Basically you send these fuckers a box full of your old CDs, and they send you an iPod. First instinct is that they’ll tell you that half of them (or more) are ineligible, regardless of quality or value, just so you decline the shipping charge for the return trip. But who knows, maybe the fuckers are legit, and I’m just eternally pessimistic.
So this is where you, my loyal brethren, go ahead and try the service out (or research it, I’m not picky) and tell me whether or not it’s worth my time and efforts to ship a box filled with old Spin Doctors and Ace of Base CDs.
If only you could trade in your AOL CDsI don’t think I own a CD collection with enough (shitty) CDs to get a nano.
heh http://www.millenniummusic.com/quality.html\”We have quality standards for the types of CDs that we are willing to accept. There are two aspects to our quality criteria.PHYSICAL QUALITY is fairly easy to explain. The CDs must all be original CDs including jewel case and liner notes. (In other words no burned CDs or CDs in CD folders)CDs that are not scratched and look good to the eye will pass the physical quality standard. Sometimes CDs with surface scratches will be accepted at half value. CDs with signifcant sctatches or CD rot will not pass the quality standard.QUALITY OF TITLE is based on sales history. We will accept any genre or format if the CD has a significant sales history. If the CD has a questionable sales history, then we may offer to accept it, but only at half value. If the CD has no significant sales history, then it is not acceptable\”right, i can buy a cd, take it from case to disc changer, pull it out a week later an it’ll have \”some\” surface scratchs. please…
rip offI’ve been thinking about this and it seems to me one would be better off bringing their cds down to the local record shop and selling them off there. Unless you’re trading at the 175 cd level (and who the hell has that many cds that would qualify as having a \”good sales history\” that they want to get rid of) you’d do better than the less than 3 dollars a cd being offered at the lower levels.
