Amazon eBay et al are great but as cd seems to be on the way out thrift shops and 2nd hand music dealers can provide some great buys.
Where do you buy your CDs these days?
I'm curious what online sites folks use to find CDs? I use Amazon, and especially their Marketplace sellers for used discs. But prices have become high and supply has become stagnant. I used to use several European retailers (Amazon UK and Presto) before the pandemic, but shipping is extremely slow these days and I've had more than one never show up at all and presumed lost. Surely there are other online retailers?

I just scanned Acoustic Sounds here:
https://store.acousticsounds.com/ I was very surprised. It seems like they only have a couple hundred red book CD offerings in stock. Maybe I didn't check carefully enough. But if I am right, ... not as much as I would have expected. I still play CDs. Maybe it is time to think about streaming or re-think adding more LPs to my collection. BIF |
I have to say once more; if you are in a state like AZ where I am, and there are many Goodwill stores, (this state is packed with them) they are a rich resource for great CDs which are normally in mint condition. Yesterdays catch was Sam Cooke's greatest hits, Levon Helm "Dirt Farmer", Aaron Copland "Appalachian Spring" Dave Brubeck Quintet with the Cincinnati Orchestra and Oscar Peterson on Verve doing his favorite Sinatra songs with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. All of this for $2.29 each! I love to get home and look up the prices of these discs on Amazon. |
