Title: Turnintocash.com
Post by: VC on March 06, 2012, 11:38:14 am: AVOID

Nov - convinced my little lad to sell some of his games to help him save his money, used the turnintocash website as it was recommended by money expert, and gave better values than music magpie. Boxed up a load of his games with their valuation of over £100 and posted them off.

Dec - no news no money

Jan - no news no money

Feb - no news no money

Today - an email stating theyre sending £11.12 because the majority of the games had no manuals. These games would be responsibly recycled by them. Expect a cheque with 2 months.

W@ankers!! :fighting: :fighting:

All of the games i tested, they worked and all had manuals!

Trading standards wont touch them, phone numbers (which are tough to find) go to fax, games wont be returned.

AVOID

i wont tell him though, i'll give him the cash myself. I could have just traded them at the local GAME but thought it would be a good experience for him to go through the process.

robbing cnuts though

Post by: VC on March 06, 2012, 12:05:17 pm: not a bad idea. i dont expect a result for me personally but if its added to others it might well get a result for more people in the future.

just not a great lesson for my boy, ie lets sell your games online then sit back and watch you get robbed :confused:

I would take it up with MSE as well. If they recommend them they are somewhat responsible, not for your financial loss but to warn others.

Post by: simonp on March 06, 2012, 01:55:17 pm: Apparently a few of the mobile places do similar things. You send them a working phone, they turn around and say it was non-functioning and only give you half (or less) the promised figure...
