Secondspin.com???

[elgerber]

I was reading on another thread on here, about a place that buys used CD's and DVD's called Secondspin.com. I'm wondering if anyone here has sold items to them before and if you've had any trouble getting your money???

Thanks!

Love them!!! I have bought and sold from them many times with no problems. you won't make a fortune, but I generally get higher prices there than I would at EB or through a yard sale.

Doesn't shipping the stuff to them eat up the money they give you for it? Vhs, especially when they only give you .25 a copy. Cds and Dvds offer better prices but I would think you would have to sell them several things to make it worthwhile.
It's a cool site- I might order some things. Have to hear more about selling to them, though.

My dh ships UPS at his work, so we could ship it for free, so it might work for us.

Anyone else??

Yes, you do have to pay for the shipping, so I usually only ship large orders and I ship them the cheapest way I can. As for how much you make, it depends on what you're selling to them. Things that are currently popular bring higher prices than old movies or albums that they either can't sell or already have a ton of. They list the prices that you can get on the website when you go to the "sell" area -- if you have something not listed, you can email them for a price quote.

Like I said, I've generally found their prices to be higher than those I can get through a yard sale or another trade in shop locally. But maybe it's just what I'm selling and I do ship a lot of stuff at one time to offset the shipping costs. Also, I usually just get store credit from them so I can buy something else later. They pay the same price whether you choose cash or store credit, but since I'm usually buying something all the time, it's easier to get credit. I'm a music and movie freak and buying and selling through secondspin has saved me alot of $$$ over time. It lets me feed the addiction without paying retail. I love them, but I guess it depends on your persoal situation as to whether or not it'd be worth it. HTH.
