Why is that prices seem to be going up in the Big Stores? HMV typically sells CDs at $18 now! That's close to what CDs cost when they were first introduced, and the factory rejection rate was something like 70%. Of course, HMV instituted those silly score cards - "Buy 10, Get 1 Free" - a move which coincided with raising prices. Nice trick. I've had enough. GEMM it is. Even CDNow seems to have raised prices. By the way, I've been ordering quite a bit from w3cd (www.w3cd.com). Very cheap, quite a good selection, and free shipping (well, for a while; seems to be a promotion for the next few weeks). The order arrived today... 3
