Help On Secondspin.com plz

Its my first time selling to them, i packaged up the dvd's and put the packing list in, and im asking for cash, not credit. It says to ship them Freight Prepaid, but ive never heard of that kind of shipping, it says they cant track 4th-class shipments. Anyone know anything about the shipping method Freight Prepaid, or if it has a different name, and how expensive it is? I looked on usps.com and couldnt find a Freight Prepaid thing anywhere on the site. Could I just ship them USPS Media Mail? Is that under 4th class, anyone know anything about this, or secondspin.com? plz help if you can, thnx,

I have done a couple of transactions with them and sent my dvd's media mail with delivery confirmation. I saw that whole freight prepaid thing and just sent them this way and everything went fine.

Did you tell the confirmation # so they could track it?

I have never bought anything from them but I assume it would be excellent. The reason for this being that everything they accept must be in pristine condition. They don't accept anything with scratches, smudges or fingerprints.

I purchased 3 DVDs online from them earlier in the year when they had a 20% off sale and all 3 discs were in excellent condition. I've purchased a few things from them in store and they've also been in excellent condition. I've sold quite a few to them, and like inri222 said, they require everything to be in excellent condition. I would feel confident purchasing online from them again. They're not a bad way to get Superbits for more reasonable prices.

I just bought a couple things from them during their last sale, all used, and two of the items were brand spanking new (original wrapping and security seals around em) ..although they were marked as used, they were new..I'm really surprised they didn't price them as new and sell them that way, but they won't get any argument from me..

Just to let you know, freight prepaid just means that you are not sending it COD or Postage due. You can send it any safe way via USPS, UPS or Fedex. I've done all three in the past.

The used section at their B&M that I go to also has some DVDs that are new. I bought a Disney Treasures tin relatively inexpensively that way. They are clearly new because they have all the normal security stickers still intact.

The cheapest way is to ship media mail, but keep in mind that "delivery confirmation" is not the same as insurance. It just tells you the package was delivered, but if it is lost, you're stuck losing out unless you insured it. Just keep that in mind if you are sending them a bunch of titles with a high value.

Second Spin is located in Colorado- So I just drive there and sold things there in the past.
They are a fair and honest company- They will inspect to make sure there are no scratches on the CD's, and DVD's as well as make sure the cases are not scratched,ripped, or cracked which is a good thing for people that want to purchase used items.

You can be sure that everything that you buy from them is in pristine condition, because they decline anything that even looks scratched (even if it isn't).

Hate to dig up an old thread, but does the store location give you the same for prices as the web site for selling?
