Every year I go to Denver and visit my daughter for a few days - there's some really good CD/record stores there, so I always ship a box full of all the CDs (that I find at garage sales for 50 cents to a dollar) to her house and trade them at these stores for CDs that I really want. Generally in past years you would get $2/$3 in trade value for excellent condition CDs at these stores. HOWEVER, a week ago when I was there, these stores were only giving 50 cents to 75 cents for used CDs. Man, was I pissed. I guess the quantity of people shedding all their CDs and going to ITunes and such has made used CDs virtually worthless. Anybody else seeing the same thing going on or was this just a one-off occurrence?
