The used cd stores in our area are slowly on the decline. There used to be four that I knew of and now there are only two. Most recently, a good friend of mine decided to trade in some of her old cd’s lying around the house. I accompanied her to one of the local used cd stores. They picked out the cd’s worth value to them, and in exchange, gave her a coupon for $22 worth of store credit. She decided to look for some cd’s of her favorite band and came across one that seemed pretty old and possibly out of print. It sold for $17.99.
“I’m going to sell this on ebay”, she said. Later that evening, she posted the cd for auction starting at $20 and a BIN (buy it now) price of $50 just figuring it was worth a shot. No sooner than 20 minutes later, someone purchased the cd at the BIN price! Wow! Who would’ve knew?
This just goes to show that treasure hunting does work. Whether at used cd stores or garage sales. When you come across something old, maybe it is worth great value to someone else. Keep on the look out and find those hidden treasures!
