We will buy most CDs, DVDs and Games. All sell orders must be placed through our site. We will be able to process your order quickly if you enclose the packing list with your shipment. You pay for outgoing shipping, but we will reimburse you (USPS Medial Mail rate) based on the number of items accepted.
You are welcome to sell your items at any of our retail stores. However, quotes given via email or through our website are only valid for items mailed to our Carson, California distribution center. The pricing in our stores varies based on the need of stores. They cannot honor prices offered through the internet.
How To Sell
The search bar allows you to search for items many different ways. Use the drop-down tools to select the search method best for you:
- Search by UPC: This is the best option to receive an accurate quote. Just type in the 12-digit UPC from the item and the site will return the price.
- Want to save time? Click on the SELL IN BULK link and enter all of the UPCs that you wish to sell. The site will then add them to your cart all at once.
- Search CDs by Keyword: Type in a few keywords from the Artist and/or Title. It is not necessary to type in every word.
- Example: Type BEATLES to get all items with BEATLES in the artist or title.
- Example: Type BEATLES ABBEY to get The Beatles “Abbey Road”
- Search CDs by Artist: Type in First Name, Last Name and/or Band Name.
- Example: Type PINK to get PINK FLOYD and PINK albums
- Search CDs by Title: Type in a few words from the title. However, we recommend you use artist search for BEST OF or GREATEST HITS.
- Search DVDs by Title: Type in a few words from the title.
- Search Games by Title: Type in a few words from the title.
- If you have an order of more than 100 pieces, you may email a list to quotes@secondspin.com to receive a bulk quote.
- Can’t find an item? Email quotes@secondspin.com. If it is an item we need, we will reply with a price.
Once you find the item you wish to sell, add it to your cart by clicking on the ADD TO CART button, and you can then search for the next item. Please make sure that the title you have in hand and what you selected to place in your cart match.. If the item you send us is not the same as that quoted in your sell order, you may be credited a different amount or the item may be rejected.
After you have added all of your items to your shopping cart, click the CHECKOUT button. You will be asked for your email address & password. If you do not have an account, click on REGISTER NOW to enter your personal information and create one (you will not lose your cart).
After you have logged in, you will see a summary of the items that you wish to sell. Verify your payment information and select the payment option that you prefer.
- Cash by Check – A check will be issued within 3 business days after receiving and processing your package. The check will be sent to the address used at the time the order was created.

If everything looks correct, click on PLACE ORDER to complete the transaction. Please take a minute to review your order first – once you hit the PLACE ORDER button, you cannot go back and make changes. The next screen will show your order number. Print this out for reference. When you have placed your order, you will receive a confirmation email with the final instructions for sending us your items. Be sure to include a copy of this email in the package that you send.
You can ship your items to us any way you choose, but we recommend USPS Media Mail, since we will reimburse that amount. Many people use USPS Priority Mail, UPS, FedEx or DHL as well. If it's a large amount of items, you may want to insure it. Sorry, we cannot be responsible for any damage or loss that occurs during shipping. We cannot accept drop-offs at our distribution center.
When you are selling a large number of items, we recommend splitting your order and shipping it in several boxes. Mark each package “BOX 1 of 4”, “BOX 2 of 4”, etc. We recommend boxing the CDs securely in smaller boxes. Then place the smaller boxes in a larger box, surrounding the small boxes with packing material to provide cushioning.
You are welcome to ship multiple sell orders in the same box. Be sure to include packing slips for all orders. If you ship multiple orders in the same box, the orders will be combined and you will only receive one shipping reimbursement based on the number of units accepted from the combined order.
Once your order is received, we will process the items within 3 business days. Payment will be issued based on the method you selected during the checkout process. If you send us an item that we cannot accept, we will email you immediately and you can tell us if you want it shipped back or we can dispose of it for you.
Orders not received within 30 days of the order date will be canceled.
