In a world where torrents and other music downloads encroach on the music resale market, a savvy online entrepreneur needs to be one step ahead of the game with lower prices AND better product condition. Here's how to preserve your CDs for future resale on Amazon:

  1. Okay, so you've got a new CD or a CD that's still in really good condition. How do you go about First, decide whether you'll keep the discs seperate from their cases or together. If seperate, keep the cases where they can't be crushed or cracked and the discs in a CD case with enough cushion to keep them safe from one another. If together, handle both with care: Opening and closing a case a lot and with undue force can mess with the case's integrity as well as the cover art/insert booklet.
  2. HOLD a CD properly. Think about it: Smudges, scratches and even cracks can be prevented if you handle the disc with care. Never grasp it the way you would a playing card, with your fingers on it. The hole in the middle is there for a reason, people!
  3. STORE a CD properly. My dad, a music connesuoir like myself, has more music than he knows what to do with, some of which languishes in drawers. This wouldn't be so bad if the discs were actually in still in their cases! Never leave a disc out, or if you do leave it out, leave it with the clear side facing UP so that it doesn't get damaged by the surface it's lying on
  4. Keep cotton balls and rubbing alcohol on hand for getting rid of CD smudges
  5. Don't expect the CDs you play in your car to stay pristine; it's not going to happen. If you can, try to listen to your CDs when you're stationary and stick to mp3s or radio in your car.
  6. When it comes to actually selling your cds, always opt for Amazon, NOT eBay. Amazon is far more user-friendly and you get your money fast. To learn more about selling CDs on Amazon, see the link below. Or just stick to these main guidelines:

    * Ship them in a timely manner to avoid pissing off your customers
