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!

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.
