Why Amazon Wants Your Old CDs

By Kelli B. Grant

Consumers may now have a new home for all those CDs currently collecting dust or serving as drink coasters – Amazon.

The online retailer announced Wednesday that has added CDs to the list of items it allows shoppers to trade, which includes books, video games, DVDs and electronics. Sellers get a free shipping label to mail in their items, and receive store credit based on quality of the discs. Just how much credit customers can expect to get remains unclear; at press time, Amazon’s trade-in page had not yet been updated to allow CD entries. (Amazon.com did not respond to requests for comment.) But retail experts say CDs could fetch as much as $2 to $3 apiece. “If I still owned any CDs, I’d turn them in,” says Dan Rayburn, a principal analyst for Frost & Sullivan. “Really, who else wants old CDs?”

It’s unlikely Amazon does either, say experts. “There’s just not that big a market for used CDs,” says Randy Allen, an associate dean at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management. Instead, Allen and other experts say Amazon is hoping the service will eventually translate to more purchases — and more loyal customers. Studies have shown that when consumers redeem gift cards or credit, they tend to spend 40% more than the value of that credit.

Experts say it also sets up Amazon as a go-to vendor for that dwindling market of CD buyers, who could soon see more selection and lower prices for used discs on the site.

To get the best deal, consumers can copy songs from the discs to their computer for free before selling, Rayburn says. A low sale price is still the equivalent of a free MP3 or two. Although Amazon.com is the only big name buying back CDs right now, experts say it’s also worth comparing prices on trade-in sites such as Buy Back Media, SecondSpin.com and Ultimate Buy Back.

Consumers may find, however, that much of their music isn’t eligible. Most CD trade-in sites — as well as Amazon’s DVD trade-ins — require the seller to include the case with its artwork and UPC code. Scratched discs may also be rejected. So music fans who ditched jewel cases in favor of a “CD wallet” or didn’t keep their collection in pristine condition are likely stuck with it until their next yard sale.

      I stayed away from alcohol until I was 23 – which allowed me to skip over the “get what you can and drink it until you puke” stages of teenaged drinking. Alas, I have never puked from drinking alcohol…Partied in various other ways with various other things in my 17-21 years and learned a lot about myself and the world. Of which I have no regrets, and am actually quite thankful for the experiences.Married. Two kids. Divorced.Lived as a single father for a period. Juggled work, daycare, kids, and sanity for a little while.Married. Won custody of my previous two kids. Gained two more kids and the Bestest Wife Ever.Beat my “Five year plan” for doing Tree-Work, and got laid off in my fourth year. I had no intention of doing it for more than five years, so I inadvertantly won this one. The lay-off changed my focus and I landed an IT job – which I have managed to increase my salary by 27% in two years.Two more kids. What can I say?I am not horribly in debt – but I have a moderate and long-standing debt with several places. I am slowly trying to pull myself out of it, but with 6 kids and a wife, with natural wife-like tendencies, it is hard…

      Right now I feel like I’ve done jack shit and I’m a general failure. But to answer the thread question, after graduating HS in ’99:- got a job as a net admin / tech / web tech at a small newspaper company in SF, worked there for a year while going to community collage- quit that job and got a job at sfgate.com as a PC Tech and worked there for a year while going to school, and for a while full-time (took a semester off… doh)- bought my dream car (literally), a 1974 BMW 3.0CS- wound up with a 1973 BMW Bavaria that was going to be cut up for parts and really fixed it up- completed several freelance web design projects (what I do for money after quiting my job to concentrate on school)-have come pretty close to finishing my engineering transfer requirements and will attempt to get into a university next school year-made a lot of good friends through the car hoby, and work. a few from school too.I guess it amounts to a lot of good ‘real world’ experience, some education, and a couple neat toys. I still feel like I’ve fucked something up though. Hopefully I’ll make it to university level and beyond ok though, that’s really my main worry now.
