Choosing what to sell and what to keep is difficult when decluttering. This is especially true with CDs. To most people, a CD collection is more than just a bunch of plastic discs in plastic cases; they\u2019re the soundtracks to our lives.<\/p>\n

Then again, they also take up a lot of space. So it\u2019s swings and roundabouts really.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, a lot of people find choosing which CDs to sell difficult, so here’s a surprisingly easy guide to choosing what to cash in on from your own collection…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as good as it used to be<\/h3>\n

Some albums don\u2019t stand the test of time. Take a listen through some of the CDs you purchased a long time ago and you\u2019re bound to come across a few that you just don\u2019t enjoy anymore \u201d\u201c sell \u201d\u02dcem!<\/p>\n

You don’t listen to it anymore<\/h3>\n

How often have you looked at your CD collection and thought \u201d\u02dcwow, I haven\u2019t listened to that in a long time!\u2019 If the answer is \u201d\u02dcregularly\u2019, then it\u2019s definitely time to declutter!<\/p>\n

CDs you don\u2019t listen to anymore serve no purpose; they\u2019re basically ornaments. While you might get the odd person popping by who might be impressed by your collection, the money you make by selling CDs<\/a> more than justifies getting rid of them.<\/p>\n

You’ve outgrown it<\/h3>\n

Our tastes in music are fluid and most of us are lucky enough to enjoy multiple genres of music over our lives.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this leads to some extremely weird inclusions in our CD collections. These are the CDs we don\u2019t listen to, but don\u2019t want to let go off for nostalgia reasons.<\/p>\n

Want our advice? Let them go and make some cash. Literally no-one is impressed by that industrial metal compilation you owned during your brief goth phase.<\/p>\n

Embarrassing artists<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all got our guilty pleasures but some artists are just too embarrassing to have on your shelves.<\/p>\n

Own anything by \u201d\u02dcartists\u2019 like the Fast Food Rockers, the Cheeky Girls or Steps? Get rid, and get rid quickly. We can\u2019t promise you\u2019ll make a lot of money for them, but at least you\u2019ll avoid future embarrassment.<\/p>\n

Value<\/h3>\n

Now, this is probably the most cynical of reasons to sell a CD but it makes perfect sense. If you own a CD that a lot of people want to get their hands on, sell it. You\u2019ll probably be able to reinvest the money you make on a streaming service where you can listen to the album anyway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just ultra-rare CDs we\u2019re talking about here. Any CD that you think other people would want to buy is worth selling – we at musicMagpie offer more money for these CDs, so it\u2019s worth digging out a couple of these every time you sell us items to boost the overall value of your order.<\/p>\n

Selling your CD collection is a quick way to declutter and makes perfect sense when whole libraries of music are so easily accessible online. So sort through your CDs and get tallying up their value on our handy valuation engine!<\/p>\n
