Thanks, but no thanks: Justin Bieber tops most-unwanted gift list

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sorry, Justin Bieber. But you are so yesterday, at least in Ohio.

Ohioans traded in more copies of Bieber's "Purpose" album than any other item on Decluttr.com during the first 48 hours after Christmas.

The site buys unwanted CDs, DVDs, games and cell phones for cash.

"Our CD and DVD trade-ins are always a good barometer of what or who is waning in popularity," Decluttr marketing director Liam Howley said in a release.

While Bieber's album was also the most unwanted item in Arizona and Hawaii as well, One Direction's Zayn-less album "Take Me Home" took top honors nationally. Nearly 10,000 copies were traded in over the holidays.

The site also bought plenty of "Frozen" DVDs and iPhone 6's, suggesting people weren't necessarily trading in unwanted new gifts, but getting rid of items they already owned but have outgrown.
