Want to get paid?


Summer is around the corner but some of us are still spring cleaning. Megan just wrote me tonight telling me that she got $127 back for selling 73 CD’s. That’s great Megan! I am ready to sell more unwanted CD’s and DVD’s to free up some space under my couch. For those of you who haven’t followed my blogs, read my ‘Spring Cleaning your Music Collection’ or better yet, go to our website and click on the link. (For your trouble, I’ve included a coupon there to save 20% off all video’s).

Are you a student? If you are, did you know that you can get practically anything at better-than-wholesale prices? Watch for an upcoming blog on student discounts that will cover airfares, medical benefits, computers, software, etc.

It almost pays to go back to school just to get in on some of these discounts.

Spring Cleaning your Music Collection


Here’s a little spring cleaning tip for you this weekend. If you are organizing your CD collection and find that there are CD’s that you just have not played with lately, put them aside and sell them. I just did with about half of my collection. With an iPod (or other music player), this is the time to transfer your music from CD to your PC or download it directly to your player.

Selling CD’s on ebay is not easy – you still have to take a picture of it, upload the picture and write something about the artist, music, its condition, terms and conditions of the bid, sale and shipping costs. To me, that’s too much work. Go to our website to find out where to sell your unwanted CD’s, DVD’s or games painlessly and quickly. You just sign up by entering your email address, shipping address and payment type, either by PayPal or a check. Then you search for the CD that you wish to sell to get the value or their buying price. Depending on how current or how popular the CD is, they will pay 25 cents up to $5.00 for each single CD and more for boxed sets. I think in general, they are pretty fair. I just sold a Mary J Blige CD for $3 but the Aida music from Elton John and Tim Rice only fetched 25 cents. If the price is satisfactory then you check it and add it to your cart. When you checkout, all the CD’s that you plan to sell will be in the cart and the total will show a credit. From there, you can choose to buy CD’s from them or just checkout. Upon acceptance, they will display a page with your order number on it and an email will be sent to your email address. You will receive an email detailing what to do next which is to package your CD’s and address it with the order number that is in the email. When they receive your CD’s, they will credit you by sending you a check or crediting your PayPal account. And one more thing, they will credit you back for the postage that you paid when you shipped them the CD’s using the media mail rates.

When it comes to spring cleaning, the key is to reduce the clutter and this is one painless way to reduce dusty CD’s from your music collection.
