almost every week you post that you got one or two
albums...
do you buy or download
if you buy you must be loaded!

well I work, but don't really have many expenses as I live
at home... this pay cheque I got was like 4 times my usual
amount, so I bought a couple, and will buy a couple more I
think...

well see theo himself's "cheap cd's" thread for my
instructions.. but you'll have to pay to ship to spain
instead of free shipping to the u.s.

getting cheap CD's in 4 easy steps:

1.
a) order from bestbuy.com where cd's are very cheap and you

can get free shipping on 1 item.
b) go to bn.com and perform these next 3 steps:

2. sign up for a reader's advantage club. for 12 months you

get 10% discount in stores (useless since prices are jacked

up in the the shop) and 5% discount online. when you order a

lot like me this 5% quickly pays off the $25 it costs for a

year. ALSO, you get 2 cards, so you can pick another person

to get the same discount, for free.

3. check here regularly and use the
discount codes.

4. with your discount information above, order any 2 items
(such as 2 cd's regularly priced at $12.99) and get free
shipping. after the discount your cd could be as cheap as
$9.

note #1: this is provided that you have no moral objection
to patronizing multi-million or billion dollar corporations

in order to save a few bucks.

note #2: it's oftentimes cheaper, and, for some, more
ethical and satisfying, to order direct from the label site.

for hefty records albums are $10 and ep's $7, with $1.50 for

shipping. www.heftyrecords.com. also, this isn't a label
site, but bentcrayon.com and strangefortune.com offer very
good prices for electronic music. hiphopsite.com offers good

prices too but the added bonus is you can get so many
freebies through ordering, including exclusives like bonus
discs, t-shirts, and posters.

note #3: it's cheapest to buy cd's used, especially promos,

but that doesn't support the artists because 1) promos are
pressed as loss leaders, profit-cutting cd's pressed for
journalists and radio stations in hopes of creating interest

in the album so that people will legitimately pay for them.

these cd's are technically owned by the labels anyway and
lent to people as promos, which sadly get sold a lot (i've
bought my share). so everytime you buy a promo, whether used

or unwrapped, you're taking money away from artists who you

barnes & noble . com is pretty good for prices but they
don't stock many of the smaller labels that i've been into
recently.
