Are all their CDs $7? If so, where are they, and what do they carry?
(Used or new, pop or obscure.)

The last sale they had was $4.99 per CD, plus the shipping and
handling, generally $2 to $2.50 per CD.

BMG is the former RCA Record Club.

BMG is a total rip. You wait eons for your music, usually priced at $14.99
and higher, and they never tell you how much is shipping, and how much is
handling. I'd just as soon as go to Meijer, where the prices on most is $9.99
and some are as high as $13.99 and you get to hear your music now.

I dunno, I just got 8 CDs for $60. That's well under $9.99 each.
For that kind of savings, I'll wait. >8)

Hey, more power to you Rob, but I find that they don't have what I want, when
I want it, at the price and the time I want it.
Since I listen to oldies, classical, and other stuff, BMG often doesn't suit
me. I usually do better at Encore or Tower.

I usually have a major problem with "record club" services' selection, so I
only caved once on one of those deals. Finding 10 CDs I really wanted was
a major challenge, though.

I know the feeling, the last time Columbia sent me something I decided
to see if I could find ten CDs I really wanted. I managed to find three.

The best way to do it is to find someone you know who's already in the club
and have them give you their stack of catalogs... so you basically end up with
a list of everything they've had in stock for the past year or so. The
promo's they send out have all the CDs that are cheap and they're trying to
get rid of on them.
In order to save money through BMG (I've never saved a cent with Columbia
House) you have to wait for the sales and order a lot of CDs. The more you
order the more you save, generally. NEVER pay full price. You don't have
to. I've never paid BMG more than $8 per CD.

Does anybody have any good leads regarding buying new and/or used CD's, now
that I've made the sacrifice and disposed of my cassettes and cassette
singles? I'm looking for prices $8.00 or lower, which will count out most
new releases, but I specialize in compilations, especially those from Rhino
Records or CD's sung by that reclusive act called "Various Artists."

Ack! Why dispose of your old recordings? I've still got about
a thousand LPs downstairs.
Encore Music on Liberty Street seems to have an interesting
"various artists" selection of used CDs.

Re 36 - But how many people would buy 8 CDs if the slogan were,
"The more you order, the more money you spend!" >8)

It depends on what the CDs are!! But I'd be sure to read past the slogan,
which I don't usually.

I would try PJ's on Packard first, that is if you don't care about used
CD's. Then on to Encore Recordings, then as a last resort, Tower.
at least this is my way of buying music.

Leslie and I were looking at www.cdconnection.com and www.cdnow.com
this weekend, and the CD Connection site seemed to be consistently
a buck cheaper -- about $13 for most of the items we were looking at.
We've ordered from CD Connection in the past, no problems.
Best Buy can probably match that price on current popular music
CDs, but not on catalog or unusual items.
The CD Now site has more information about albums, including a note
if it's in stock.

personally, for cds, i've been going to tower lately, i used to shop at
best buy, but they've really gone downhill in the past year or so (a2
store) and their selection was never the greatest... tower's decent, a
little pricey, but i can deal with pricey if they have the selection,
tho there have been a few times when i was unable to find what i was
looking for (mainly stuff on import) I could spend hours on end just
browsing around tower.

Tower has easily the best cheapest classical selection I've seen... all the
horn stuff I have I've either bought there or directly through whoever
manufactures the stuff. But last week I went in to buy a Baumann CD I've seen
in there every time I've looked through the horn stack.. . and it wasn't
there. I'm bummed.
