I started buying SACDs about 8 months ago & now have about 20. Many were priced the same or less than equivalent CDs - the so-called 'rare' ones can get really pricey though.

Most of mine came from ebay vendors - it has the biggest selection out there & I've never had a problem. I even got one directly from China & it was here in no time. Prices vary widely from seller to seller, for example I bought a Vivino Brothers blues SACD (excellent BTW) from a vendor in the US for $7 + $5 shipping at the same time that an Ontario seller had his listed at $50 + $7 for shipping!!

If you buy more than 1 a time you can often get a break on shipping costs on multiple items & as long as the total price isn't too high, the customs man won't bother you for sales taxes...
