Popular Post TheAttorney Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 An unexpected consequence of the nearing end of CDs is that prices have been going up - at least for non-mainstream acts that I typically buy online from the likes of Amazon: 2 or 3 years ago, I rarely paid more than £5 for a CD from Amazon. I may have had to wait a year or two for a release to appear 2nd hand or in a sale. And this was almost always much cheaper than buying the equivalent download. But in the last year, the typical CD price is more like £10, and the 2nd hand price often is higher, with less competition between sellers. I assume this is because so few non-mainstream CDs are made these days, that they quickly become out of print, so we're paying for the rarity aspect. It's still possible to get a bargain, but becoming less and less frequent. And download prices are now often lower than the CD. Shame, because, as much as I spend too much money on my hifi system, I still like a bargain. There's still the charity shops etc for dirt cheap CDs, but you have to sift through an awful lot of rubbish to find the occasional interesting ones. Teresa and Iving 2 Link to comment
