$44 for a new double CD? Wow. That's crazy. Is there anyone in their
right mind who would ever pay this much for a newly released double CD?
It may get to that point one day. Prices seem to keep going up. And I
thought $25 for a domestic double was high...
I've seen some crazy prices as Tower. I'm starting to regularly see some
single European import Cd's for $30 (US). Man, if this ever becomes the norm
it's just not worth it. I'll just buy the odd release here and there and
keep listening to what I already have if it comes to that...unless I win
the Lotto or something.
Props to people like Fax (and Ear/Rational and other good stores) that make
import CD's available here at domestic US prices. They could certainly
charge more (and sell them) if they wanted to.
