Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Buying CDs

So, where does everybody buy their CDs online? The best combination would include best price and reliability of the etailer.

I'm too lazy to do much research, and too paranoid to go with unfamiliar businesses. I get my used from Amazon or Half.

When I'm looking to save money, I use Second Spin for used discs. Have never had a problem with any disc I've gotten from them. Really cheap, but really slow on delivery. You can sell them the disks you don't want.

I do use Amazon a lot. They have free shipping if your order goes over $25.

Here one I've never used buy you might give it a try also.

Cheap CDS

Ray, I use Tower Records when they have a sale on items that I'm interested in and Arkiv for probably the most complete stock of classical CDs.

Overstock.com,.....GEMM,...Amazon, (sometimes a bit pricey), Steppenwolf.com, Jimi hendrix.com.

JandR.com
Jazz, classical

Option: Deep Discount CD

I use the DVD counterpart (Deep Discount DVD) and seem to get good pricing.

I have bought literally hundreds of CDs from Amazon USED.
Very cheap, and always satisfied. Over the years I think I had one disc that was scratched, and the fellow that I bought it from sent me back my money and told me to throw it away.

Like I said in my post, I use the DVD side of the DeepDiscount house. Doing a random sample, it seems that there is no clear winner between the two sites (DDD & JR.com) for DVD pricing. Each has DVDs that are better priced than the others. The good thing is that I now have another source for online DVD purchases. Thanks.
