Miserly march has started and I am trying to make and save some money!

We don't need all of our DVDs anymore, and want to get rid of them all. Has anyone ever used this website? Roughly how much do you get for your DVDs?

Thanks

Yes, i have, though i sold CD's rather than DVDs.

I sent them 175 of them and received approx £150. Not to be sniffed at tbh, but not a huge ammount either. Some they offered as little as 20p for, others £3 or £4.

The tedious bit it typing all the barcodes in tbh, but i neede the money more than i needed the CD's.

We use them. There is an iPhone app for scanning now.
Sometimes they take ages to process a sale but they seem reliable and honest.

I've used them, quite random in pricing at times but I just sorted them into 'I'll accept 20p' and 'I'd rather keep'

Thanks very much. That will go on my list today.

Deemented - impressive amount, I would be thrilled with that!

I want to do this. Will take me some time to pair up the cases and CDs though!
Postage must be quite a lot.

They collect for free if you are sending a certain amount I think

I have, also got an average of about £1 each for a box of 25ish CDs, but they seemed to be either about 80p or about £4. The boxes and covers need to be in good nick. I spent ages shaping broken boxes about.

Pretty sure postage was free.

wornoutbutstillwonderful · 07/03/2013 18:58

Postage is free, they give instructions on how to parcel up.
I, ve sent a parcel off last week I was wondering how long it takes to send payment back.

ChipTheFish · 07/03/2013 19:02

I've used them. Most of our cd's we were offerend about 20p for but some of them (the more obscure ones it seemed) were around £3.

For some reason they didn't want to offer anything for our Madonna or Travis albums!

Do they take games? I have a load of PS2 games to get rid of, but not boxes, just sleeves.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 08/03/2013 11:37

Yes they take games.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 08/03/2013 11:37

Um not sure about the without boxes bit. I have sold my unwanted games and CDs there.
