The Price of Music: Let’s say you want to buy the latest CD of your favorite band but you do not want to pay?
full price. Price the CD at a local privately owned music store, a discount retailer, a Web site, and a national chain such as Sam Goody. Whose price is the best and why do you think that is the case?
I used to always buy the cd so that i had the case, the artwork etc, but it costs so much now compared to how cheaply you can buy from a website.
Websites are definitely the cheapest, there is no staff costs like a shop has, no packaging, no case, no leaflet, no receipt needs to be printed, money is saved at every angle.
