Was going to sell to Music Magpie, but reviews don't look too good!

I was considering sending some of our old DVD's,CD's and games to the Music Magpie company which advertises on the TV.

Seems a lot of folk are not happy with the number of "damaged" items which MM refuse to pay for...but then sell on under the name "zoverstock"

Sadly, after reading a lot of very damning reviews on the internet i think i will be dropping mine around to the local charity shop instead!

Considering using this company? Read the reviews HERE

XBox 360 nightmare update !

I have calmed down a little since my post yesterday which pretty much reflected the way i was feeling about my son's X Box 360 ongoing reliability problems. Since the last post i have done some surfing (on the net, not the sea!) and found that yet again this is a widespread fault, and as i mentioned earlier it appears that the fix is limited to either sending the box back to Microsoft for an out of warranty repair (console is more than 1 years old and the 3 year warranty only covered the RROD fault), or i have to go and buy a "donor" console that has been put up on Ebay, then use its working (i will check that it does!) DVD/CD drive, and stick it in ours to cure the problem...hopefully :-).
As i post this i am just waiting to hear from a couple of local Ebay sellers to negotiate a donor machine....i will let you know how i get on.
