What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
I see Musicmagpie.co.uk now have a 10 title minimum order. I only need them for the odd title I cannot shift on eBay etc...
Are there any similar sites without this stupid restriction? I recall Saltysam mentioning another but cannot remember what they were called. Thanks.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
I'm sure Sam mentioned Turnintocash (I gave them a go) but AFAIK all these kind of sites now have a 10 titlle minimum rule.
Shame as I used to use Musicmagpie when it had 5 title minimum order.

Thanks. Me too but their prices are so woeful, they are literally a last resort before I give them away.
Yep it's 10 titles for both Turnintocash and Musicmagpie . Turnintocash do seem to offer better prices though. Used4cash.co.uk may have a different limit but it didn't recognise my two R1s and one R3 title.

I agree Turnintocash seemed to have better prices.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
It depends where the store is located. Musicmagpie recognised all the R1s and the R3. Turnintocash recognised the R1.gasteropod wrote:Because shops aren't licensed to sell them in this country.

For Musicmagpie there is and I'm sure Turnintocash as well, isnt it in the "How it Works" section?

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
I just got an email from Musicmagpie saying some of my items I sent were missing I emailed them all the reciept numbers as I sent them in multiple parcels. So I'll wait and see I'm a bit annoyed as I got good prices for some old games.
Magpie say their sending process is "easier" now but you cant send things at the Post Office, you have to go to a "Collect Plus" point now . The minimum is still 10 items (ie if its a mixture of DVDs/games etc) but you only have to send a miminum of 3 games now.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
Last time I used Magpie I had a courier pick the boxes up.
There's a minimum item number for this though... 25, I think?
Still took ages for Magpie to receive the packages and process the payment... but at least they take imports and I've never had a cheque bounce.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
I've given Magpie all the tracking info and barcodes for each parcel I sent (presumably so they can investigate if one has been lost), not sure where this one is going.. I'll see what happens I guess

Your local Spar is probably a collect point though, mine is.grim_tales wrote:Magpie say their sending process is "easier" now but you cant send things at the Post Office, you have to go to a "Collect Plus" point now .

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
Oh yeah, youre right - the place I used to do my performing arts course at had a Spar close to it. The Collect Point near me now (since I moved) is a Londis or something.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
I've used these recently,values are similar to musicmagpie but importantly you send via royal mail and you get your cash a hell of a lot quicker than from magpie,typically less than a week from sending your package off. minimum is not items but £15 threshold, though if you don't reach this they'll offer you less ie your stuff is valued at £12 they may offer you £10 if you can't/won't make it up to £15.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
Hmmm... interesting, might give em a go but whether I have stuff valued at £15 is another matter....

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
Anyone heard of Ziffit.com? Recently they started advertising on TV, similar to Magpie, Webuybooks etc but rather than an 'minimum items' thing they have a 'minimum amount' per trade of £10. Their prices dont seem to be the best though.

Re: What are the Musicmagpie.co.uk competitors?
Fair enough. I'll stick with them too.
What titles were they? I think as with all traders, prices seem to fluctuate, sometimes even from day to day.
