I do primarily Amazon (big selection) and BMG (acceptable to fill in missing pieces for low $$)
On BMG I average about 5.25 to 6.50 a CD when purchasing including shipping- so thats really cheap. I do this when they send me email promos for buy 1 full price get 4 for 2.00 ea./ 60% off free shipping/or 1.99 sales.
They are missing a ton of stuff but certainly worth joining.
When I do Amazon I load my cart with both a new and a used copy of each CD I am buying and do the math. average used ones there for me run 9.00-13. with shipping. used ones in good condition to me are fine.
and now I clean em once drop on the HD- (back em up) and put the real CD in the library (maybe for the car). getting rid of the transport and going SB3 is fantastic and now I can focus more on the DAC end of the deal, without major $$ needed on the transport
I will pay 18-25 per CD if I really really want it, and it can't be had for less.
yes I am a cheap skate why waist $$.
I will hit the Cheskys, Telarcs, Mapleshades, JVCs, Analouge Productions and so on occassionally - usually thru Music Direct and the like.
