Selling Used CDs, DVDs and Games on the Internet

Have any old CDs, DVDs or even VHS tapes around that you don't want but can't sell? C'mon, admit it, you've still got that Debbie Gibson or New Kid on the Block CD that you just can't seem to pawn off at a garage sale no matter how low the price. Or maybe you've picked up the newest "special edition" of your favorite movie on DVD and you don't really see the point of having the original issue DVD. Or, heaven forfend, maybe you even actually still own VHS copies of all your favorite movies.

Or maybe you're like me and the CDs that you've outgrown are just a little too alternative or avant garde to unload at one of your local used media stores. Have you ever tried to sell a used copy of a Bill Nelson CD at one of those places? Forget it.

Fortunately, once again the internet is proving useful for more things than the dissemination of misinformation and other harmful enterprises. With a little luck, and even better timing, you just might be able to sell that old CD or DVD or VHS tape for cold hard cash. And, failing that, you might at least be able to trade it for something new.

Using any search engine, you can probably find several places on the web for selling or trading, but chances are you will be trying out at least one of the following. Probably the best place if you are just looking to make some cash out of your CDs is, appropriately, Cashforcds.com. Don't be fooled by the name, they also buy DVDs and even video games. And they pay out in cash. The only real drawback to this site is that you have to sell at least six items in order to make the sale, but that is probably due to the fact that they will pay for your postage to them. Which, as you will soon find out, isn't necessarily always the case. After finishing up your order, you will print out a mailing label that you just slap onto your box and send in. If you're going to be sending in large quantities of items you will soon figure out how important this might be in your decision of which site to sell to. Those jewel cases add up postage!
