Music Matters

Thirty pounds a day is a challenge. We aren't vast earners and we don't lead a lifestyles of excess, in fact I can't even remember the last time we frittered away our hard earned money on a morning in a coffee shop or a trip to Primarni. So if we want to save we are really going to have to sell. My Ebay items are slowly ticking over with a watcher here or there and the next round of autions may include my beloved gold 80's heels, but that's just not enough. Tonight I discovered Music Magpie (care of a tip off from my sister) Its a nifty little site that offers you cash for your old CD's and DVD's, the proccess is quite laborious needing you to type in and search each barcode and some items only clock up pennies but the odd one I typed in was worth a pound or more. Max owns the worlds biggest CD collection most of which has been decanted onto the worlds biggest Ipod and my Cd collection dates back to the early 90's so I definitely think there are a few things we could say farewell to, and that's before we've begun rummaging through the massive DVD stockpile. Music Magpie will freepost or free collect your items and then send you a check to pay straight into the mortgage account. I think Max's penance for breaking the spending rules may be an evening of barcode typing. Who knows there might be £50 or more waiting for our efforts, but let's just hope we never loose our iPod once we are CD free.
