Where do you buy your CDs these days?

If there's a Half Price Books near you, they usually have a large selection and often have sales.

Pre pandemic, every Wednesday and Thursday you would find me doing the charity shop rounds (50&60% off those days😁).
Now?
Total waste of time and effort, have not seen a single CD worth buying in weeks.
This is in NE Florida. It seems nobody is leaving the house to donate so no fresh stock.

Earlier this year it was a buyers dream at most charity shops here!

I have to say once more; if you are in a state like AZ where I am, and there are many Goodwill stores, (this state is packed with them) they are a rich resource for great CDs which are normally in mint condition. Yesterdays catch was Sam Cooke's greatest hits, Levon Helm "Dirt Farmer", Aaron Copland "Appalachian Spring" Dave Brubeck Quintet with the Cincinnati Orchestra and Oscar Peterson on Verve doing his favorite Sinatra songs with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. 
All of this for $2.29 each! I love to get home and look up the prices of these discs on Amazon.

Amazon Smile donates part of the purchase to charity.

though i have not bought a single cd since i started streaming when the covid thing got me started

I just scanned Acoustic Sounds here:   https://store.acousticsounds.com/

I was very surprised.  It seems like they only have a couple hundred red book CD offerings in stock.  Maybe I didn't check carefully enough. But if I am right, ... not as much as I would have expected.

I still play CDs.  Maybe it is time to think about streaming or re-think adding more LPs to my collection.

Amazon eBay et al are great but as cd seems to be on the way out thrift shops and 2nd hand music dealers can provide some great buys.

I haven't bought a new CD in a while. I buy used from Discogs. 
I really object to Amazon's $3.99 shipping charge. Two CD's from the Marketplace 
will cost you $7.98 shipping.

I buy from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ebay as well.
Have fun!

Happy Listening!

I buy CDs from the same places that I buy my cassettes...thrift stores. If you try to buy cassettes at record stores, they want $1.99 for common ones and up to $10.00 for hard to find ones. The same record stores charge $5-$7 for pre-owned CDs. Thrift stores sell them for $.50-$1. I'm no cheapskate but most of my listening is by 60's/70's artists so why would I pay more. I'm retired and have time on my hands. Obviously, when I buy new music, like the new Norah Jones or Neil Young albums, I'm forced to pay around $15 at ZIA Records in Phoenix.

I buy from Ebay and Amazon depending on who has the best shipping rates. However for new releases, I have bought direct from the artists' websites. The artists get more money and often, they cut you a deal. I live in Atlanta and there are still a few used disc stores- recently released product and particularly sexy for bootlegs. The challenge I have in general is people stealing my mail. Tracking is essential.

Amazon for CD's ... LP's from Discogs. 

ebay and Amazon..no problems with ebay discs, and many are free shipping where used CD's on Amazon are an automatic $3.99 shipping fee, even though actual shipping is way less...

Agree with @uberwaltz 

I typically only buy LP’s from Discogs these days, but CD’s? You can always find good deals on eBay, many times with shipping included in the cost. I’ve gotten some great CD deals on eBay.

I buy ones that are new that I read about or old ones that I never got around to buying from Amazon, but I have bought many great CDs in mint condition, largely classical, some jazz and also some interesting rock and mixed etc from Goodwill. I do it every Friday. The price is $2.29 per disc, and sometimes they’re doubles. Yesterday I got an an amazing Janos Starker Mercury Living Presence as well as an Itzhak Perlman Greatest Hits and a perfect copy of Psychadelic Furs Midnight to Midnight for $2.29. The real motherlode is in the classical though. I come home with these mint discs, and look them up on Amazon and they’re $30.00 or more sometimes!

I buy very few but when I do - - Amazon.  A very good source for used cd's at good prices.

Don’t buy em but check out

If you truly need me to be serious then what is wrong with eBay??
For the few CD's and many records/tapes I have bought this year online by far the bulk has come from eBay.
Discogs grading is out to lunch IMHO.
It's fairly easy to pick a decent eBay seller by their feedback and items for sale.
Try it,they usually side 100% with the buyer in any disputes too so very little to lose

Amazon has been great for CD's. Though waiting several weeks for a title to come from the UK has taught me to be patient. 

+1 also for discogs where I've placed my first orders this past week.

Registration, selection, invoicing, and payment on discogs seemed a little daunting at first, but I think I figured it out and made some long overdue purchases of wish-list titles I couldn't find (at my price) on Amazon. 

I rarely do, but the first place I would look would be discogs.

I buy my CD’s from Music Direct and Amazon if MD doesn’t have it. 

FWIW I just ordered and received an order in about 7 days so they must have solved their pandemic problem.  Since they send postal their caution might relate more to the service USPS provides  than their own shipping and England's postal. Net cost is typically less than US based dealers (including Amazon) and then they have sales which lower the cost even more. Needless to say I buy most of my new CD's from them.

Re selling used CD's and booklets w/o case - good luck. Even with case. Unless its something special its easier to donate and take a deduction (if you itemize.) I'd guess the value of a used CD in a case in good condition would be $4 or less.

What's a CD?

I am thinking of selling a lot of my used CD’s: disc and booklet, no boxes. Just because they are not getting played much, in this case, in binders, I won't gain any space,

What do you think is a good price for you/anyone to pay for a CD/booklet with no box? What are people charging for shipping a CD?

Do you have a wish list?

I need space for my too many LP's, and new ones, so I am also thinking of selling a bunch of LP's, after I clean them, play them, decide they won't be missed. I sold some on eBay, started $1.99, figured let the market determine value. Several went for $1.99 + $4.00 shipping. Too much work cleaning, photographing, listing, I'd rather give them away.
