    I have an extremely large CD library not to mention lots of vinyl. Anyway I need to thin both out. My situation is I was in radio for about 30 years so many half or more of my CD's are Promotional copies. There are local places that would buy them but I was thinking it might be easier and maybe bring in greater profit online. I've contacted Second Spin and they said they don't take promo copies plus others websites say they don't either. In the past I've sold piecemeal on Amazon or eBay but it's time consuming and especially on Amazon the profits are slim. If I can't find an online buyer my thinking is to take all the generic CD's and vinyl to a local place aka Half Price Books or local re-seller and than either keep or piecemeal the good stuff on eBay. If anyone has any experience with selling to a national or regional re-seller online I'd be interested in that information.
    Muchas Gracias Por Favor!

    List them on discogs? And don't most promo CDs have barcodes?

    Isn't that still piecemeal?

    Suppose so, but you might find another seller there that specializes in selling promos. Gemm used to have a few of them. Musicstack might still have a few? Amoeba?

    I am always looking for promo CD singles. I buy in bulk when I can.

    I think Princeton Record Exchange will travel to buy large collections.

    Technically, you probably don't own the promo. They given out on condition that you didn't resell them. Of course, we all know what happened. But major firms will probably stay clear of them. Record club versions are another no-no.

    If you have any Garth Brooks, better send them back to him. They're his.

    Stay away from Half-Price Books. Or better yet, take a few LPs and CDs over there and
    see what kind of offer you get......
