Hello - Recently someone told me in passing about an online music
retail web site that allows one to trade used CDs for credit on the
purchase of other CDs on the site.  I visited the site once, but did
not bookmark it.  It was a good looking site, not like a personal
website or that someone may have done as a parttime job to generate
income.

I think one can list your used CD, purchase a CD and the site will
send you a mailing box for the used CD.   I can't go back to the
person to ask for the web site again.  The site may have started with
an S, but I could be completely wrong on that.  It was NOT Amazon or
eBay.  It was an online music retail web site that sold a variety of
music - like a CDNow would have.

Can someone provide the name of 5 - 7 US-based music web sites that
may fit this criteria for allowing one to trade in used music CD for
online credit.

Thanks!

Hi kyraeh,

The following are online music retail websites that allow you to trade
used CDs for credit on the purchase of other CDs on the site. I am
confident one of them is the one you remember (actually, I believe
it's the first site listed below).


?Fact Sheet:
Problem: Everyone has old CDs and other entertainment lying around,
collecting dust. Tastes change and old CDs, DVDs and games become
obsolete.

Solution: A cash-free 'recycling' program of sorts, Spun gives users
instant online credit toward the purchase of a different CD, DVD or
video game.

The Spun Advantage: 

Buy and sell in one order 
Real-time price quotes for trade-ins 
Free shipping for exchanges -- Spun sends purchases in a reusable,
postage-prepaid box for return shipping of the exchanged product(s).
Spun's consumer-driven pricing system keeps track of what Spun has in
stock -- and adjusts our buy and sell prices accordingly?
