Selling CDs

I'm sure this has been discussed already here, but…
Where are the best places in the area to sell CDs and get the most return on the product?

Good question.
Between CD Game Exchange, CDepot, and Soundgraden, I've gotten the most from Soundgarden, least from CD Game Exchange. Of course, price the give and level of pickiness tend to be very correlated.

Has anyone sold to CD Cellar?
I've acquired way too many CDs and am thinking of paring back the collection.

kosmette's selling the duplicates between our collection, and i've been told we can never get divorced now… based on her research secondspin.com is playing between $3 and $5 for a cd, but one has to factor in shipping.
anyone sell to either CDepot or Joe's?

yeah, from my exp. Soundgarden gives you the most money, but they also pass on the most product. They will give you $4 avg on your discs, but they will only buy like MAYBE 50% of them.
whereas Record and Tape Traders will but every non scratched disc you bring to them, but only for like $2 avg.
or you could sell em on Ebay if you have more time. which is what I'd do.

I sell to CD Cellar - make about $5 each on average. I'm sure I could make more or online, but don't have time for that. I've been going to CD Cellar for years. You get cash or a discount on purchase. I always get sucked in and buy more cds.

or prehaps we could setup a trading forum… were we can post a list of cds we want to sell/trade and make matches that way, since most of us buy new cds with our trade anyways.

>>>> I have to agree with the Tee Silk……I always take mine to the Cellar when the time comes…..I also have sold a shitload of DVD's to the place…..pretty fair price and they have taken damn near everything I bring to them!

There's no such thing as "too many CDs".

well actually there is… i've got dozens of cds i no longer listen too or care to own, the problem is i know i wont get back enough to justify selling them or i didn't pay much for them to begin with and wont get anything back for them in return. now if cd /game exchange pays two bucks regardless maybe thats one way to go. or setup a swap site ;)

I think kosmo is really interested in setting up a swap site.

I've had very good luck at CD Cellar, they take everything I bring 'em, even the total trash, and pay decently for the good CDs. I also have good luck finding things there that I want. But I'd be interested in a board trade thing too.

hmmm… instead of trying to setup a cd exchange on another website maybe it could be created like the ticket x-change forum here.
i was thinking today it would be nice to have another forum in which we could post links to other websites and resources. since the forum dosen't have search or signatures… it would be nice to have a place to post links to personal websites, favorite bands or labels, etc. that way it would be easier to find a site without having to look through old forum posts.
