Getting rid of CD collection

Designated surfer · 15-06-2015 9:16am #1

I had a look on the forums and couldn't see any answers to this apart from 2+ years ago so assumed this might have changed by now.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get rid of a CD collection and try to get some cash? The likes of Music Magpie and Amazon haven't quite made it here yet so I was wondering if anyone has had any joy getting cash money for Cds...

I really don't want to just bin them as once upon a time a good deal of money went into that collection!

Cheers

Try somewhere like adverts.ie, but prepare yourself for getting a lot less cash than you think you might get. Unless they're collectable there's not much of a second hand value on cds.

Yeah I thought as much. Just can't be arsed with people on adverts offering to swap 50 Cds for a tea bag or similar. You know the way yourself. I'd be better off just keeping them I reckon. If only UK companies would bother their arse extending to ROI!

Car boot sale?
In the same boat myself, I have quite a few hundred and always thought about selling, but they are worth nothing.

Thinking that if I went to a car boot sale, and have a huge box of them then I get get 50c per album.

Think that might be the only way. Mad to think how much you pay for them and how little they're now worth. Damn the digital age!

I think you'd be better off just holding on to them. They probably have more sentimental value to you than financial.

put em in the attic and give em to your kids.....teach them what real music was like, i hope your taste in music is acceptable lol good cheap 18th birthday pressie, dad/mam has been holding onto these for you...sentimentally to the kids far more than what you will ever get out of them!

If there's any albums that you hold value in having physical copies of then keep them. Anything else you could sell in something like Adverts but expect very little for them.
