There seems to be a rapid growth in web sites that now let you turn things you no longer want into cash. First there was ebay, a site that was really somewhere for everyone to sell old junk, and to be honest if we have ever bought anything from there it goes back on straight away afterwards. Now it seems companies are getting in on the act letting us turn things into cash that are just gathering dust.

WWW.musicmagpie.co.uk is just one of those. The site is simple – look up all your old CD’s, enter the details and get an offer. If you like what you see you can trade in up to 250 CD’s at a time and if you’re anything like our household you will have lots of them. They claim to of paid out nearly £130,000 already to users and by the looks of it the site will become quite popular as more and more of us start using Ipods etc. The site is free to use with all postage and packing paid.

The values offered are not the best – from about 25 pence up to £3 but if you are looking for a fast and efficient way to get cash then this has to be a good start. You don’t have to mess around with listings on the auction sites and to be honest once it has gone you can save on that much needed shelf space.

All in all the site has a great future, its not the prettiest out there but it works and is definitely one to watch in the future so if your time and cash poor get on the site and get cash for some old CD’s.

We’re rating the site as four stars at the moment but will be definitely putting it up if it starts to look better – when we spoke to the owners they said a redesign is in the offing and even better they may be introducing DVD and games onto the site sometime next year.

In summary – easy to use and definetly a credit crunch buster – www.musicmagpie.co.uk is one to watch.
