In the age of digital music, what should people do with all of their old or outdated compact discs (CDs)? Sell them to Amazon, of course!
Amazon has recently announced a new buy-back/trade-in program in which Amazon clients can sell their CDs to Amazon in return for a credit on their Amazon accounts. Clients simply choose which CDs they would like to sell, print shipping labels from Amazon, and then mail them off to the company. Employees at Amazon then review the CDs and categorize them as either 1.) "Like New" or 2.) "Good."
Like New: Perfect condition, no scratches or marks, original cover and artwork
Good: May have a few light scratches, but still plays fine
The credit that Amazon gives does not strictly apply to music; customers are welcome to purchase anything that the online giant offers with their credits.
But don't start eyeing that new Macbook or widescreen HD television just yet!
The credit amounts are relatively low (much lower than the cost of a new CD or digital album) and depend upon the popularily of the artist, the release date, the condition of the CD, and the number of inventory already in stock. Individuals can expect to receive approximately two to three dollars for newer popular artists such as Adele (retailed at $9.99), and approximately eleven dollars for harder to find box sets such as the Beatles (retailed at $179).
