Does anyone know of a good website to buy older CDs (new or great-condition used)?

I looked at ebay and most of the prices for "buy now" are too high. I'd like to buy from a reliable company.

What have you guys used?

I highly recommend checking out pawn shops from time to time. I got half my movie and cd collection from those places for super cheap. As mentioned above, half.com is a good one as well and searchable.

Amazon wanted $15.95 for many of the old CDs. Highway robbery.

Um, no. You must be buying extremely rare CDs or ones that didn't have a lot of circulation. I've bought probably 200 CDs on amazon over the years, and half of them i got for $3 after shipping in great condition.

Sure, you got yours for cheap, but maybe he's not as big a fan of Rob and Fab as you are. He may not want 200 copies of The Remix Album.

Yeah, because everyone knows products with small supply = lower prices always :jimlad:

If you've actually used Amazon to purchase CDs before, you'd probably know that most any album can be purchased for under $5 no matter how big the album is. Look up the top 10 albums in the Rolling Stone list, you will find all of them for under $5 used (usually around $2 actually). If you want to "step up" to the remastered version, you'll pay maybe $6 to $8.


There's more copies of big albums floating around, so they're less expensive. LPs are a different story, but CD wise? You will find most good albums on CD for CHEAP used.




Anyway, stores where you can buy stuff in real life are almost always better. You'll have the album right away to listen to, no shipping costs, you can see the item's condition instead of relying on a picture and/or text description, etc.

What type of music are you looking for? I have quite a collection of 70's and 80's rock stuff that I may be able to type up and part with.

I work for a company that sells DVDs and CDs over the internet as well as through catalogs. Their two main sites are CCMusic.com and the more broad site of DeepDiscount.com I can vouch for them being a reliable company. I can say that our prices probably aren't what you are looking for. But I know we carry a lot of harder to find and older CDs.
