It'll be interesting to see what they actually pay once they've received them and assessed them. They majorly ripped me off 😔
Walked up the shop to get a few beers ...someone left a bag of DVDs out ...whacked em up on music magpie in about an hour ..got about £50
Thanks for sharing Nick, you put alot of work into sorting through all those CD's!
Here's an idea, .... For Sale, 724 Classical Cds ... £250 the lot . 🤔😁
Charity's round here have a load more than that, and can't get £50 the lot. And all have stopped taking them in from about five years or so now, that's CD's and DVD's, They might take a few Blu-rays, depends what they are. Before the pandemic at the end of the Boot Sale, when everyone has gone, there would be box's of them just dumped on the side. I remember the scene in Back to the Future 2, when they land in the alley, There were loads of Laser Disc's wrapped for the Garbage. Laser Disc! was still relatively new at the time. Mind you we were watching the film on the, then Brand new VHS Machine. Go-Figger.
Great video - Wouldn't have thought the takings would be that high!
I love the funny picture on the wall of you and Andrea it's brilliant! 🙂
Carboot haul today was fantastic
Ugg boots 50p
Magic of the gathering cards SEALED 2packs one deck £2

This was very informative! Thank you so much!
Great video nick, with the cds that have no value you can sale the cases for 1.25 on ebay as a repayment blank case or bulk them like 5 for 5, one listting and let it tick over I do it with dvd cases. Thanks for the content.
This was really interesting, thanks Nic :)
I don't think that people really appreciate the fact that the bulk of the first ever released CD's, in the UK were Classical CD's, The sound on these will outclass, any of the Pumped up to 12 disc's we have been getting over the last 10 or so years. I have been getting CD's long before they became Commercially available to the Public. (ABBA - The Arrival) being the first. They were the Japanese 3" disc's, as i was a club DJ at the time. They came with a Adapter ring they kept falling out of. By the time the Players manufacturers put the little 3" dink in the tray, the 5" had taken over. Thanks for sharing.
You must have a lot of patience Nick, you work so hard and deserve all the profit you make.
would be good to see a follow up on what is reject, in my limited experience they often reject the ones they quoted high on.
Another interesting video from you Nic. It's really interesting seeing a 'behind the scenes' reseller. I have just bought a go pro 9 black and looking forward to recording when we do boot sales again, then make videos and post on youtube
This was a big help to me nic as I had recently inherited 100 classic cds mostly pavarotti and dvds my uncle was a massive collector of his work and in total he had nearly 1000 plus dvds so thanks big help did sell some to ziffit so will check others now but yes your rite its laborious xx regards sue
Great video Nic! I now know what to do with my entire CD collection in the garage! Sick of them, they need to go, they had their day
Enjoyed that video thanks Nic. Now going to scan one last box of cds I have left out of huge lot paid £5 for. Have already sold a lot of them on eBay, Music Magpie & Ziffit but hadn’t heard of Momox
Give Momox & We Buy Books a go but they take very little so it's hard to complete an order.
Now if there was a website that could compare prices from all of them - that would be cool
Good bloody work that, Nic! Nice one ☝️
Knackered just watching this video
Great video, I do this regular scanning DVD’s and games had some good prices but also research eBay for more profit, getting to know what games to look for in bundles now so can make money back on just a game or two on eBay.
Very good price 👌 didn't think it would come to that 👏😊
Thanks nick, great videos. I have tried this with mixed bundles of CDs, DVDs, and books. The problem I have with ziffit and webuybooks is that they only let you send in a title once. Where as music magpie will offer less but you can spend in the same title CD more than once as long as it is not in the same box/offer. I don't know if you have found this? or in anyone has any ideas how to get around it?
Hi Nic, great video and really helpful as I have a lot of media to shift, I need the space. Thanks again
A great insight! Thanks
Thanks Nic. Very informative.
I usually spend around an hour in the evening a couple of times a week scanning media in. I definitely think it's worthwhile even if a little mind numbing. I have 2 boxes sat in my car to drop off for ziffit.
Yeah i use them fairly regularly to clear out excess low value stock - been using them for years :)
Great video thx for sharing Nic,
It's a good thing to do in the winter or like now you can't go to many places.
I deal in vinyl and have a couple of people locally who I sell job lots too. Recently I paid £50 for around 175-200 dance records (mainly house music and mainly 12” singles with a few LP’s). I looked them all up on discogs and anything I could list for sale at £5 or over I kept and the rest I joblotted. I ended up keeping 9 for myself and 28 to resell so the others (sure it was around 155 records) I sold to a mate who also collects and buys and sells records in a joblot for £50. That covers my outlay and was nothing of any consequence in them he should be able to double his money on them as he always has with previous lots of records I’ve sold him. Not worth the time listing records on discogs for under £5 as they take ages to sell and just take up space so I always clear the below £5 stuff out in a bulk usually for what I’ve paid for everything and just keep the better stuff to resell plus anything I want to keep and it’s all paid for before I even start listing any of it.
