Genetic Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Following a discussion in another thread I was wondering if some of you were using the WEB to buy used CDs. One nice example from where I live: Musique du faubourg - Accueil I'm often too busy (read lazy) to go and spend time looking for CDs on location.... Amicalement PS Even GPH could find me a nice Michel Louvain's CD in there... Quote
aardvark baguette Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 you can find several hundred thousand used cds at amazon. Quote
Genetic Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Posted December 12, 2008 you can find several hundred thousand used cds at amazon. Dear Amazonian, Thanks for the reply but I was aiming at another target. Just finding out, for the sake of curiosity, if members would post their favorite local website ressource. Bonus even in my cold northern city they will shipp CDs across all borders. My mistake I was not precise enough from the start..... Amicalement Quote
grawk Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Amazon's used cds are mostly sold by local stores all over the country. Any given store isn't gonna have much of a selection anymore. Quote

GPH Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Get out of your laziness and come to Montreal. Near metro Mont-Royal, there are about 7 used CD shops in a radius of 1 km. Quote
JBLoudG20 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Next door to my old UConn Waterbury campus was a Vinyl shop. Quote

I dont want to know where stolen goods are resold in Montreal.... I'm looking (was) for info about (remember that part in my initial post?) websites comming from CD shops known by members.

grawk Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 My experience is any record shop worth going to won't have a website worth a damn. Quote
Sherwood Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 My experience is any record shop worth going to won't have a website worth a damn. Seconded. Consider the resolution drafted. Now, if Acoustic Sounds was to open a brick n' mortar near me, I might reconsider... Quote

ilikebananafudge Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 There are a bunch of Newbury Comics stores up here in the Northeast, they have a pretty good selection of used and new stuff. I like 'em. Quote

I like 'em. I've had great experience with them on eBay. They know how to ship vinyl correctly. Even had a rare Ryan Adams 45 I snagged. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 I <3 Newbury Comics, they need to expand to the DC area. I wonder how far the closest one is? Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 I <3 Newbury Comics, they need to expand to the DC area. I wonder how far the closest one is? I think they have a store in CT, IIRC. I like their used CD section, too - there are enough local shops around here and most of them have fairly large used section. One thing to keep in mind with them is that occasionally, their used price is higher than buying same CD new. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Isn't Rhode Island closer than CT? newburycomics.com Quote
ilikebananafudge Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Isn't Rhode Island closer than CT? newburycomics.com Google maps it. Yes, to google maps something is now a verb. Quote
