In most families there is at least 1 games console. This means that there is probably lots of games that aren’t really played, this could be turned into either cash or vouchers; the same is true for unwanted cds or dvds. Below is a list of places that you can do this at:
- CEX – They will accept all cds, dvds and games and will also allow you to trade unwanted consoles, phones and laptops.
- ASDA – At the moment they only allow you to trade in games and these are only for cash on a gift card
- HMV – Again only accept games but offer cash or vouchers
- Music Magpie – Despite the name these guys accept cds, dvds and games
- eBay – You put the items you want to sell on and then they do the rest.
- Game – These guys allow you to trade games only
- Fat Brain – These guys accept old books
Using a combination of CEX, ASDA and Music Magpie I have generated a total of over £300! This I used to get a DS to help ease the boredom when I’m in hospital and paid for the food shopping for 1 whole month. It was really easy and definately worth having a sort out and getting rid of your old/unwanted games, cds and dvds.
