Sell your unwanted CD's and DVD's for cash!

Because we recently put all our music on our computer to use with our iPod, we no longer had a need for the CD's we had, not to mention they were taking up space and we could use the extra cash. 

I found out Newbury Comics will buy your unwanted CD's and DVD's.  I called to ask how much they normally pay, and they said anywhere between $0.25 - $5 each.  A huge range I know, but I'm sure it depends on a few different factors...condition, demand, etc.  I hadn't had much luck selling CD's or DVD's on Craigslist, and don't get much for them at yard sales either.  We had roughly 500 total, so I figured even if they give me $0.50 each, that's $250 in my pocket!

Although they normally make you stand there while they check each one individually and tell you how much they can offer, I called and let them know I had a large quantity and they made and exception and allwed me to drop them off.  The next day we got a call from them.  They said there were a few (roughly 100) they could not take.  However, they averaged $1 per CD or DVD...so I went back to the store to pick up my check for $400!  Overall, I think it was better for me to hear a lump sum rather than what each one was worth (I might not have been able to let them go that way).  Let me tell you - that money came in handy...so much better than a bunch of CD's collecting dust.

Got tips on how to make a little cash?  Let me know so we can share!  I'm especially interested in finding a place that buys books (not for store credit) - do you know of any?  PLEASE let me know.  Thanks!
