I’m thinking of digging out some of my old vinyl and CD’s and taking them up, might make £50 or so quid on them.
Depends what they mean by ‘buy’ – sometimes shops dealing with secondhand vinyl / CDs give shop credit rather than cash for stuff you bring in.
Lots of options for Music Magpie to make money – buy for less than they sell for obviously, they encourage people to send them job lots of stuff but they sell items individually , also encouraging people to lump stuff together in large lots means there will be rare and expensive gem amongst them sometimes.
They’re also reputedly slow payers and in large volumes paying late is a way of making money in its own right – Tesco funded its expansion form the money it made from paying its suppliers late.
Theres another trick too- if you send them stuff they don’t have to accept it and pay you for it, but if they don’t accept it….. they keep it anyway, they don’t send refused items back.
Oh… and they’re also really quite vociferous deleters of reviews 🙂
