I wonder how many people will make copies of their CDs and then sell the originals on Amazon?

I did a test run using AC/DC as the criteria. I was stunned to see that some of their "like new" offers was a whopping .95 cents!!! Seriously? 95 cents for a like new CD? There were some they were willing to give a whole $1.50....
I would rather put them in the microwave and watch the pretty light display.....

I don't know why you would think those CDs would be worth any more than that. They are not.

There are two stores near me that buy and sell used CDs. They won't even take a whole lot of CDs, because they are so common that they can't make any money off them (AC/DC is an example of artists they won't even bother buying). For the ones they are willing to buy, $1.00 or $2.00 is all they are willing to pay. Used CDs just aren't that rare, and aren't worth very much money. Reality check - what Amazon is offering is in line with the actual value of the CDs.
