Bring it to the GU Shop (opening hours) and if it’s in good condition, we’ll most likely buy it for £20. Payment is by cheque and will be posted to you within 2-4 weeks.

Don’t worry if you will be leaving Cambridge within the next 4 weeks and closing your UK bank account; if you can arrange for a friend to give you the cash before you leave, we can raise the cheque in their name.
