I've bought many a CD during the past twenty years and the majority of them have been used because I am rarely wlling pay $15+ for a CD. When I do it's usually for a new release from an artist you would never hea...r or see on either radio or TV. Ironically, the few times I am willing to sport $15-30 for a new release it comes direct from the artist (i.e. Mike Keneally, Sonny Landreth) and with an autographed sleeve. The distribution of these artists is so limited that I don't mind paying a premium to support their work. But the thought of paying the same premium for decades old back catalog fare from major artists (i.e. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd) doesn't strike me as a good value in the slightest. I'll wait until they show up used at Hoodlum's, Zia or Amazon's marketplace. Steve is right on the money with his demand side comments regarding catalog pricing for albums.
