iPodMeister

Woo hoo! It worked!
Here’s the deal… I wanted to get rid of all of my CDs and DVDs (too much clutter) but when I checked all of the usual trader sites and stores, I found that my stuff was worth next to nothing. I kept Googling and discovered IpodMeister! Totally sounded too good to be true. The site looked extremely sketchy and low-​budget, but they had some good reviews and an interview on Consumer Reports. Plus they pay for your shipping fees, so I figured I had nothing to lose.
Approximate timeline:
Sept. 22 – Filled out online form.
Sept. 23 – Received FedEx label via email.
Sept. 29 – FedExed my discs.
Oct. 1 – IpodMeister received my box and sent confirmation email.
Oct. 4 – Box processed. Received email stating that about 10 discs were unacceptable and I could pay the difference ($ 14) via PayPal.
Oct. 11−15 – Some email correspondence regarding availability of the specific iPod Nano I requested.
Oct. 22 – Received iPod shipment and tracking info.
Oct. 25 – iPod delivered!
So w/​o the delay due to iPod availability, the whole process took about 3 weeks! Totally worth it! Not only did I get to clean house, but I got an iPod Nano! Yay!

I was skeptical at first, come on a new iTouch for my CDs, but I was proven wrong. I had a bunch of old CDs on the shelf that I never listened to, so I decided to free up some space and get rid of them. I was looking online to see what I could get for them, then I found iPodMeister.
iPodMeister trades new iPods, iPhones, iPads and harddrives for old CDs and DVDs, it definitely sounded too good to be true. So I called them and they said I could stop by their location in Long Island City to conduct the business face to face. I loaded up my car and drove over there, to find that they are run by friendly musicians and college grads.
They also offer something called digitizing, where they burn all your music in mp3 format on backup DVDs, so I did not lose any of my music. After all was done I got a new iTouch, a check for $ 47 and freed up a lot of space.
Definitely one of the best experiences ever.
