Discount CDs

[spankyfrank]

So I'm tryin to expand my CD collection before IPods completely take over.

My goal is to try and complete the Rolling Stones 500 greatest albums.

However I don't want to drop 20 bucks everytime I buy a CD.

Does anyone know of a place in either NYC or online that sells discount CDs?

Amazon has pretty good deals on used cds. Follow the links.

[Caseyelan]

Ew at Vitalogy beating She's so unusual.

What was the hit on vitalogy? OH RIGHT.

What were the HITS on She's so unusual? 1. Money Changes Everything. 2. Time after Time. 3. Girls just want to have fun 4. All through the night 5. She bop.


That list blows.

[paulisded]

Spend a day in used stores and pawn shops and you should probably find the majority of your list...especially the Pearl Jam, Kiss, and Public Enemy titles.

And who charges $20 per disc? I keep seeing that figure brought up in threads, but nobody sells them for that much.

[realmenhatelife]

You should check out Pawn Shops and Good Will, they're the best places around me to get CDs and DVDs really cheap.

This isn't really IPods fault, you cant charge a lot of money for a continually watered down product that is readily available, in a wider variety, for free and expect to stay in business. If CDs all cost 10 bucks I think people would still be buying them.

[ANC]

If you're in NYC take a walk down St Marks Place and go to the music shops. You'll find plenty of used CD's on the cheap.

[Donnie Iris]

Nearly every record store that I frequent has a used section either separate or among the rest. Unless you're sticking with Best Buys etc., I find it hard to believe that it would be hard to find cheaper CDs at really any Independent spot; which most that are left tend to be.

Secondly, and this is obviously subjective, but is Rolling Stone really the authority from which you want to shape your musical taste/opinion? They lost me a long, long time ago. I believe Casey pointed out a flaw or two in the list just out of those first ten.

I now have my next mission in the city....thank you kind sage

[spankyfrank]

And also,

Other than the RS list i haven't heard of any other creditable album lists to follow by.

But of course you are all entitled to your opinion....

[ANC]

NP,
Also check out The Colony (http://www.colonymusic.com/) while you're there (although you'll have to go up to 50th). They have great stuff there. I'm not sure if they sell used CD's, but it's definitely worth checking out.

[Julia Bern]

Ipods are already taking over the place I thnk...

[Donnie Iris]

But of course you are all entitled to your opinion....

I've never heard of a single "creditable album list".

/I know, I'm being a dick...

[spankyfrank]

It really isn't going to be long before digital downloads completely take over. Oddly enough they are saying that the new Beatles box set which is coming out in the fall will try and breath life into the system.

[Donnie Iris]

I use an Ipod but rarely download. I still have a thing with having the physical product in my hand, leafing through the album literature, art work etc. Also, the whole process of cherry picking songs from records has never appealed to me. But, to each their own.

I never cherry pick, I always put the whole album on. I also hate ripping CDs so I'll download something I actually own. I like when there is extra stuff in a cd book, but I don't see that a whole bunch.

[spankyfrank]

I actually have never bought an iPod. My only exception is my Inno were I get R&F joyness plus a few extra bits I keep on there.

But my whole thing is I would like to just knock out a list of ten in one visit and not drop about 80 bucks.

Amazon is cheap but then they get you with shipping, and I'd rather pay cash.

Can you believe I'm 23, I sound like an old teabag. (no offense if you are older, I love you like my unborn children)

[mikeyboy]

But my whole thing is I would like to just knock out a list of ten in one visit and drop about 80 bucks.

You are aware that, even at that price, you're looking to drop about $4,000 for the whole list, right?

If you price up the cds I linked, it comes out to $75 with shipping, so it meets your $80 budget. Can't help you with the cash part. Amazon will let you pay through your checking account though.

[spankyfrank]

I don made a mistake, I don't want to drop 80 bucks. I want to keep iit as cheap as possible. My bad.....:sad:

[pennington]

Check out DeepDiscount.com too. They have a lot of bargains and the shipping is free. As was mentioned earlier, Amazon is a good place to start (it may be cheaper there even with the shipping charges).

It's not worth that much...over a half million of those were sold before the plane crash so it's really not that rare.

Thats why it's the bottom 10. it get's better i swear....
if I were to spend all this money on cd's and make it a long term project to collect them all I would start with the top ten rather from the bottom up. Why start with the least desirable ones? Especially if they are cd's of artists you would never listen to.

Because i would lose interest as the albums got worst. i'm basically doing the same thing right now with movies. using my netflix i've been going down the AFI 100 greatest movies from 100 to 1. and the movies get better all the time.

[spankyfrank]

So I made my down to NYC to check out St. Mark's place.

I found this awesome small shop with just stacks and stacks of Cd's, and Vinyls.

The Best part....the most expensive CD was 9 dollars, everything else is that or lower.

Tis a beautiful thing.....

[spankyfrank]

i didnt buy anything because:

A) I forgot my list and this place was totally unorganized

B) I didnt want to buy anything and carry it with me on account of me going to the paul mccartney show last night

Rainbow Music LTD. i think it was called....

[Radioguy]

Sounds?

I thought they were gone. Kim's too. I was also going to recommend djangos.com, but it's the same. :(

I haven't been to st. marks in YEARS. My good friend Cowboy Mark used to work at sounds and slip me all the goooood shit.

I practically used to live down there after school. Flipping through CDs and vinyl gave me callouses. :)

West Village still has more shops, but they're more boutiquey and not as cheap. Record Runner and Rebel Rebel will outlive us all.

Since when does # of hits translate into greatness?

And the real crime is either of them beating out NEW DAY RISING.

It absolutely doesn't. You are right. But hits are hits because they are somehow influential. If this is a list of top 500 records or whatever. You would HAVE to think Cyndi's record WAS WAY MORE SOCIALLY IMPORTANT then Vitalogy. Certainly not ten or Vs. But Vitalogy? absofuckinglutely.

[Radioguy]

As someone else said, thrift shops, like Goodwill and Salvation Army, may be the way to go now. In these days of digital files, some people are so detached from tangible media itself, that they mass dump entire collections there rather than eBay or haggle at a shop for cash.
