There seem to be two possibilities here:
1. You really do go through dozens of CDs a week personally and are so
out-of-touch that you think $14 or more is a good price for a used
domestic CD.
2. You scour used disks shops looking for disks you know are in demand You
then sell them on private mailing lists to people who aren't lucky enough
to live close to a good shop and don't realize that they can get all of
this stuff for the same price, or maybe even less, new. If this is the
case you are conducting a business on a private forum and you should take
it elsewhere.
A warning to anyone tempted to put $$ in the pocket of this gouger: all
of this stuff can be had *NEW* for a dollar or two more or sometimes even
a dollar or two less from any of a number of mail-order companies that
aren't out to skin you because you live in the midwest. Just a few
examples:
http://www.cdworld.com
http://www.cdnow.com
Are both good sources for domestic disks of almost any stripe.
http://www.modernmusic.com
http://www.dropbeat.com
both have a great selection of all kinds of imports.
And Ear-Rational at
http://www.xmission.com/~ear can get you almost anything
although it might take a while. I'm not endorsing these companies over
any others; I'm just pointing out that there are all kinds of options for
people that have a hard time finding this stuff closer to home.
