Amazon trade in
« on: 22 January 2015, 19:23:26 »
Never heard of this until today. Sounds great......for amazon.
My wife brought home a guinness world records book from 1968, cost 17s/6d. My son said it might be worth something as people will buy any old tat. Went on amazon, there were two copies, 9.50+p&p and £10+p&p.
Then  i spotted the trade in box. If you have one of these, trade it in and amazon will send you a gift card for......







Drum roll..........







32p.  ;D

TBH, when it works, it works well (OK, deliveries can sometimes be variable).  Its when you have to call them...  ...their ineptitude is at a level not seen before.
