I've been buying $3 CDs - GoFuckYourself.com

Yeh I know it's cooler to steal or purchase songs for one dollar a piece, but hey I'm weird.

I have a subscription to Rhapsody, $10 a month. They have just about everything I want but every now and then I'll hear an artist or song that they do not have. Head over to Amazon Marketplace, most used CDs are under a dollar plus shipping of around $2.50. Have to wait a couple days but it's not so bad, really can't beat three dollars for a full CD.

My frugal idea for the day.

$3 is cheap for a CD. Good luck.

i have been buying used cd's for years.. i always thought they were overpriced and knew that bands barely got anything for cd sales anyway.. I do the same for dvd's.

bands get paid for touring.

Another benefit of CDs, unless badly scratched, is better quality sound than highly compressed music downloads.

On a related topic, do any of the major on-line music sellers (ie. Amazon) offer downloads in uncompressed PCM (WAV)?

no one uses WAV now a days, all the cool kids use FLAC...

I like to use my old CDs as drink coasters, then sell them used.

Make sure you get them autographed by the black dudes on the Venice boardwalk.

I've got almost 300 CD's I want to sell...mostly 80's Hair-Metal -- all are pristine like they've never been handled. And a rolling DJ Flight Case (Eurolight Cases) that holds them all. If interested, let me know...
