Step 1
Establish accounts on Amazon.com and Ebay.com. Amazon and Ebay have proven to be reliable ways to buy used items online.

Step 2
Search for titles that you are looking to purchase. Making a list of CDs that you are interested in buying will help you remember which titles you are looking for, as they may not be available the first time you search for them.

Step 3
If you are searching for mainstream or popular titles that are readily available, it is a good idea to compare prices before purchase.

Step 1
Search online to locate retail stores that sell used CDs in your area. Large cities generally have an abundance of these types of establishments and most small cities have at least one. Many stores that sell new CDs also have a section for used CDs.

Step 2
Look for stores that buy CDs from individuals. These stores tend to have a large stock of used CDs that rotate very quickly and are likely to offer low prices on used CDs because they purchase and sell so many.

Some record stores that sell rare and out-of-print CDs will hold used CDs for customers. If you are primarily looking to purchase these types of CDs, you should find a store that will contact you when a specific CD comes in.
