Best Buy to Pull CDs, Target Threatens to Pay Labels for CDs Only When Customers Buy Them

Geoff, you can still make me bust out laughing..Best Buy ALWAYS had a terrible collection of drivel in the CD bins. Aside from current top sellers, they usually had ZERO CDs I would ever consider buying.                       
To find anything I actually wanted I would go to a few music only stores, or more recently search Amazon.

BestBuy wouldn't be my first choice for music regardless of format.

Ditto for target.

+1 for Amazon.  There is also a used CD Market.  Most cities have a music store similar to Dimple Records where you can purchase used music CD's.  There's also Amoeba records.

If anything, BestBuy and Target are most likely finding it difficult to compete with Amazon on price and the convenience of shopping online.

There is a very good selection of CD's on eBay if you care to look there.Shipping can add a couple of bucks so that's a consideration. if you're looking for something off the beaten track though, it can be worth that couple of bucks.

I use EBAY to search for CD's at bargain prices. I just won at auction (Amoeba) three nice CD's: REM Document ($.68!), Miles Davis Around The World ($1.81) and The Replacements Tim ($4). Shipping was $5.75 from LA to Florida. Done from the convenience of home with my smartphone!
