The upside is you can buy albums brand new for around $7. That's the shit right there.

The upside is I bought new, albeit from the sellers, but they're guarenteed as still factory wrapped....

Binaural for 1.98 + 2.49 for shipping
Yield for 2.98 + 2.49 shipping
Physical Graffit for 12.70 + 2.49 for shipping

To a grand total of 24.78.

That kicks ass.

Waiting does not.

I ordered a bunch of stuff right after Christmas from them (gift certificates rule). Everything got to me within a few days.

how exactly does buying used CDs on Amazon work? Say you buy a bunch of used CDs from a bunch of different sellers...do the CDs all come in the same shipment from Amazon?

they come seperately. unless you buy them all from the same seller.

Dear Waxy,

Amazon has buyer's protection for merchandise you purchase used also, one of the books I bought recently was a used book, which the seller never sent to me, nor ever responded to my email inquiries. I contacted Amazon and they credited my account no problem.
It's a pretty good set-up except for the different ship times and I think you have to pay a flat fee for shipping and handling

Best of luck in your journey,

Dr. S

After I saw what you picked up and the price you paid I went and looked at some stuff over there. I didn't really see a lot of deals at my first glance. New cds for like 11 bucks, when I could get that at best buy or something. Where are these 7 dollar new cds you speak of?

If you have some cd's or other media you want to get rid of, it's a good place to sell them. You'll likely get much more than you would selling them to a used cd/movie store.
