Ok - I was getting a bit suspicious that old reliable
cheap-cds.com wasn't so cheap any more.

So I loaded up some shopping carts with Confield, Drukqs and
Moby's 18 and here are the results, including shipping:

cdnow.com: $53.92
cheap-cds.com: $50.90
amazon.com: $46.46
bn.com: $41.36

Damn you cheap-cds.com!!! Thanks for the bn.com tip,
titsworth...

no problem. it's even cheaper if you sign up for Reader's
Advantage ($10 a year and you can have a 2nd account for
your girlfriend or whoever at no additional cost). that puts
an additional 10% off every item.

check out cduniverse. they've got great prices for the
most part, and I've never had any problems with orders.

This is a simple way I have of comparing prices at the
moment - if you have a better way please go ahead, I'm just
trying to find the best deal.

well do you usually buy new releases, 'cause cduniverse is
one of the best I've seen for upcoming and recent releases.
I don't know, I guess you could shop around each time you
order. three cd's isn't a very big sample.

damn.....thanks for sharing that. i too thought CD universe
would be comparable/inexpensive.

you should check bestbuy.com (i only ask because i order
from there too along w/bn.com cos they have free shipping)

i signed up for readers advantage (from bn.com), and it's a
GREAT deal (and my bf gets his own card =) has lots of other
benefits as well....not just 10% off...other instore stuff
of which i can't think of right now!

discount!!!! =0)

It's the shipping that hurts cheap-cds and cduniverse.
They'd be right in line with bestbuy and amazon if you could
nix that.

ok, here's a test using a pre-order (twoism), a recent
release (new max tundra) and one that's been out for a while
(abbey road).

cdnow: doesn't have twoism listed
cduniverse: $41.06
cheap-cds: $39.08 (2 not in stock)
bestbuy: $40.97
amazon: $42.46
bn: doesn't have mastered by guy at the exchange listed

damn, that took too long.

yea.....that free shipping is the deal. and believe me it's
just as fast.....i usually get stuff in 5-7 days......which
is worth it, cos i'm patient!

btw.....bestbuy does not require 2 purchases.....just so
peepz know!
