I sent my Ipad Air 2 to Music Magpie to sell and when they received it they advised that it was faulty (i.e. the backlight did not work) and they offered me on £63 instead of the original £211. I rejected the offer and had them return it. When I got it back I had the Ipad checked and it was confirmed that it was in full working order. So I do not understand how Music Magpie can say that it was faulty when it was not. All I can think was that they were trying to pull a fast one.
My advice to anyone selling through them is to never accept their advice that something is faulty when you know that when you sent it, it was in full working order.

Strange - I have just had the same experience. Funny how they found fault with my IPad and knocked 90% off the offer price after I had rejected their previous revised offer for my Smart Keyboard. They wanted to knock a £7.00 offer down to £4.00 so i rejected it to teach them a lesson - it would cost them about £3.00 to post it back to me. I guess they couldn’t cope with the idea of not having the final word, as it were, although that mindset is a bit high-brow and overly ambitious for a glorified “rag and bone” service. It might also be relevant that I obtained my previous offer for the IPad just as the new ones were coming out so I had a decent offer for tech that was about to fall in value. In any case their behaviour was spiteful and below the belt, even for a jumped-up junk dealer.