I always find ziffit the best of the bunch and also use the same method looking on Amazon and Ebay if offered high prices.also works with books and DVDs as well.
I use ziffit as well when I am out as it is a lot faster than the Amazon app and you can take the item home and check it on Amazon later. The only problem I have is my phone will very rarely scan CD barcodes and I have to input them manually, which is annoying. I bought a bluetooth scanner but it will only work with Ebay.
I use Ziffit and Music Magpie to clear CDs, DVDs and books, Never tried We Buy Books and Momox but will do next time 🙂 Cheers for the info Nic.
Thank you 😊
Great video. Thank you. Just shows rather than walking past cd,s there is easy money to be made.
Bear in mind that this was classical which tends to sell better than a lot of bog standard pop/rock
Nic & Andrea Hills I find classical on cassette tape sells really well. Generally to Asia.
Love this . Get a system and get it done .
how do they pay you tho as you said would be interesting to see which ones they accept or not so do they pay before or after , if they reject some do they send them back to you or what , can you ship via royal mail as im not a fan of hermes or yodal
Very interesting video and hasn’t heard of Ziffit before so thank you for that! I’d guess it’s well above £10 an hour for your work there, a rate I’d happily take at the moment..
Oh easily probably double that hourly rate...
I was interested to see what Music Magpie offered. It is annoying that my local Oxfam will sell to them for that price instead of offering a reduction to their regular customers. MM claim to check all discs but I've had faulty ones from them. (They are quick to give a refund.) But one I bought for a friend recently cost £6.99. I think you did well and the profit isn't everything. There is value in the experience & you're learning all the time. I've watched you going through pop cd's that you've sold & you seem to remember every one. Looking forward to boot sales opening up again.
Great video as always nic
Great video, and not bad profit
if a few CD cases are cracked/broken but the actual CD and sleeves are in good condition, do you still send them out do the companies?
I just scanned books the other day to the magpie. They wanted the books that FBA would do well with, but the ones that weren't worth fba they didn't want.
I do almost similar with books. The rejects I send to charity or put on Facebook for free.
Great video very interesting 😊👍
Does anyone know anything about Music Library CDs ? I bought about 2,000 for £200.
By the way I was offered 7p for a Rebekah Ryan CD by zifit. I never took them up on their offer.
is there is an app wher eyou scan once and get result from 4 different buyers ?
Good idea picking up bulk and selling them straight away to these sites
Most bulk deals few pennies each, good little passive income.
It's not passive.
This is the best video iv seen thank u very much 🙏😀
Wow, thanks!
Where did you bought the CD 's Darling ? 🍀
Thumbs up on your t-shirt. I haven’t seen anything Carter U.S.M. in a long while!👍🏻😁
If they have barcodes cex may pay 1p it's next to nothing but still something .I'd try sell them elsewhere and if fail just salvage for cases I guess ? Or sell at carboots
Hi Nic can i ask you what barcode scanner do you use and is it idiot proof for a 71yr old man Hope u all keeping well kind regards mick
Very interesting. Can you literally buy any genre and have similar results if you managed to get another cheap job lot? Cool video Nic
I've done this with 400 CDs and 500 DVDs before, similar outcome. Out of interest Nic, did you swap any high value CD cases to ensure they don't get rejected? I have found that Disc condition doesnt matter as much as case condition, i think they actually might even clean and possibly re-box some or all for services such as 'REPLAY' in poundland ETC... just a hunch. Great video.
I'm waiting to see what you do with the leftovers, i've still got around 250 rejects from all of my previous lots.
Discogs check prices
@@highpath4776 Hi ya, I get where you're coming from but it's really not worth the effort. The products sit, stagnant in space thet could flip items 4 or 5 times over in the same period.
I have 200 vintage car magazines to sell, they go between $5 to $12 each on eBay. What is the best way to ship magazines?
Where did you get the label tag from ?🏷
Discogs has the best search engine and it's the #1 site to sell music. You might wanna give it out a try next time.
A few years ago (Before people knew about CeX prices or even checked) I used to buy second hand Xbox/PS4 games and re-sell STRAIGHT to CEX and make like £20+ because people don’t know prices or alternative buyers
Someone should make you a simple little tool with an API to each media buyer (assuming they have a public API?) to which you scan once and select the best price...
Effectively, your own scan it media buyer comparison site.
This is exactly what I was going to post!!
I'm sure you could post this on Fiverr.
