I do that all the time =/

I have lots of friend sin bands, and know lots of people on my scene, so when ever they recomend something to me I pick it up with out hesitation.

used cd store = rox

Why pay full price?
Most new albums are there within a week or so once people have listened to the cd and realized it sucks/gotten sick of it/burned it.

i did that a couple of times.

i bought Zwan - "Mary star of the sea" like that, and i'm glad i did to. I also picked up the "Honestly" single, though that wasn't as good of an investment ... but i can't complain for 5$.

Scratches?

The used cd's I've picked up have little to no playback affecting scratches. I guess some stores don't treat CD's when they get them in. The one I go to won't buy a CD unless it looks good and plays correctly. I'd think resurfacing would be common practise in used CD stores, but I guess it isn't. The one I buy from resurfaces every CD they get and they've saved my CD's numerous times from being chucked and bought again.

Two bucks to resurface a messed up cd is the best deal you can possibly get.

Azuradisc is the shit

I've only gotten burned once on a used CD...Sepultura's _Chaos AD_.

Some fuckface hit it on the playing surface with a permanent marker, and the store didn't check to see if it was damaged when they bought it off him. When the screaming starts on track 7, I just open the CD player up manually.

No other problems with scratches, though. And I buy a ton of CDs used, it's about the only way to get catalog material from bands like Sodom and Death.

I have bought a few random CDs not many of them were good for repeated listening.
Conemelt - 24 Carat Conemelt, This was probably the best one, I listened to it alot before it got stolen.
Fudge Tunnel - The Complicated Futility of Ignorance, Couldn`t be fucked trying to figure out if I liked it or not so I never listened to it again.
Various Artists - Subpop, Haven´t even bothered listening to it, looks crap.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Don´t know the title I just bought it because the cover was done by HR Giger, I am too scared to listen to it incase it is crap.

These are the only ones that I have bought without knowing what the music was like but there are a lot more CDs which I have bought because I have heard that the band are good without actually hearing them or that I have heard only one song and bought an album which the song isn´t even on.
