chance to win all my junk!

Is the market about to be swamped with Steps and S Club 7 CDs?

CDs are so cheap i would bulk together - but in music style or artist though - dont mix, it will put people off.
the p&p puts people off so bulking works out better.
you could though, write a list out and offer people 3 CDs for whatever amount and they choose 3 from the list
|
|
If you have any local 'real' markets, there are often stallholders who specialise in these - they might make you an offer and save you time, postage costs and hassle.

Who do Magpie flog the CD's to ?.

I said I was keeping the good stuff.

Ed try your local 2nd hand record shop/stall.
How many have you got what type etc. Check to see if any are collectable, you can get up to about £20 for some.
|
|
Have you got any rare or special edition cds? Discogs is good for selling that kind of thing. It's where I'm keeping up my Foo's addiction :-)

My Mrs and Daughter went to see Steps last night at the LG arena Brum lol.
|

We have a brilliant second hand record/CD/DVD store in Dundee called Grouchos. I would take any unwanted CDs in to them - less hassle. You would only get a pittance on eBay so a similar shop or car booter would seem better.
|
|
If you mail me your list, I'd be delightyed to take a look, and I'll give you £2 each for any I'd like - this could turn into an auction!
|
|
£2.10p.
|

Good idea Andy... Post a list Ed :-)
