Why don't CD's drop in price due to age like movies and almost anything else?

Because people still buy the CDs at higher prices.  If people didn't buy them, the price would go down.  Why do you think the labels are so angry over P2P sharing..it cuts into their profit margin.

I don't think you can get new release that cheep. They mostlyl go for around $20 for some time and then go down from there. But I could be wrong.

It all depends on the model of your pc and also the age. If it is old the chances of getting a good price are slim, even if it is in good condition. Advertise it on your local radio station or why not try eBay.

It's a ploy by Hollywood to keep people from pirating their movies. They have to set examples by suing someone. Look at the case against Napster-it was a similar intent by the record companies to keep people from cutting into their massive profits.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE BUYING..IN 1980 A VIDEO PLAYER WOULD HAVE COST YOU £300 NOW YOU CAN GET THEM FOR £15

That's no bargain...so purchase independently or tell him about it.  Maybe they are being raked over the coals..so to speak.

Amazon.com is where I buy all of my older movies. The prices are wonderful, and the selection is out of this world! I'm addicted to buying movies now!! LOL! (I got one the other day for 20 cents + $2.49 shipping and handling! Not bad, huh?)

I really seriously doubt that Walmart ,THE BIGGEST RETAIL COMPANY IN THE WORLD, would ever do anything like that. All they care about is money, money, money and dropping the prices to what they were 20 years ago would cause them to lose precious money. Sure, some things cost a lot more then than they do now, but some things were cheaper then and dropping those things to the prices of 20 years ago would make them lose money. Think about it.

That's kinda hard because an average movie is about 1GB. An average DVD disc can only hold about 4GB.

2.79-2.99 first cd, then about 1.50 ea additional cd in same order. If its a multi cd pak, its still about the same(believe it or not).

Because 100% of the time it is cheaper than what it is being compared to. So they want the buyer to be aware of the fact that the two products do indeed compare to each other and hopefully the buyer will get their product instead of the more recognized, and more expensive, product. Hope this helps.

I think theaters are pricing theirselves into extention.  My local theater raise their price of a matinee to $5.50 just in time for the summer movie run.  They have raise the price about a dollar in the last year and a half.  There is a drive in that I would go to if the gas prices weren't so high, than I could see 2 movies for $5.  But why should I waste my money.  Hollywood is making more crap every year.  All they care about is making a million.  Now movies don't have the "legs" they use to.  If they don't make their money in the first 3 weeks of release it is all over. \nMovies move to dvd so much faster than they use to.  About 3 months now.  I pick what movies I will see at the theater (Cars, Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean), and the rest I wait for dvd.   I can reat a movie at Movie Gallory for $1.49 and get it for the whole day.  Or wait a month and buy it for $7.50.  I got patience.  And lets not even talk about the concession prices.  I got soda and popcorn at home.  Good question.

I concur with trying to bid at the last moment. Putting in bids earlier just tends to attract other bids. Also, do some research on the cheapest prices elsewhere, so you don't end up paying more than you can get it elsewhere. (Example - This can have unexpected benefits - I was looking for a particular DVD and actually found it cheaper on Amazon!). Don't use too specific a search string when looking for items. (Example - I was looking for the DVD/book set of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", did a search on "Alice, Wonderland" and found one listed on its own without the apostrophe with no bids. All the others were listed with the apostrophe.) Finally, with "sniper" bids, put in your maximum bid and let the system automatically fight off anyone else who is also doing the same -it can do it far quicker than you can.

Or else the Post Office themselves usually sell them, but they will be more expensive. If you are going to be mailing out alot of DVDs go to an office supply such as Staples or Office Max. Or what ever is in your area and buy them in bulk. Usually you can check and compare prices on line before shopping to make sure you get the best deal.

dONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE AMAZON IS THE BEST. I GET DVDS AND CDS THERE FOREVER AND NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM. THEIR PRICES ARE FAIR ALSO.

If you want a good answer to this, it is sad but truthful one. It is what is called supply and demand. If American's (the biggest consumer nation in the world) would put as much money as they do one buying movies, concert tickets, or anything of that stature and used it to help te poor it would be a different situation. So next time you buy a movie ticket, cd or go to a sporting event think about that.
