It was easy to use. It took quite a while for the cheque to come through, but other than that is was an easy way to clear out some old CD's and DVD'S

Efficient service with several emails from collection to posting of cheque to keep me informed. Clear and straight forward instructions on how to box and lable items. Dissapointed with price of CD's though - all less than 30p, so for 45 CD's sold I had £12.08..better than continuing to gather dust, but some weren't even opended and of current artists. I would hope Music Magpie could revise their criteria, and consider this in their assessment of price in the future. Would consider using Music Magpie again.

Good Service, though i found it quite sad parting with CD's that cost me £20 for 25p :-(,,i don't suppose anybody else would want them. I got rid of about 30-40 Cd's that I would never have listened too again and have been sat there for years and got cheque for £16 so cant complain or I wouldn't have done it!! They don't buy singles though which is a shame

It was a month between you picking up my items and me receiving the cheque for them; I notice from feedback that you repeatedly tell other people you are working within guideline time limits but this is a long time! also, I do think you could give a better price for items - certainly for mine which were all in excellent condition. 30p per film DVD is rubbish! Unfortunately, since most of your clients are extremely hard up (they would not be selling DVDs otherwise) they have no option but to accept your poor offers. I'm hoping you will soon have some competition and will therefore offer better prices. Good marks for keeping people informed though - except for the week or so after your email telling me the "ink was drying on my cheque" and my actually receiving it. And I suppose a little money is better than no money.

I like the volume of products Music Magpie take however the prices offered were a bit low for some products.
Collection was when told and I was updated throughout the process.
Cheque was a little slow to come through but again was informed as it was being processed and sent.

Once the parcel arrives at Music Magpie the service is excellent . However ,there appears to be a collection once a week from the drop off point. It would be nice to know when this will be (even if just the day of the week) ...I missed it by 10 mins and my package had to wait another week to be picked up. If I had known this I would have re-routed and gone to the drop off point first when running errands.

Although I was pleased with the number of CDs/DVDs Music Magpie accepted, I was a little disappointed with the amount I was offered for most of them. I preferred to see them going to be reused rather than into a landfill, so despite that minor gripe, it was still a good decision to sell them. The actual input of the barcode numbers was simple and quick and I would definitely use Music Magpie again.

Quite enjoyed entering the barcodes to see what each item was worth. Some items weren't worth that much but gropued together they mad quite a bit of money and they were only filling the cupboard at home and not used. Will definately use Music Magpie again!!!

It takes to long to get paid. The amount you get for some cd's is a pittance. Not sure I would bother to do it again.

On the whole, the transaction has gone smoothly however I set a date for my items to be picked up by the courier and made sure that someone was in the house between 8am-8pm that day but no one showed up until the next morning at 11am. This was a bit annoying as there could easily have been no one home. Although, other than this everything else has been fine.

A very well run site, although sums do not seem a lot they know there business and if you have a great pile of stuff cluttering up your space as I did it is surprising how it mounts up. Free postage is a bonus, and their communication system is excellent, keeping in touch at all stagers as to progress. I have no hesitation in recommending them, in fact I already done so.

Company did what they said they would do on the tin. So no complaints in how the company operates. Just a bit disappointing in the prices offered for CD's but I suppose they were only getting in the way and would have ended up in the bin anyway.

The process to send items was simple enough. But that's were it end's. I received emails after 2weeks to say items were being processed and almost a third of the quoted value was deducted. No reason explanation nothing! I personally checked all items and made sure even the boxes weren't cracked.

The T's and C's clearly state they can't return or explain problems so you have little chance of getting details of why ?

Very disappointed won't be using again !

Hi, we are a little confused by your feedback. I've just looked at your order and it was paid in full with zero deductions. I've also looked to see if it relates to another order of yours, but this is the only order you have on file. Regards,

The only negative was the length of time it took to deliver and process the payment. I think if the wait time from pick-up to receiveing payment could be shortened to 7 days, then the service would be excellent.

Prices weren't great, but then selling secondhand stuff never is, although price offered for a small number of my cds (by more unusual artisits) did surprise me (i.e I got a couple of quid per cd for some) compared to the usual chart-y stuff - all were about the same price when originally bought ! Time taken to process order and receive payment was slower than expected. Webcam scanner app didn't work on my (recent-ish) HP laptop. But, hey, I got a few quid for a pile of cds that were otherwise gathering dust, so can't complain too much. Another shipment made from this household did result in an issue where items were initially reported missing. We offered to call the Police (since the box we sent was very well taped up and if items had gone then they must have been removed en route) but, after another chase-up call the Happy Magpie decided to credit us with the full amount. Hmmm.... Generally, once 'managed' MM seems an okay alternative to Dusty Bin (which is where too much stuff goes because others often don't want it, sometimes even for free).

Nothing good I can say about this company, had almost 1000 CD's as going through a bereavement and had to do a house clearance. They took almost a month to sort out the funds, claimed that things were missing (they weren't as they were checked three times) and was asked to repack 3 times!!! (only repacked twice as refused 3rd time) Also, just to add more days to the process of sending payment they asked me to verify Bank Details twice in two weeks! I mean, am I really going to change my account and does it really take you 3 days to verify these details?? Customer services refused my order as delivered even though I had actual evidence that these were delievered but they could not understand this. I would not reccomensd this service to ANYONE that has half a brain cell. They pay you pittance for the CD's then claim that others are not in good order, then keep them?! AVOID AT ALL COSTS, PATHETIC, USELESS AND NO MORE BUSINESS SENSE THAN A PIKEY! There were more problems I could list but one thing that I know is that MM is not worth the service they offer - check the web and you will see others that have had a bad experience!

Hi, we're sorry you feel this way about our service. Out of the 893 items you sent to us, just 16 were rejected for the following reasons: 1x 'Item not sent', 10x 'Damaged Artwork', 2x 'Non original' and 3x 'Missing disc'. The reason we asked you to verify your details twice is because there were two separate orders, this is for your own safety as money sent to the incorrect account cannot be retrieved. Both orders were also completed within their estimated time scales. Kind regards,

I read lots of opinions online before using MM, not all positive ones, but my experience was perfectly satisfactory. True the prices offered are minimal but the sheer convenience of packaging up just ONE parcel, having it collected from home, excellent communication at all stages of the transaction and only one item out of well over 100 rejected, all factors massively outweigh the hassle of trying to sell each item individually. I'm a happy customer and will certainly use MM again, and recommend them to friends and family.

Good opportunity to clear out some CDs I never listen to any more and make some cash. I really liked the idea of free postage with the local collection (although the website didn't actually show the most convenient/ nearest shop to me until I tried a neighbour's postcode).
Got the price I had been quoted after around 3 weeks. Will definitely use again.

I think it was very misleading when defining my product therefore forcing me to either accept a very low price for it, or have it sent back for £15, which is a ridiculous price. I shall not be returning to Music Magpie any time soon.

Hi, we're sorry you feel this way about our service. The reason your item was revised is because the incorrect item was entered when creating your order (A Nintendo 3DS was selected, but it was a Nintendo DSi that was sent in).

The standard return fee is covered in our T&C's that you agreed to upon creating the order.

Many thanks,

I wish I'd found this company years ago! All feedback from the moment of finding a price, to dispatch & their receipt of the sold goods, is e-mailed to you. They even let you know when the money has been 'transferred'...although this can take up to a week (2 days once, but typically 4 working days.....nevr five).
