"Hi, this is Sheldon Bradley, and we're going to talk about buying cheap CDs online. As I stated earlier, the changes in digital media has made a - you know, a dramatic change in influencing the way consumers buy and also the way music is sold today. So if you still insist on buying a hard copy of your CD and you're willing to wait for shipping, then buying online is the way to go when it comes to finding CDs for the absolute cheapest price. There are a lot of CD clubs out there but I'm not really into you know buying a twenty dollar CD to get five free ones. I think you can find much better deals than that online. So I would suggest that if you're looking for a particular title to go ahead and go to your favorite search engine and start there, looking up under the particular title that you're looking for. And so we'll go do that right now. Okay, so we're here on the Google website which happens to be my search engine of choice. And what I'm going to do here first is I'm going to type in one of my favorite artists, John Mayer. I'm a huge John Mayer fan so we're just going to type in John Mayer CD and see what we come up on the search engine. Here we can see it's on the Amazon website, so we'll click here and see what it says. As you can see here, that they have the CD regular price at thirteen ninety-eight but they have it sale price at seven dollars and ninety seven cents which is a pretty good deal. But if you're a real bargain hunter you can see here as well they have a hundred and thirty nine used CDs for fifty cent, now that's pretty much. So let's click on this here and see where it takes us. Okay, we can see that there are a number of sellers here selling the CD for fifty cent, at good, very good and used, you know, like new, and the shipping is two dollars and ninety-eight cents, so that's not a bad - not a bad bargain, you know, for you know a little over three dollars for this CD. So I would say this would be a great deal. So as you can see there are a lot of great bargains out there if you just do a quick search online for a particular title. And if you're willing to wait and do a little more hunting online I would say go to eBay definitely and look for auctions on CDs. Many times you'll find that titles start as low as one penny or ninety-nine cent. So if you're willing to wait and trust the seller, you know if it's a reputable seller online, on eBay, then I would definitely say search for a title there. And if it's not a particular title that you're looking for and you just, you know - want to try your luck at getting some great titles or whatnot, a lot of times you can find sellers selling CDs by the lot, you know, a hundred, two hundred, even four hundred CDs by the lot for maybe forty or fifty dollars. Of course you may not know exactly what you're going to get but you know if you're just looking for a bargain on a wide variety of music then I would say take a chance and buy a lot of CDs from eBay or some other auction sites as well."
