> \*\*I work at a major video game store (nationwide chain) and I use the shrinkwrapper there to re-seal a lot of [CDs]after we burn 50 copies of it. Then we take em over to Best Buy and get credit since we don’t have a reciept. I actually got a 27" Sony Wega using this method. It ends up being about $200 to $150 cheaper to get the TV indirectly through a CD club. Also, my friend . . . gets the DVDs from a club, and he get a ton of cash for those. He just turned 18, so he’ll open up PO Boxes around the city and send anywhere from 10 - 40 DVDs and CDs to each of them per month. \*\*

Wait, let me guess . . . you guys are among the ones complaining that CDs cost $16-18, right? I’ll give you ten guesses as to **why** , and the first 9 don’t count.

Gee, I wonder why other goods are so expensive, too?