Spec:- Frontend scans barcode, records to spreadsheet, compares all sites defined in lookup (includes eBay, Amazon etc). and captures values, highest highlighted and checked. Nic reviews spreadsheets and confirms post to cart. Job Done 😃
Sadly none of them have an API (as it wouldn't benefit them to offer this service). Although I have seen a number of custom scripts that allow the processing of multi-lined files of barcodes. So you would scan them all in ONCE into a txt file, then run a script to process each line into the frontends of each website and save the output data. So in theory it would be possible, but not as clean as you would like. I had the exact same thought as I was watching, but don't do it enough to justify developing it
Oh I forgot to say he never played them just collected them went all over world to see him loads of times xx
How many hours did it take u to do all cds? I have 3000 video games in loft
Happen to know if these sites UK only?
Top video nic
Where did you get your barcode scanner from?
I do this but find it quicker to scan each one with the apps on my phone! Don’t know if that helps
How many get rejected once they inspect them
Just a heads up you can get apps that show what all of these buyback sites or most of them offer with one scan for each item.
@@abdourlous5854 Yes but subscription based in the US
@@abdourlous5854 I am not sure I do not sell my books to buyback sites yet but I might in the future.
Good morning Nic, great idea! Do you think you’d of got even more £ for a different genre and not mainly classical?
Common rock and pop tends to make less, classical does fairly well
That pile never actually seemed to get any smaller. 😂😂 Great video. Also I got my sticky labels today. Cheers. Keep up the great work.
excellent video
Thank you very much!
Can I ask where you got your scanner from please.
Ziffit were the best for me. However two sealed cd's were rejected as "not original disc", go figure? Also the same as you, looked up the ones that were £1+ and maybe 1 or 2 were worth keeping.
How many did you sell and how many did they reject once they inspected them so how much did u loose
Something I've noticed about these companies that buy media they never seem to buy cd singles but when you visit their Ebay or Amazon shops they have lots for sale.they must be buying them from somewhere but no idea where.
There is always an ORIGINAL source (The dealers, dealers, dealer)
You said that some of the sleeves were a bit scuffed. You could have swapped them with sleeves from the ones you didn't sell.
Guys im facing a huge bags of classical cds to list on ebay is it worth my time?
Nic has a very warm smile
Nearly got your money back for the headlamp debacle ..... 👍🏼
What do the companies like music magpie do with these things? Ebay them?
Question: can I send CD's to these companies when I don't live in the UK?
All the cd's and dvd's in our local charity shop are 10 pence each. I have only bought the Now ones and all the audio books, but there are hundreds from U2 to Adele and Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Kylie, to classical, and plenty of Disney dvd's., its just not something I'm to interested in buying.
I've tried music magpie only as an experiment. It boggles me why they will only offer 2 pence for a rare soundtrack CD that's worth over £150 pounds. I've also inputted the barcodes of various rare PS2 games, and they offer the same price ranges of 2 to 10 pence. A big con I think, only useful if you want to get rid of a bulk load of worthless CD's and DVD's.
They pay very little.
Is momox not open in the UK anymore
what will you do with the rejects
Is it worth doing this with dvds?
Nice video. And they pay straight away the money or they need to check the cds and after they pay? Ty
They check them and then pay either into your bank, paypal or send a check
Nic & Andrea Hills nice.
Nice one.
I’ve got 400 CDs all the same, still sealed. Can’t find any company what bulk buys.
depends what it is
Hi.
I want to sell my entire 3000 dvds collection,
Which website would you recommend
What do you mean about eBay rank?
How long did it take to get to the results 😳
cool t shirt.
Try cex for the rejects.
So do you get the money once they receive package?
Yes normally they check the items first if something is damaged they will send you a new offer.
Yes we remember you picking up the classical lot AND WE ARE SURE THAT ANDREA does too...LOLOLOLOLOL
We are both happy to shift it all quickly and easily!
@@NicHills It was just a little giggle for me. I actually love your relationship. You sometimes remind me of me and my husband when we were younger. We are now 61 and 78 and have been married sinceb1992.
Argh a while ago I threw out all my CD cases. Does that mean they are all useless now? Its pop music from the 2000s. Also have a CD encylopedia.
Cases worth more than discs - I have some spare though if needed 20p each + postage
Wait so is Ziffit MusicMagPie ... but better?
sold 200 dvds and 200 cds for £10 mainly rejects from music buyers sites even though i paid 30p each for them from CEX and cash converters. its just lack of space tbh lost their sentimental value now
Id like to buy my CDs for 3 pounds delivered. that would be a good markup
you could do mystery cd packs and sell in ebay etc
i did see a man in cash convertors selling dvd and most he was getting was 1p each i see no point in selling an item for such a silly amount . better to just keep or give to charity especially that these companies then sell for 50p or a £1
some items seem to have very poor buy in price but very high selling price
How about just selling the whole job lot on Ebay for £200 Nic?
