HMV selling second hand DVD's and CD's?

[suziginajackson]

I don't know if it's nationwide, but I popped into HMV in Basingstoke this morning, and there were a few racks of what looked like second-hand DVD's and CD's

The DVD's seemed to be priced around the £2:00 mark, but I don't know about the prices of the CD's

Sadly I didn't have the time to see if there was anything of interest tho

This was a scheme that the company piloted in its Fopp stores first and were offering £1 per disc exchange on most things. I'm sure the stores were swamped with all manner of cack because the staff is a lot more picky now from what I hear and the rate per disc has fallen too.

MVC tried this sort of thing and went bust shortly after.

Ten bob per disc?

That was before they started getting tight!

You pay me to take it off your hands and give it to a good home?

Smacks of desperation this....but then again with some of their prices,they need to sell something!

I bought SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK and BAY OF BLOOD Arrowdrome during the last 2 days-£18 and £12 respectively?

If I didn't have £20 on my points card,I wouldn't have bothered!


They're chasing sales and they're not going to make up lost ground with some of the prices they want.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I was quite surprised by how cheap some of HMV's new release Blu-ray was in store compared to prices I've seen in supermarkets. It's the back catalogue where they seem to take the piss.

They've always been like that.

[Paul@Lovelockandload]

I disagree, HMV's instore chart prices were definitely higher than the supermarkets before, mate.

They have always taken the piss with catalogue titles though!

Up here they're usually a few quid dearer than ASDA.
