I've seen the movie (High Fidelity) and I'd much rather give my money to an evil, money grubbing corporation.
Good movie. I like John Cusak movies. I just let my BMG expire, reup for 12 freebees, buy 1, expire again, reup, etc. etc. In between they get enough new ones to fill the 12 freebees. Then there is Amazon used. As for the local shop, I use a record exchange shop and have word out on the "street" that I am looking to buy or receive records. You will be surprized how many boomers are looking to give away their records!
