Music Magpie

Just seen the ad and thought I would try it out. Used 24 Season 7 [6 Discs] as a yard stick, £35 retail, was offered £3.75. Then Generation Kill [3 Discs], £12.99 retail, offered same, £3.75. Won't be using this site me thinks, any one have any comments or alternative sites

It's handy if you want to clear out quite a bit of stuff. I used it without problems. If you have the time and inclination and are prepared to hold out for a good price you can get more selling individually on ebay/amazon.

How much you paid for a cd originally is immaterial. They all have to be processed and offered for sale at today's New/Used prices on sites such as Amazon and the cheaper ones generally sell first on there. I recently cleared out almost 50 cds, gathering dust, in two lots. Each lot netted me £26.00+ and no postage to pay and the space they've left is bigger than you think! I shall definitely use Magpie again.

The original retail and age obviously isn't immaterial, the two examples I gave were valued the same but one was 3 and the other 6 discs, one was a very popular [24], Generation Kill not so. 24 has not even been opened. My point, or question was that it is not very accurate in its valuations. I have many collector editions box set etc, I'm not confidant these would be priced fairly

Magpie are very open about the way they work. They have a maximum price that they 'offer' for any cd when you key the number in. They buy and sell items that happen to be cds. They have done their research and know exactly how much they can offer for any given cd to give them their required profit margin on the market place. You don't have to accept what they offer, you just withdraw the item. You may be better off going to a record fair where you might find a dealer prepared to pay a bit more. Even that is not carved in stone but good luck anyway.
