Any recommendations for any dealers that will do a good deal on a trade-in - ideally Lincolnshire/Yorkshire/East Midlands area?

In my experience you're better off selling privately if you can.bignige said:Hi all,

Pointless post...Gray said:On a couple of occasions, the Audio T chain has done a joint promotion with 5 leading speaker manufacturers.
The deal was 20% off new speakers with a trade-in of 'Any working speakers'. I wish that offer had been on at the time I bought my PMCs from them - I'd have glady sorted them an old pair of music centre speakers from the loft.
I traded a (broken) pencil sharpener in when the Harmon Kardon retailer asked for 'Anything' in part exchange for a 5% discount. (Though even my Mum told me I was taking the p!ss).
The last bit maybe (although that has previously made people with a sense of humour laugh). But the point is, Audio T may well repeat the offer - which many on here would consider to be a worthwile saving - as they're not all as rich as you. By the way, I saw a post from you advising someone not to spend thousands on cables. I considered that to by a highly pointless post, but did not say so because I have never and would never tell any person that their post was pointless.Gazzip said:Pointless post...Gray said:On a couple of occasions, the Audio T chain has done a joint promotion with 5 leading speaker manufacturers.

Gray, nor would I. It was a broken pencil sharpener joke. “Pointless”... *smile* Sorry if I offended you because I didn’t mean to. I meant to amuse you!

Trade in margins, wherever you find them, are miniscule. The resultant offer is usually on the full price of any goods they are looking to get shot of and not,unfortunately, on all of the dealers stock.insider9 said:Fanthorpes do decent trade ins. £200 they offered you was a good price in my opinion. Fewer and fewer dealers do it. Most of the time you will get slightly more if going a private sale route. As you found out with your speakers not always. All depends on the items and how big margin they have on the brand new item.
There's are fair few enthusiast (box swappers) that will be happy to take cash and gear as payment.
