Has anyone had dealings with this site? Apparently they give you a price for your unwanted CDs, books, mobile phones etc. Seems a bit iffy, but would appreciate any feedback. Cheers.

Unless you really need the money, take your books and CDs to a charity shop, they'll get more for them than you will. And it will give you an enormous sense of wellbeing.
Used it once quite a while ago....worked perfectly OK but don't expect much at all for each item.

I've always wondered what the hell they do with all these old CD's, DVD's and Books?
Charity shops can't get £1 for a DVD, they're selling CD's for 25p, and books are 10p each. My business brain says that with such miniscule margins you'd need to be shifting vast amounts of these - but then if the charity shops are struggling to get rid of them, there can't be a massive demand.
So : Tiny Margins + Low Demand = Pointless Business Model
I don't get it. Can someone cleverererer than me explain?

More likely that in a lot of people's eyes, charity shop = boot sale. Something might be worth £5 but you are unlikely to see it for such in a charity shop or boot sale as people will assume it will be very cheap. I stopped doing boot sales years ago because of this. I would have a clear out once a year and price low accordingly. Charge 50p for something £2 elsewhere and people will try and haggle you down to 25p. I guess charity shops are similar and this is why they put a lot of high value donations on eBay.Ship overseas and sell there?
Charity shops require footfall. Internet generates a shipping/handling cost. Hence the UK model struggles. Large footfall in an overseas market probably works a lot better so I've always assumed this is where the stuff goes.
