Best CD source?

Go to the local thrift shops and flea markets and do some digging. I do not use vinyl anymore but have my choice of thousands of LPs' in the local LA thrift shops for 25 cents to $1 per album (CD's are $1 to $3 each). They often get in whole collections from estates. We have purchased at least 40 mint CD's alone in the past two weeks for approx. $80.00. If you have the time it is a worth while venture. It also helps to get to know each shop's delivery schedule (if they are supplied from a main warehouse) and to arrive ASAP after the merchandise is stocked if at all possible (this is what happened with the CD's in the past two weeks).

I have multiple screens running to compare prices and have found over the course of five years that for new recordings CD Connection is best hands down. Order more than $100 and buyer receives free shipping. I find that their practice of free shipping to be a compelling one. Let's say you order $125 worth of CDs and that rare import is out of stock, CD Connection will ship for free even if your order has now dropped below $100. I have never had a problem and any communication I've had with them is fast and friendly. I could not reccomend any other new online retailer as high as I do CD Connection.

I have never had the opportunity to criticize Tower Records. They have a wonderful selection, especially classical, and are fast, reliable and, most importantly, polite. WWW.towerrecords.com

Victor, good tip on CD Connection. For 1-3 Cds buy.com is still lowest total price, lower than CD connection and much lower than Amazon/Tower etc. However the shipping deal that CD connection has is great, and if buying 4 or more CDs it offers best deal I have seen on new CDs.

Thanks for the tip!
