Music Bargains
October 20th 2006 05:35
Music Bargains are going to be a lot simpler than books. First of all, if you’re a major music buyer (i.e. you spend a lot of money on CDs each year) I’d strongly recommend getting a MP3 player and a program that allows you to listen to your MP3s for a low monthly or annual charge (such as Real Rhapsody or Yahoo’s Unlimited package.)
The biggest key as I wrote last Friday is attitude. You can get bargains and enjoy great music. Can you get great bargains and get the latest CDs as soon as they hit stores?. No.? Patience is still required. Your goal should be to enjoy as much music as you want while paying as little as possible for it. While you can go to Overstock and Amazon.com to try and get the best price, it’s going to end up costing you in the long run.
CDs are going to be a lot simpler than books. While there’s different types of books, there’s really not different types of CDs, for our purposes. If I’m going to buy a CD (and I haven’t in about a year and a half) I’m going to buy it off half.com. Invariably the price on the CDs plummets.
In music, it really is the moment, the “in thing” that excites us. Only a few songs are even remembered by anyone other than an artist’s biggest fans. The good news if you’re a big fan of a specific recording artist, it’s extremely easy to get their Older CDs, go to half.com, type in their name and search away.
If you’re looking to buy the “latest CD,” just wait a couple months and you’ll most likely be able to get it off half.comat a steal. However, I still encourage buying the CDs after they’ve gotten into the $2-$3 territory. That way you can always have the option of selling it again on half.com and only being out the shipping fees.
