Donate It or Ditch It? By Adam Bluestein
Your cast-offs may help a worthy cause or make you money.
CDs and Records
Donate: Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and others.
Sell: Used-CD shops or online. Keep in mind that on eBay or Amazon, a run-of-the-mill CD rarely fetches more than $5. Factor in
the site's charge to the seller and the hassle of mailing to the buyer and decide if it's worth your time. The CD Exchange
(thecdexchange.com) offers an easy alternative:
E-mail it a list of the CDs you want to sell (they should be in excellent condition, with liner notes) and the CD Exchange
will respond within 24 hours, telling you what it will pay (in cash or merchandise credit). You mail the CD Exchange the discs,
and it sends you a check. (The company has the Better Business Bureau Online seal of approval.)
