bruce marshall 616 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm starting to wonder why I bother listing items on MARKETPLACE. Nothing happens. Should I just pack up my CDs and go home?😞 Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Man 7575 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I bought a stack of Toshiba/EMI Godzilla CDs and a few OSTs from Mark Olivarez (El Jefe) over a decade ago. Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 616 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 That's very comforting. Thanks. AC1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bespin 4436 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 We don't want your used CDs! BTW, I still have my Star Trek CD to sell and a copy of Speechless, still in shrink. I want to give them for free (and I'll pay the shipping), but you have to live in Canada or USA. I don't send my CDs to strangers! bruce marshall 1 Link to post Share on other sites
filmmusic 814 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Have you tried the message boards of FIlm Score Monthly? I have sold some things there, though not cds. They were blurays and sheet music (Williams Signature Editions). Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 18937 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 It's two thousand and twenty. There just aren't that many people on Earth that buy and swap CDs any more. bruce marshall and Bespin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jurassic Shark 6523 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I bought some used CDs from a nice guy on this forum (not Bes). When I'm selling I put the CDs up on eBay and post the link to my eBay offerings here. Link to post Share on other sites

They were blurays and sheet music (Williams Signature Editions). Bruce was banned from FSM. Very undeserved, because although he's a quirky character with a peculiar, acerbic sense of humour, he's ultimately harmless. I know, because I've had a few beers with him. But that's a different topic. I agree with Jay -- it's tricky to sell one's CDs these days. I have a whole bunch I want to sell too, and even for a pittance in terms of price, but shipping costs alone are a major hurdle. So I've basically given up. I'm not aware of many "film music" forums where sales and trades are still working properly. Link to post Share on other sites

The trick is to list many titles simultaneously on eBay, and then offer combined shipping. 41 minutes ago, Thor said: I know, because I've had a few beers with him. But that's a different topic.

bruce marshall 616 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I love when Thor refers to ME as " quirky"!😍 I went to Amoeba today and they rejected the osts for HTTYD ( even though they have never had one is stock) INTERSTELLAR ( they do have the xpanded; bought mine there). Legend twofer of DAYS IF HEAVEN/ TWO MULES ( which I bought there). So I think EBAY and DISCOGS are going to start dropping prices on op titles. 6 hours ago, Jay said: It's two thousand and twenty. There just aren't that many people on Earth that buy and swap CDs any more. Back in.the day I made many great trades with fans on FSM. It's a great way to acquire titles you want without spending money. No sales tax and cheaper shipping. I find that I only sell stuff when a buyer makes the first move and posts a " Wanted" thread.

I once posted on FSM, to do advertising for my discography. And well, unexpectedly, I had the same reaction as here.... a kind of disregard. I think it's my personality!

The Big Man 7575 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The used CD market on eBay is pretty healthy. Some rarities go for stupid prices in the $100+ range. Only problem there is the seller fees, but at least it's all pretty secure. bruce marshall 1 Link to post Share on other sites
bruce marshall 616 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I just bought THE BLACK HOLE from a seller on FSM- $25. At least two copies on EBAY sold for well over $100! I don't sell myself; one of my minions does it for me😊 Link to post Share on other sites

Koray Savas 1810 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 My entire first year on this forum was solely in the trading sub forum. Made contact with another trader and we would mail each other CDRs back in the day! Eventually we would just Megaupload anything new we ever obtained to each other. Link to post Share on other sites
